I know you have mentioned dropping it isn't an option, but a stance is what really sets a car off. I would also go CETA panel like mentioned, and some wheels. I'd stay away from Torque Thrusts. They're great, but everyone has them. Fikses would be really nice, but you could always go CCW if you wanted something a little less pricey. I think some black CCW classics could really set the car off and not as many people have them (yet).
If you want some kind of vinyl or stripes, I think the 35th TA side stripes would look alright. They could be silver to match your front bird and side emblems, or you could take the emblems off and go with black stripes.

The black part is the 'CETA' panel.
Lol, isn't that an LT1 in the 'final' picture? Anyways, the car looks good. I would lose the phoenix's, vht the tails, ceta, and slap some black wheels on it. If you've got the dough, I'd go with black CCW classics.
Where are you having clearance problems with your exhaust. If they are "under the axel" lowering the car will not effect their clearance. I have a 1.5" drop or so and long tubes. My Y-pipe is not quite tucked up like I want it but I have no issues.
Unfortunately you really need to lower an F-Body. It is just required!
Nice color man - I think I am going red next time!

Black wheels are a great idea for this car. If you really like the stock 5-spokes, you could try and find a set of the CETA wheels maybe on ebay. Black w/polished lip Z06's would be a great cheap choice. Ruff racing also makes some very-high-end-looking wheels for really cheap. They offer most of them in black with a polished lip.
Also black hood/spoiler stripes would look great.
