Default What to do next?

I'm torn between speed and appearance, like everyone else im sure lol. To me, the outside of my car is a little boring but i wouldnt mind having a couple extra horses under the hood. both would be within about 100-200 dollars of each other so its not about money. Gas mileage doesnt matter either because right now im getting about 20mpg in the city and ive heard its very easy to keep the same gas mileage providing you dont stomp on it all the time.

A)RKsport fiberglass SS hood with black manta stripe, dragonz28's stainless z28 emblems, h&r sport springs for a drop, and if i have any extra cash export tails.

-or-

B)pacesetter LT headers, ORY, ls6 intake, swap out LM resonator for borla xr-1, and supporting mods(o2 sims, plugs, wires locking bolts,) maybe port t/b.

Heres some pics of the beast to give you an idea. oh, and PLEASE NO "TAKE YOUR G/FX OFF" comments. i like my g/fx even if no one else does. your opinion is appreciated thank you







and i dont know why but here is a pic of my girlfriend.

I was in a similar spot but for me it was either HP or Suspension. I went with suspension to fix the ride quality and for some power that I'll add later on.
