Default What to do next?

I have been thinking for days what my next part will be to put on my 02 z28. I will soon have my headers. But I don't know what to do next. This is my daily driver and I don't know if I want to do some appearance mod such as the SS hood and get a total repaint. I'm not sure. Or go with some other bolt on or a tune. I have a borla cat back and slp lid by the way. Any of the advice you guys will give is welcome. Thanks
