Default Firebird Appearance Changes

Well Im to the point with my sixer where im not sure what to do next, I thought about wheels, but I just cant find anything that looks good enough and unique enough. The car will be recieving a 10 bolt off an SS, as well as a powerdyne supercharger kit that are sitting in our barn right now. But I am just at a loss for what to do next, anyone have any ideas as to what i could change next? im mostly looking for appearance advice since the power will already be there. thanks in advance, here are some current pictures.

Too much, IMO. Anything more than 2" is too low if you ask me.

I think some Firehawk wheels would look great if you can find some.

with 19's or 20's a 3 inch drop looks like the usual 1.5-2 inch drop you see on everyones casr that has 17's or 18's. But when your car is tucked not dropped with a gfx it looks killer. And i intended to lower my car 2 inches but it ended up being three and theres still room between my front fender and my 17 inch oem zo6 so i think 19's would be perfect there with that drop. i agree with no gfx i think this drop would be too much but gfx look stipud if theres all kinds of room between the car and the ground it looks like your cars prancing around in a skirt or an apron. Put it right against the ground and it looks amazing. And face it our cars scrape worse stock than with a stiff racing suspension and lowered
