i say if you have the hook up for smog, or dont mind swapping your stock stuff back on every other year, do the longtubes. But If you dont like the hassle with cali and smog, then its really just about 20hp (not much) with longtubes. Pick up that horsepower with other mods, and just get the rims/tires and you wont have to worry about the stupid smog *****

Dude you have the factory WS6 wheels, which IMO are some of the best looking stock F-body wheels. Get the power mods. Trust me, its much more fun

I would compromise, get the performance parts and get those stockers polished a little more, they look good to begin with. Your car is definitely sharp, love the SOM.
