I say leave the wheels, you car is awesome! The grille looks really good with the stockers, and the hood just tops it off. I would say get the Hawks 5" high-rise spoiler, not to many people have it and it would fit so well with your cars look.
Keep those wheels, aftermarket ones really change the overall look of the car, the hood, grille and spoiler just pump it up. Just my opinion. :shrug:

I say go with the ZO6 wheels or the Y2K C5 wheels. I really think that with aftermarket wheels and a new hood it really makes the car stand out. stockers look good but then if you are going with body mods then they need to go...IMHO

agreed.

stock wheels + aftermarket hood = a decent looking car...but not an awsome looking car.

as for things you could change/add
i would say flames, maybe even ghost flames. also wheels as you said, maybe some snypers... snypers = :hail:

what would be the average cost on ghost flames? I was thinking of doing them in a pearl champaign type color. either that or what do you think about accenting the hood scoop in the same color that then becomes a stripe the runs over the top and stops on the deck lid.
