Whats the next step for my Camaro?

I'd like some input on what I should do next with my '91 RS.
If my ideas aren't the best I would appreciate some suggestions.

What I'm considering:

Doug's Headers electric cutout
Ls1 brakes or rear disc conversion
Strut Tower Brace
Tints
Struts/Shocks
Subs+Amp
Hypertech Chip

What I have:
Stainless Steel Hooker Headers + Y-pipe
Hooker Cat-Back exhaust system + Magnaflow 18" tips
Custom fabricated "triple snorkel" air cleaner
Sylvania Silverstar performance headlights
Hotchkis subframe connectors
K&N high flow filters
TDS Wonderbar

Re: Whats the next step for my Camaro?

how sold are on the 100% white exterior?

your car looks to be in great shape, but I can't think of anything more bland than a all white RS.

heritage stripes, black out buckets, something... anything...

I don't love the stripes to be honest, I thought about doin' the headlights I just kinda figured there's better ways to spend my money. Personally I really like the solid white that's why I have such a hard time deciding if I should change anything.

Re: Whats the next step for my Camaro?

well if you like it, keep it! From what I see, it's the only thing I would possibly change to a car that seems to be in fantastic shape

Yeah its immaculate, still amazed I stumbled upon it on the side of the road. I'm pretty satisfied with how it looks though so I'm leaning toward performance upgrades. Not saying I wont change anything aesthetically I'm just trying to keep it as classy as possible

Re: Whats the next step for my Camaro?

Strut tower brace and LS1 brake conversion would be my top choices on your list, I've done both and they're a must have, unless you are gonna spend more money on even bigger brakes.

I found this conversion where you use your own rotors, calipers and brake pads would you recommend the full kit or would this do the trick?

You can do it a lot cheaper than $375. I cut down my own spindles with a ban saw and filed them smooth, then a friend at a shop cut down the rotors to make the hubs for like $30. I did spend the money to get the brackets from EB Miller which I believe we're $75 at the time, I'm sure that site carries them by themselves too.

Another thing you should get is a bowtie z28 grill

Thanks for the tip I think I'll give that a try. I like the bowtie grill idea I was looking at those but If I get the electric cutout I didn't know where I could put the switch for the fog lights and keep it clean looking.
