What to do next?

I want everyone's opinions here. PLease look at my gallery and look at the list of mods in my signature. What should I do next? Please keep in mind that I want to keep my warranty in-tact. Thanks in advance for all the input.

Go with the cooling mods, they might free a few extra hp's and do a little protecting as well. I would say the GM Dual bypass with the ion coolant tank, and maybe the cobra HE.

No 60 lb injectors for me. I am trying to get as much power as I can while still "playing it safe" and keeping my stuff covered under warranty.

What about visually? I am not looking for advice on just performance upgrades, but I'm looking at ideas for the body as well. I manage a collision center so I have access to everything I need. I think I am leaning towards the Duall Pass endplate though. It makes sense.

I already have a shorty antenna. Springs are not an option unfortunately because the roads are crappy around here. I am not a big fan of stripes unless somebody can photocrop my car with them. I have already customized my grille, but a few people have already done what I have. Wonder what I could do different there? I do not want to change any of the stock body panels. Does a short throw shifter really make much of a difference on these cars. The stock shifter is already a short throw. As far as eylids go, that might look weird with my painted headlamps wouldn't it. It would be cool if somebody could photocrop my car with eyleds because I could paint those on. And my car is already tinted. Look at the pics in the gallery please. Keep the ideas coming, I like it.

I have been thinking about painting my rims as opposed to replacing them, but I have yet to decide on a scheme. I have already painted a few pieces on my interior. Everything silver is flat black except for around the stereo. NO BODY KITS. It takes too much B.S. to install them and they still do not fit very well. I have lots of experience in that field. I am going to avoid that land mine altogether. I bought the SS decal at a NASCAR race though.

I have not upgraded my brakes yet. I am going to buy the GMPP cross drilled and slotted rotors with EBC Ceramic pads once mine wear out.

Not a fan of the blacked out lights even though we do them at my shop on a daily basis. No carbon fiber anything. I just don't like it. I guess an HID kit would be a decent mod. I've got silverstar bulbs now, but HID's would be awesome. My coworker put them in his 2002 F-150 Harley Davidson S/C. Looked great.
