easy, Solo performance Mach Exhaust with 3" CAT, Dejon Intercooler with matchin piping of course, And Westers EMC tune... then depending on cash do the Dejon turbo swap. RKSport ram air hood and carbon fiber dash for looks
I like the basic design. But if money was no object, I’d definitely want to modify the Damn Edna headlights, something along the lines of the Aston Martin DBS style. For an aggressive look the Maserati GranTurismo head lights. Suicide doors might be cool. Subtle wheel flares, but not so wild you think of a Ford Cobra, and staggered front and rear wheels. A smaller front turn signal/driving light opening. Recessed Pontiac grill. Oh yeah, and chrome side, windshield, and rear window surrounds. Move the side mirror stalk into the side window area. Color wise I'd go with black or dark charcoal (microscopic metal flake type finish), bright red leather interior, lowered an inch or two, might as well throw in a tinted targa type top. The tail lights I’d probably want to flush them out and get rid of the part that runs onto the top, and neon tail lights with chrome surrounds. Guess the chrome is the 60s coming out in me, when automotive manufacturers started phasing it out to make a car look modern, but we all know it was to save a buck.
Again, nothing too wild, just enough so you’d know it was a little different.

Reason: clarification
I would remove the hardtop/targa and put on a retractable canvas top. Oh wait...I already have that. lol

For a little more money it'd have the new caddy DI V6 with at least one turbo, better gears, full coil-overs...... you get the idea
edit: just found the coupe, now for the photoshop. Although i do prefer the older LMs from the first pic to these by FAR
I have those rims in black and love them...gonna actually paint or powdercoat the outer lip in a dark red to match the stripes on my car. Those rims look gorgeous on the coupe, even better than on the soft top.

Black with a red lip will be SICK with your car. I definitely can't afford BBS's at the moment but that is a great style. (actually trying to get a set of cheap stockers to play with).
I saw a pic of a black BMW with black rims and a polished(looking) gold rim in motion somewhere and the picture was just sex.
All you saw were two thin gold circles... just hotness.
I just picked up a Truckin magazine last week. Kind of amazing how you can get ideas from pretty much anywhere anymore, plus I'm still thinking of getting a Camaro. We sure have come a long way wheel wise. There was a time you could only get Cragar, or Cragar, lol.

Yea Im getting a quote today about painting the lips red to match the stripes. It's only the lips so it might not be that bad.

i would love to a know ballpark figure for that.
I have a set of chrome sky rims (picked all four up for $100+ship) and i'd like to keep them but if i can find a set of stock Sol or sky rims for super cheap i was thinking of breaking the powder coating gun out. I really really want a gold lip as anything with a polished lip has just been beaten into the ground.

I hear that...Mine has started to get scratched also...that is why I am thinking a good powdercoating will be in line for the near future. When I get a price, I will let you know.
I plan on moving all my Convertible parts to the Coupe. Race wheels, hitch, SOLO Street/Race exhaust. I also plan on getting the Stage II of course and possibly the GM intake. I also want to do a custom paint job like I had prototyped out on my Convertible. I didn't do it then cause I knew the Coupe was coming and I'd want one.
