I'm up in the air!

Hey everyone,

So, I want to do some upgrades to my exterior and interior.
I just don't know where to get started. Basically, I want to change my side rockers to a ZL1. I'd love to change my hood to something more angry.
I like the looks to the new back ends out. I'd also like the lights that change colors as well. Also, maybe painted calipers.

On the inside, I have a tear in my seat, got to love kids. I don't know if it can be fixed, or I need a new seat. I'd like to put some sort of led lighting inside.
I do have custom door panels, but don't know where else to go from there. I'd also like to upgrade my sound system, but people say I can't.

As far as my engine, I'd love a Supercharger, don't have that type of money yet. I do have a K&N CAI, 160 thermostat, Kooks 1 7/8 LT Headers, and Exhaust. Also, I have a tune in my car. I don't know where to go from there.

I'm literally horrible at fixing anything! Unfortunately, so are my friends.
However, I can break anything, and can hold a flashlight like no other.

I'm obviously trying to keep costs down. Hoping for some local help in all aspects. Any and all help would be awesome!!!!
I'll show some pics of my baby to help out :-)

I wanted color changing halos too (still do), but the problem is, you have to remove your bumper, and often you have to put your headlights in an oven. Yes, you read that right. Am oven. Like.. In your kitchen.. This cracks open the seal around the lights, then you have to do a bunch of stuff and seal them back up.. Not so fun.

I hear a lot of vert owners saying they like the sports bar (I think that's what it's called)

Yikes! I'd probably burn my house down lol!
I've seen the sports bar, I'm not too into it.
Thanks!

I've noticed that with the 5th gen Camaros, less is more. Its a great initial design from GM but unfortunately its also very easy to go overkill on these cars so finding the happy medium is crucial. I myself have never been a huge fan of the Transformers add'ons merely because every yellow Camaro on here seems to go the same root. If I were you I would start looking through the forums for ideas you like and see if its a viable option for you. Nobody can really tell you what you like.
