I have had the Halltech Stinger and it was nice, easy install good quality. I switched to the Callaway Honker for the cool air and the fit is great, quality is also install was a bit more work.
As for the glass top, keep a look out in the parts for sale section, I see them for sale there every now and then.

My combination of bolt ons works well for me (see sig).
If you're not against opening the motor, a cam with a tune would definitely wake things up.
My motor runs great, so instead of tempting fate with a cam/heads, I'll probably go with a 3:90 gear next.
Let us know what you're priorities are.
HP?
Torque?
How much noise do you like (ie exhaust)?
Driving on street only, drag strip or autocross?

I've got a Blackwing on mine and like it a lot. Other good options include the Halltech Stinger and the Callaway Honker.

Don't expect too much.
You can get the same gain by drilling some holes in the stock lid. None of these will make much difference in power unless they are of the "cold air" design or you open up the fog light surrounds, as noted above. But if you do that, your engine will get a lot dirtier.
Are you planning more mods down the road, or is this it?

Thanks for the Great advice everyone!
This is all I'm planning for now (performace wise), other mods -cosmetically-I'm looking into are some Z06 Calipers, Red Fuel Covers for now. Just trying to take baby steps (even though it's so very tempting!!)

Plus the risk of "drowning" your engine if you hit a deep puddle at speed!
