Welcome to the forum.
Pictures are mandatory for new members.
I think one of the first things to do to any C5 is lower that puppy, The C5 has way too much space above the tires.
Next is if you have the WW, They need to go.
Mine isn't silver, But close.

It would help if you told us whether you wanted to concentrate on appearance or performance mods. Lots of things to choose from in either category.

Minus the L5's, Wheels, and stripes we've pretty much got the same setup (wish I had L5's and those wheels though 
)
If your looking for looks first mods for me would be painting the rear end with bumper-paint (only about $15 for this mod), and then the HALO modded HALO lights: http://shop.jwmotoring.com/product.s...1&categoryId=4
If you want performance I'd get an MGW shifter (6-speed?) this was my first mod and was WELLL worth the $

My '01Z has only modest modifications in this order: Hurst shifter, K&N air filter, Borla stinger exhaust, Baer Eradispeed rotors, Lowered about 1.25in, Hotchkis sway bars, IForged rims. No engine or running gear mods. OEM shocks. I'm satisfied with it at this point but I'll black out the rear facia soon. There is no end to the mod fever, you just need a big bank roll. No matter what you do you'll have a great time doing it.

wheels, those i forged above look good, so does the set with the red stripe. my personal fav is the volk te37. take a look, see what fits your interest. nothing really creates the look of a car like your own choice of wheels.

Ive been considering the Iforged TE-10's in the HyperSilver color with Red TimeAttack wheels stripes. They look great and for a forged 18/19 set around $2500 new you can't really beat the price.
