You already have the MGW shifter on your list. It's one of the best mods I've made. If those are the original runflat tires, chuck 'em. Most everyone loves the non-runflat tires they've put on their C5s, so I think you can't go wrong. I got the Hankooks and the difference in the ride and road noise is substantial. I've got 40,000 miles on them now and they still have some tread left.
Those are the two essential mods. After that, consider Radioflyer's fancy headlights. They're expensive and they're worth it. And a new head unit, one that allows you to use Android Auto or Apple Car Play from your cell phone, brings you into the modern era. I got all new speakers as well, but the Bose speakers in your car are pretty good, so replacing them is kind of a luxury.
Have fun!

Well my goodness you certainly have good taste in colors. I was very fortunate in that I did not have to get rid of my 95 when I bought the 04.
Love them both. Very different cars to drive
