Welcome aboard, and congrats on your first Vette. As for mods, there is no limit to what you can do to these cars. A lot of people when they buy their first one go overboard with and end up with "catalog" cars. No real individuality, just a bunch of stick on crap.
That said, seems like you're heading in a good direction.
As for intake, a vararam or vortex system will let it breathe better. Either one brings in much cooler outside air. Your twin cone breathes a little better than stock, but still brings in air thats warm from under hood.
Cant go wrong with Borla or Magnaflow. I personallly have Borla Stingers and they're deep without being obnoxiously loud. Search youtube for sound clips to see which ones you like best. Adding a good set of headers will let your engine breathe and make the sound much better also. Longtubes are best, but don't let anyone tell you that shorty headers aren't worth it. They get the gases out, sound great, and need no modification to install. Again, your choice.
Suspension wise, the best set up is a complete coilover conversion, but thats high dollar stuff. Changing to a better shock, bigger z06 sway bar with metal end links will definitely help. Yes, they will work with the stock lead spring. The best thing you can do for the handling of the car is to change from run flat tires to a convention performance tire. The choices are almost limitless. You'll think it's a completely different car.
If it's white light your looking for HIDs with 6000K bulbs are the whitest you'll find. But any halogen in the 6000K light range will be much whiter than the stock halogens.
Again, welcome and enjoy your new baby!
