Was looking real good till you got to your wheels. If you want to have a sleeper keep the wheels and tires stock like. A set of 16" steel wheels and some 225/55R16s or similiar will go a long way to maintaining the "he'll never take me look" while maintaining decent grip. Might even be lighter than those 18" wheels. Or a set of GM factory 16" aluminium mags, lots of stuff came with 16" wheels over the years.

My favourite sleeper was a buddy's satilitte sedan. Had a worked over 413 pushing a 3.90 rear thru a 4sp. Had better than 400hp at the rear wheels and would take just about anything on the street while still looking like something grandma drove.
