My '88 TII...opinions? suggestions?
Yeah, I know it's stock.
Comments and Suggestions more than welcome.
I haven't taken any pics of the car since I've had it so I figured I might as well since it was nice outside today.

dual exhaust cat-back = expensive...i had a greddy Power extreme muffler laying around and it was a 2.5" so i figured "what the hell"
as far as suspension goes...im still juggling options as far as what im gonna go with

its an S5 but it has the s4 style logicon (the "head" and the "boot" style vent controls)...

Hell i just got some glasspacks stuck on there and it had the deeper sound which I like. And it does ride alittle high. Something about that front bumper that sticks out on the first picture.
Lookin' good man. I like the style of the pics. 
If your TII was mine, I'd start by removing the red pin-stripe and 'Turbo II' sticker by using a heat-gun or blow-dryer. Use some 'speed-shine' and/or 3M adhesive remover if need be, after the stripe's gone. Next I would 'black out' the mouth, like this:
The vertical slats 'pop off', so you can pull those off and paint them. The horizontal cross-peice can either be painted (the edges are difficult due to the curve) or I suggest coating it carefully in electrical tape. One, because it has a 'flat' look and two because it won't chip.
Third, I would use VHT Niteshade on all the lenses. (black, of course).
I would also use a silver (or factory color-matched) paint to touch up behind the wheel-wells etc.
All of these things are relatively subtle and very cheap, but all (IMO) serve to clean up the exterior nicely.
If you have money, the first thing I would do if I were you would be to buy a good suspension setup and a front-lip.
