Depends what you mean by "liven up".
I'd start with a good cleaning. Remove the seats and vacuum it really well. Use some sort of stain remover (I like Tuff Stuff) on seats and carpet as needed. Clean plastic pieces with Armor All or similar product. Clean the vents and other hard to reach areas with a small paintbrush. Then, you can paint your interior pieces if desired. RamAirZ did his silver I think, doesn't look too bad. Try a search, you should be able to find techniques and pictures.
Also, if you want, you add white faced gauge overlays. You can buy them or make your own like I did. I also painted my needles red. My templates are on my webpage. un4given89 also has a bunch of templates on his site
Hope this helps, good luck!

Well I noticed you have an RS also. I had a peice of crap camaro badge on my passanger side dash. And if you know the Z28 ans Irocs's have a reall cool badge so I got a rear bumber RS badge (in red to match my interior) and replaced the crappy one.
Cost a few bucks at the GM parts counter.
