2016 C6 of the Year Finalist
What did you do to your C6 this weekend?
I fixed the infamous seat sag issue. It was bad after only 16,000 miles. I think previous owner did not enter and exit correctly. The lower seat side bolster was smashed...
I added foam support and covered some of it with some heavy duty jute. Also covered that sharp edge on the seat frame with some 200 mph gray duct tape.

Racer
I bit the bullet and installed a front license bracket; my new state, Oregon, requires a front plate.
I purchased the cheap $50 bracket that came with Velcro and four screws. We are still unpacking and I cannot find my SanDisk to download camera pics.......otherwise I would post pics and ask for opinions. This took a lot of nerve; drilling holes in my Vette was not an easy decision.

Drifting
Drove it hard for about 4 hours and put it away wet. Boost is addictive.

Just washed and waxed it this morning. Rainy day so no fun run today.
I have already done all of the above except taillight louvers.
In fact my seat rebuild like OP lasted just a few years before I replaced the foam with a upgraded foam seat bottom.
Going to detail the eng bay next.

I went to the track thursday, washed it friday after the track. Went to a little car get together friday night. Went for a small cruise last night. Thursday was the most fun we had with it, track was a good time.

When I bought the car stock, I had a lot of plans for it. It took me over a year to get the car right where I wanted it, and I finally accomplished it. I can't tell you how much I love my GS. I just enjoy driving it now, with knowledge there is plenty of power under the hood. C6 vettes are by far the best!!!
