Default Mods to do while under warranty?

What are some great mods for the c6z that won't void an aftermarket warranty?

Obviously, I know this will exclude tuning the car and headers/etc..

So far I've done:
-new nto5's
-20% tint
-full length spoiler (not yet installed)

Thinking of doing the m2w switch next and an MGW shifter. Will probably lower the car and have a performance shop align it as well.

What about little interior mods?
Anything else that im missing?

I just installed all new lights from CorvetteMods. I put in HID fogs, LED switchbacks for the turns/ DRL, and replaced all of the interior and side marker lights with LEDs. I think it was about $250 for all of that and well worth it IMO.

catback and intake won't void warranty-Just don't tune it. You can also upgrade the seats/stereo/nav etc.

I really would love a catback but I cant justify spending 1200+ for no power or performance upgrade. They sound so good though! Im torn. Maybe ill just keep my eyes peeled for a good deal on the forum

Not at all. The stock fogs are crappy halogen and not HID like the headlights. I replaced the fogs to match. The headlights are fine. The switchbacks are just cool because they are white until you turn on the turn signal. The rest are LED lights inside the vehicle which are brighter and white as opposed to yellowish.

No need to pull the fuse - just buy a DashLogic and get gauges, performance timers, and muffler control with the mirror switch. That's what I'm doing in my car.
