If the resale value of your car and potential future buyers are your main concern... you should drive a Toyota Camry.

Personally, I think the shape of the C4 is kind of odd. it doesn't go with with aftermarket additions 99% of the time.
The one exception is I do think there are some good looking cowl hoods, otherwise hell no.

I really don't care for ground effects but your vette just looks tuff as hell! Its your car do it to it if it makes you happy.

I personally can't stand them. Changes the identity of the vette. But like everyone has said, it's your car and you're free to do what you like.

If you match them with ambient lighting , of course they're acceptable.

I usually don't like the seam that body kits create. They tend to add a bulky look to a sleek car.

I'll be an echo to what has already been said 10 times:
1. It's your car, and a free country. Do whatever you decide to do and ignore those who don't like it.
2. Since you asked for opinions, here's mine. I don't like them. To me there is no need to alter or customize a Vette's looks. They look fine to me the way GM made them and I feel no need to change that. A couple years ago I was thinking of picking up a second Vette for the wife to drive. There was a decent Quasar Blue one for sale but what killed the deal for me was it had the ground effects, spoiler and such stuff added. I didn't feel like removing them and having to fill holes so I passed on it.
