Well, that all depends on what you want out of the car.

I think it's already fast enough, maybe different rims than the chrome ones on it already a new sound system? Tailights?

If I wasn't looking for horsepower, I'd be looking at the Alpine/Kenwood/Pioneer CD/DVD/Nav system. Awesome.

Or maybe talking to Vette essentials about doing my interior.

For taillights, go with the yello/red. I have those on my MY Coupe and they look great

Here are some common first mods: New wheels/tires, new cat back exhaust, paint calipers, new air intake (i.e., Blackwing, Stinger, etc), if 6 speed a CAGS bypass and column lock bypass, exhaust enhancement plate, perhaps some new interior pieces. The list can go on and on.

Seat covers with crushed velvet inserts....

IMHO-MODs are strictly a matter of personal choice...along with the previously mentioned items... you could dress up your engine bay....

Mods for Yellow Vert

Cheers to MYellow Vert's.
--
I have put about 3000.00 in mods on so far and have another 8000.00 on the list.
--
The mods I enjoy most are: Black out on the lights, Vette Net, Window Valet, GHL exhaust that is still in the box waiting for the weather to break in Chicago so I can have it installed.
--
I would also encourage you to attend the May Cruise In in Bolling Green KY, it is a blast!
Here is my vette last year at Bollomington Gold in IL. Was a great car show on the golf greens. Thousands of vette's.
