I'm not a fan of stripes, but wheels, Z06 screens in the fog lights, SS lettering, tint if you like.
A quality polishing will do wonders for most cars, the word quality being key.
Enjoy winter.

A set of stripes from forum member Mike76002 would be a good start. Some mesh screens in the cove opening and the fog light recesses are good. Depending on your budget, a Motor City Mold hood and Vette Essentials interior are popular upgrades.

I can make any set of stripes I want, I work at a sign shop, so vinyl is aplenty and onhand.

Very nice choice
Here is the direction I went with my '02 EB coupe....
when I first bought it:
currently:
I don't have any new pics yet since I added the front plate letters and z06 front screens. I need to take some new ones.

Lowering is easy and makes a nice visual impression. I had to get rid of those egg yolk corners. Then i went clear crazy all the way around.
If I started over again, I would have done my "go" mods before my "show" mods. Can't see wheels, calipers, etc when I'm driving; but I can damn sure feel the extra 125 to the rear wheels when it hits
Most of all, do what makes YOU happy.
Enjoy your Vette. EB is an amazing color (guess how I know?
)
