That's the killer setup there. A good mix of chrome and black will make a silver vette look sharp. Tinted windows are a must.
Silver C5 appearance modification ideas?

If I had a Silver C5, I'd probably go with the black accent root. Black always went good with silver, imo. Black out kit, black painted lower rear fascia, and black lettering. BTW, lower the car, if it hasn't already. That makes any car look better 
You like the C6 headlights? Well, a direct C6 to C5 conversion is uber expensive, but TheRadioFlyer has SEVERAL headlight options for you, I think he just came out with a new non-popup headlight kit, looked good to me.

I have tail light seals (bulged a little because I like them that way), exhaust plate. I now have the Azure diamond cut backup lights & frame with LED tower bulbs (not pictured).
For silver and gray cars, I like the black polyurathane letters:

IMO silver is probably one of the most versatile colors out there. Chrome or polished mods work well as does a black (flat or glossy). Tastefully done red accents are real eye catchers also. The calibers done in black (like mine) look great, but really don't pop out at you. Red calibers on the other hand really catch your eye. That also goes for your interior and engine bay. Here's a few PICS of mine.
