Any suggestions on what color to powder coat the calipers with a silver car?

What about the headlights... What options do we have? I love the C6 lights.

Also been toying with the idea of picking up a set of polished c6 wheels.

I've seen a few vettes with the corvette on the back (on the rearend) a different color... Looks great on the cars I've seen but I have no clue what would look good with silver.

Shares some ideas, or even better pics for appearance mods?

Those are 'real' stripes right?
I like! Black stripes look good on silver!

As you can see by all the love shared. You can dress-up your ride many ways, it all depends on you and making it reflect your style.
