I bet most C6 owners mod their cars, even if it's just with non-performance add-on accessories. Lots of them for under $200.
Knowing what I know now, in no special order, I would do these again:
Wheel alignment (free under warranty)
M2W ($90)
CTEK 3300 battery tender ($70)
Removable front license bracket, Top Flight Repro ($90)
Partition, Exotic Vette ($150)
Double buddy 2-cup holder ($40)
Cup holder car mount for Garmin GPS, Semsons ($15)
Seat towel, Southern Car Parts ($28)
Coverking indoor car cover CF group purchase ($160)
Door panel kick protector, clear plastic, Mid-America MW ($50)
Cargo cover, ebay
XM radio renewal ($77/year)
Zaino products
Expensive but worth it for me:
Clear Bra extended coverage (~$750)
Things I bought & used & worked well, but I no longer need:
GM bra ($100)
Mirror covers ($50)
Things that didn't work so well:
Various GPS mounts (~$50)
Seat padding experiments (~$50)
Things I bought & never used:
Cleartastic ($70)
NPP adjustable control kit ($25)
Clay bars
Biggest waste of time & money:
Trying to upgrade/replace seats for a reasonable price -- unless you're going racing, IMO the stockers are OK

Caravaggio wheel, or the short shifter. I think they are both great value and something you are engaging every time you drive.

A&A Si-trim supercharger kit for me. It was not cheap with the install (about $6700 total), but the difference has to be experienced. It is like a totally different car...and I already had 430 whp and 411 wtq with N/A mods.
Traction is a problem with S/C Vettes, so you'll need to also upgrade your tires.

MGW shifter. After decades of driving Corvettes, now I have a C6 that drives and feels like a Corvette should. 
And it was developed and is manufactured in the USA.

The Z51 sway bars on my F55 provided the best performance gain for the least amount of money.
The Corsa Exhaust and IPOD Input are the most enjoyable.
