Your car looks great as is. I wouldn't do any paint work.

If you absolutely have to mod, I would think an aftermarket hood and Z06 front bumper would compliment it very nicely.

I spent hours in high school drawing cars with flames on them. I love flames on hot rods, but I'm not too sure about the C6 with flames.
I think I would just leave it a solid color.

I always thought these stripes looked good and unique.

Good advice LJ. Just looking to see if there's a look I "have to have". Also thinking of changing the nose and adding the sides.

I do like that! Wonder what color on yellow though. Red? Black?

Red + Yellow = McD's
I'd suggest maybe a black or a black fading into a cyber grey.

Flames and stripes aren't for me but there used to be a really wild 'flamed' C6 on the forum. It was a quality paint job! Here's the only image I could find:

Not to say that all of the C6's with flames or stripes look bad... But to the OP.. your car looks awesome the way it is.. Don't mess it up by stripes or flames because unless they are done right it will look awful. C6's look better with solid paint color. I think most flames on newer cars make them look kinda cheap. Leave the flames on hot rods, and spend that money on something else :-) Just my honest opinion, I know a lot of ppl will disagree. Good luck on whatever you decide.
