Default Silver C6s?

Just got a 2011 Blade Silver 1LT a few weeks back while I was on leave. Shes just how I wanted her with the 6 spd manual and the only option being the NPP exhaust.
Anyone else have a silver C6? Im trying to get some ideas as for what looks good with this color-like rims, front splitter, hoods etc

Get the clear side marker lights...it makes them blend into the car.

I like the stock look myself but a little rear spoiler is nice....

If you do a search there is a very long thread with tons of pics of Silver C6's. Heres mine to get you started. I kept it simple with just a couple exterior mods. Tint, Z06(frt) brakes, CCW wheels with Z06 tires.

So far i have installed carbon fiber spoiler, tints, glass top, black halo, vossen vvs087 rims 19-20, and black out kit, and silver door handles. Black out kit and handles not pictured here but you get theidea. Im very happy wih the overall look so far.

On my Machine Silver ’08 I added TSW Nurburgring Rotary Forged wheels (lighter than OEM) in matte gunmetal. They are ½” wider than OEM too.
