What to do next
Well I can't figure out what to do next to my car. I have a lot of DSV Customs interior but still want to do seats. I also want to get Andrew6 with thedoubleaa.com to install a red HUD and his new light up cup holders. The cupholders and HUDS are for sure. I am just trying to figure out what to do after. I can't decide on what kind of wheels I want. I am low budget so I am thinking deep dish z06 style or zr1 style. Should I do anymore DSV stuff or just work on the outside?

You know as well as I do that there's always another mod. Personally I was in the same spot. I chose to work on the exterior as it has nothing more than a body color Z06 spoiler and Corsa exhaust that really look nice. I'm doing a carbon fiber splitter, halo, skirts, and rear spoiler. It'll be about $3500, but will completely change the look of the car and vastly improve high speed stability. Low budget doesn't mean you have to sacrifice quality (as you know by going with DSVETTES). It just means you can't buy things sporadically. I'm forcing myself to take my time and research the hell out of each piece, but the money is burning a hole in my pocket.

Personally, I'd do something under the hood (and not ornamental stuff). 
No matter if you're into show or go there are lots of options. I'm sure you'll get some good ideas from forum members. Good luck!

I'd remove those visor decals and get some quality seat covers, either DSV or leatherseats.com. Outside, some wheels would really set it off. And maybe a ZR1 spoiler in body color or CF if you do the CF roof/halo.
Be careful not to go overboard with mods. These cars can look overdone easily because so many things are available.

The only things I have done under the hood are vararam, american racing headers, tune, and cow booster. I really want some wheels but can't justify the price. And the fact I dont have 4000 for a set. How much are the ccw's? Should I go black, chrome, or black and chrome, or a dark grey?

If you go with the black or carbon fibre halo and roof then a set of black cray manta's would look good or even the HRE's. I am actually thinking about some black spiders on mine with the yellow pin striping.
