Only thing that comes to mind is the little air freshener tree for the rear view. But I don't think they are C6-specific. Got one that fits my Vega.

Appearance mods would include wheels, tires, rear spoiler, eagle eye rear light replacements, painted calipers for a few suggestions. As far as performance mods go, that's a completely different animal!

Since you are not into performance mods and like a stock look,
*Lloyds floor mats
*padded center console lid
*cabin/trunk divider
*polished alternator cover
*polished fuse box cover
*paint your stock rear spoiler to match car color

I recommend none.
You might get a cargo divider. New Shocks and tries, brakes, wax, fluids- only when needed.
I carry a patch kit and air compressor.

Maybe he just wants to know what modifications are common because he wants to know what to look for on used cars? Maybe he wants to know what is original and what is messed with?
No offense intended to any of the professionals on this forum, but some car salesmen don't have a clue what they are selling, and others just plain lie when convenient. And some mods are well executed, and some are Bubba-ed.
Always pays to be a smart buyer.

Most common mods are probably mesh screens for the side vents, chrome grille inserts up front, chrome or color matched overlays on the taillights. Maybe some engine dress up stuff, or the cupholder buddy thing.
That's what it seems like every Corvette I see has, especially at car shows.

It depends on WHAT YOU want.
I have a 2005 and my goal was a very stock looking car in appearance, with a bit of custom look:

Just got my first vette about 8 months ago. Didn't go nuts with buying everything in sight !! So many vettes I see are loaded with chrome nic knacks and things that say corvette on them it's kind of funny. Anyway some of the things I did that I really like are as follows, bright fog lights, interior LEDs, with red accent in footwell ( car is victory red ), painter corvette on passenger side dash, bright reverse bulbs, also replaced marker and taillight bulbs with new regular bulbs, corvette seatbelt pads that are nice for long drives and a baby stroller bag that I used behind the back seat for extra storage!! Here are a few pics.

I wouldn't consider Headers and a tune crazy performance more like letting the bald eagles out and waking up the corvette.
I'm not sure what the main purpose of the question is
Find a car that has the look/performance you want.
