Lower it on stock bolts = free
alignment = $80 or so
plasti dip rims ( black ) $40
black window tint $200 or so??
All of this is reversible if you no like. And will make a big difference in the cars attitude!!

Bought my '07 Machine Silver ten years ago and it was bone stock.
After an extensive list of mods:
-Tints
-Lowered on stock bolts
-Carbon fiber splitter
-Carbon fiber side skirts
-Carbon fiber ZR1 style spoiler
-Relocated hideaway license plate
-Straight piped exhaust
-Exhaust enhancer plate
-Tinted eagle eye LED tail lights
-Black badges
-LED interior lighting
-LED reverse lighting/license plate
-HID Fogs
-Race mesh front grille and side grilles
-Red brake caliper covers
-Z06 heads
-Stance SF03 Gloss Black rims 20" x 11 rear & 19" x 9.5 front
-Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires 285/35R20 & 245/40R19
This is the final result:
Looks a lot more aggressive now in my opinion.

Plastic Dip your rims, window tint and paint your calipers.....or buy a black Vette.... Those start out looking menacing.

Hey everyone I have a base C6 corvette convertible almost stock other than Borla axle-back exhaust and window tint. I want some ideas for great looking cosmetic mods that dont break the bank haha. Im going for an aggressive look and want a clean and mean looking C6. Any ideas for aggressive looking mods to change the look of my C6?
Any ideas welcome thank you!!!!
Any ideas welcome thank you!!!!

Sure do! There's so many options for parts and I had to do a ton of research to find the "right" ones. Check out the below links:
CF Kits is great for carbon fiber parts. The installation was easy and only took a couple of hours drilling holes and using a rivet gun. If you need detailed installation instructions, send me a PM and I will be more than happy to help you out.
Carbon Fiber Splitter:
http://www.cfkits.com/shop/carbon-fi...ront-splitter/
Carbon Fiber Side Skirts:
http://www.cfkits.com/shop/carbon-fi...rts-base-only/
Carbon Fiber Splitter/Side Skirts Package Deal (better to get this one):
http://www.cfkits.com/shop/carbon-fi...rts-base-only/
I bought my Carbon Fiber ZR1 Style spoiler off another website, but the one of CF Kits looks pretty similar (and it's cheaper than what I paid).

Exhaust enhancer plate (got this from RPI Designs - they also have other options for aftermarket exhaust systems so your tips fit within the plate curvatures):

Hideaway license plate (RPI Designs):
https://www.rpidesigns.com/shop/item.aspx?itemid=950
Racemesh side fender grilles (RPI Designs):
https://www.rpidesigns.com/shop/item.aspx?itemid=2182
Racemesh front grille (RPI Designs):
https://www.rpidesigns.com/shop/item.aspx?itemid=2174
Caliper Covers (RPI Designs):
https://www.rpidesigns.com/shop/item.aspx?itemid=1772
Eagle Eye Tinted LED Tail Lights (Vette-Lights) You can opt for no tint or tint:
https://www.vette-lights.com/product...ail-lights-set
As for the wheels and tires, I ordered through a local shop in Toronto, Ontario. You can find them on the Stance Wheels website link below:

Also, lowering the car on stock bolts is extremely easy (FREE) and it made a drastic difference in ride height for me. The car is actually "too low" now but it looks and handles a lot better.
Hope this helps!
