Default *Ideas wanted!!* - Base C6 Corvette

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!!!!

Lower it all the way down on the stock bolts; get an alignment afterward.

Front splitter, side skirts, full width rear spoiler would get you headed towards your aggressive look............. check for some topics here related to them, with relatively inexpensive components functioning just as well as more expensive versions...........

My best suggestion is to browse around the forum for awhile and you will find something that "speaks" to you. You will know what you like when you see it. Oh, nice car!

Definitely wheels! I just replaced the factory wheels on my GS with C7 Z wheels and it looks and feels like a whole new car.

What is "break the bank" to you? This term is very relative...
Define that and a list will be presented.

The other day on another thread here, someone posted a picture of a road sign. I have 3 PCs in the house and couldn't see it, but I was able to see it on my phone. Go figure!

I was looking at it using Chrome. I just opened the thread with IE and I still see only one picture in his post, but I now see the place holder (little x) for the other one, but it does not render.
Tried Firefox, same as Chrome.
Also, if I click on the photo that does show, it comes up like a slide show with arrows. When I click the arrow, it says "The image could not be loaded".

You're going to go WAY past that to go wide-body.
