There is a forum member that has full body stripes that are on a red convertible. I think it's one of the best looking c6's out there. I wish I could remember his Member name.
Anyway as a suggestion, here are some similar pics. The best thing is you don't like it you can always remove it.
killain...I love the two tone seats. My first C6 was a base 2008 with 3LT, and the driver seat was tearing, so I had a fella put two-tone in, and it changed the entire appearance of the car. Take your time with mods. Lots of people spend $$ early on mods, then realize they did not want some of them...they wind up on "Corvette parts for sale", which you can view in our forum. If you have money to burn, that is not an issue, but if not, reach out to folks to find out how some mods can be identical in appearance, without spending 5-20 times the money.

Good luck at giving your car some "distinction".

Yeah, The previous owner keep it garaged, and in the shade, he didn't do anything to it, bone stock, but he took pretty good care of it. As soon as I had finished the test ride, I decided it was the one for me. I've spent a little on proposed mods, if I get to them, I'll see how I feel about them as I get to them. The first thing once the weather warms a little, is painting the brake calipers, I bought a painting kit, and tail light seals and upgraded lights. That'll be it till I do the most important item, Diving this Corvette as much as I can. I don't think it's had a good long run in quite awhile, gas is stale.
I'm never going to make a garage queen out of this one !
In my humble opinion the best place to start is the hood liner. Lots of different options and most add a lot of bling at a small cost.
I had mine airbrushed. I just put an ad on Facebook asking if anyone with mediocre airbrush skills wanted a small job. I figured if I wasn't happy I'd just spray it black and try again. I found a local guy who did this for $150. I was more then happy with the end result.

I'm not picking on Ed but as far as the Black one goes if you want to look like a Viper...buy a Viper.
Well I have to admit, your right. But I was so invested in getting it done to my picky standards, I just soldiered on and got it done. It will look ( I think ) sharp once installed. I need to get a new battery but that is a battle in it's own right. My vette is Base convertible with the 3LT package, it's got cashmere, tow tone interior. I bought the car in October 30, had the HB changed and some other maintenance work done, but it's been in the garage since then, I'm getting cabin fever with the corona virus and planning on the mods I have decided on. On my 2003 ( which I really enjoyed, and regret selling badly ) the C5 battery cover was a simple plastic cover that took a second to put on or remove. Really miss the 2003 coupe.
But the current C6 is nicely optioned, and it only has 21K miles on it. The only thing it needs is a good long run on the interstate.

Looks like a real good catch there. Since you said the gas is stale if I were you I’d add a bottle of Techron concentrate to the tanks and run it nearly dry, fill up and add another bottle of the same and nearly run that dry,
fill up and then change the oil as soon after as you can.
How's the fit and finish of this spoiler? How does it fit around the third brake light? Does it look factory?
Fit and finish is great, so was the color match. As I mentioned I've now done 6 of these for friends and family and everyone was very happy. The fit around the brakelight is tight all the way around with no gaps. The spoiler actually attaches with 4 bolts (and not 2 as noted in some of their ads).
I just took these 3 pictures to try and give you a better idea. Understand the pictures are not great as they were in a dingy garage on a snowy day.
Bottom line is you will not be disappointed if you buy this spoiler. Hope that helps.

Thanks so much for the photo's. Looks like a factory part. Think I'll order one soon.
Paint the wheel barrels gloss black. (It really offsets the chrome wheels.)
Change the wheels.
Paint the calipers red.
More expensive but dye or add a black roof.
Add a simple spoiler.

Looks good Iceaxe, I also noticed you have the tail light seals ✔

The simple solution is to park your 2007 Vette next to any year SUV, 4-door sedan, econ-o-box, or pickup truck. It'll quit looking plain in mere seconds.
BTW, removing the "door handles" results in a cleaner look than painting them. More aerodynamic too.
I would not do a thing,especially for resale value. Remember when you customize your idea of what is nice may not be someone else’s . Look at some the classic models stock ones always sell quick and for top dollar. Your car is mint low miles someone looking for Lemans Blue c6 Vert would jump on it. Black things out add flares it would not be the way it came out of the showroom. By the way not a fan of black wheels they always look like they were never cleaned. Chromes ones pop when they are in motion. If you change them keep them GM. Car is beautiful as is.

You need to step into the 21st century of performance vehicles.
Designer Imagines A Corvette That Looks More Like a Corvette Than the Corvette
Slideshow: A Jaguar designer's personal project imagines what a modern front-engined Corvette might look like if Chevrolet revisited the golden age of the Stingray.
