I know it's extremely early, but anyone already planning some mods?

Just looking at pictures I can see lots of opportunities for personalizing, or modding as we like to call it. A few I would like to see.
1) paint stripes along the sharp lines of the hood...lots of possibilities there. Could also carry up over the roof panel...
2) alternate exhaust tip shapes
3) of course, many wheel alternatives, but one that has always intrigued me was the bronze finish from HRE...would be cool with a Cyber Gray exterior and that brownish interior..(forgot the name, but you get the idea)
4) this one is major...reversing the tail lights....seems to me the bottom point should be inboard instead of outboard to flow better with the emblem and the rear bumper shape.
5) wider tires (is this even a mod?...seems mandatory!)
As a lifetime 'modder' who can't leave a car alone, I would like to hear your ideas as well...

For me it would be simply getting rid of the silly stingray emblems and probably the Corvette off the rear along with some paint work on that rear valance panel with more of it going body color. Of course I'm waiting to see what the Z version has in store anyways, so all those issues may end up being fixed on that model anyway.

Body color the vents in the hood, the vents by the tail lights, and maybe the rear bumpers.
I wish they had a carbon fiber option for the steering wheel. Maybe someone in the aftermarket will do it.

Chrome louvers over the taillights.

I'm surprised, no one mentioned the chrome strip on the front grill. Maybe it looks better in person? I'm hoping the Corvette lettering on the rear is eventually relocated, I like the script and placement on the C6.
