Aftermarket
Here's a fun question:
How long before the aftermarket companies start churning out C7 parts? With a dealer installed Z51 spoiler coming in at a grand, I see a real opportunity for anyone ready to put out good quality aftermarket mods...
Anyway, I say we will start seeing non OEM mods within 6 months of the cars hitting the showrooms...

I'll be at SEMA in a few months and I guarantee, there will be a ton of aftermarket parts for sale very soon.

Okay, jokes aside, what are the aftermarket things you are REALLY looking forward to?
Big stuff like body kits down to tiny things like custom radar detector mounts.

I'm thinking I might like to replace the Corvette lettering on the rear with STINGRAY.

That's actually kind of cool. ^
Not typically something I'd consider, but I could grow to like it.

Electronic curb sensors, so I don't mash an air dam on a wheel stop etc, and that I can get the tail end as far from traffic as possible.

I'm looking forward to a carbon strip to cover the chrome in the grille and carbon air dam like the Hennessey rendering. Maybe a few small raw carbon interior parts to blend in and Lloyds mats will do it for the short haul.
