Before my car even existed I bought a homelink visor, factory sat nav module, catch can and a Z06 "poverty splitter". It was a pile of stuff on the floor in my lower level. When people walked near it I told people to be careful not to step on the Corvette.

I'd have to consider things like the Z06 front grille, side skirts, Z06 style rear fender scoops, etc.

My 1st modification would be a set of side skirts (you select the vendor, there are many to choose from) to protect the rocker panels from rock chips. $450

My 2nd Mod would be the so-called proverty splitter. $110

My 3rd Mod would be window tint. $150

My 4th Mod would be a DIY or professional application of a nano ceramic paint coating. $125 DIY or $800 to $1000 professional detailer.

My 6th mod would be a set of Lloyds mats front $150

My 7th mod would be a rear cargo mat $150

My 8th mod would would be a sound deadening material (FatMat) $120

My 9th mod would be CF tape for blackening out the chrome strip $15.00

My 10th mod would be securing a car cover for covering the car in the garage when not in use $50 to $300
