Well crap!
I told myself when I bought the GS that I wouldn't do any mods AT ALL to it as that is what the C6 is for. Well, I just messed that up. Picked up a set of the stage2 spoiler wickers to replace the stage1 pieces that came on the car. Also blacked out the corner markers and rear reflectors.

Might want to be careful changing aero bits.
The "stages" designed by GM are parts meant to work in tandem with each other (think of it as a system).
For example, the particular wings are meant to work with particular splitters, diffusers, etc.
By mixing parts, you could upset the balance of the car (not something desirable to achieve best performance out of the car).

Now you've done it - you've got C7 mod fever. 
Honestly, the mods and the car look great.

I used 5% window tint film.
plan is to add the entire stage3 areo package.

Personally, I couldn't care less about what you do with your car. Keep in mind, though, that with 5% film over the marker lights they're nowhere near sufficiently visible. If the car is involved in a side impact accident at night your level of liability will go up significantly because the lights aren't in compliance.

Looking good, and as you stated "Well Crap" the question is what next now that you have the mod fever again.

I'm not laughing at you, just laughing with you as I told myself the same thing.

^^^ By using window tint, the running lights are still fully visible the factory colors when lights are on, especially with the LED brightness.

Here's why you mod the side markers....
That's a LOT better than the 2 LED's that are OEM.

OP,
With a wide body, and a more pronounced spoiler, you HAVE to lower the car. This is required and you have no voice in the matter.
