Nice. I did similar mods to my 2017 Z51 (2LT, M7, transparent roof). But I'm done, I don't think I want anything further. Thought about lowering the car, but decided not to for a couple of reasons, I like having a car that never bottoms out (the C6 did once a week).

My mods:

• Carbon flash badges all around
• Z06 grill and cameras
• Semi-blacked out tail light lenses (darker center inserts)
• Carbon Fiber license plate frame
• Black exhaust tips (stock exhaust, did it myself, Rustoleum High Temp Auto primer and flat black paint, masking tape, crawling under the car for an afternoon swearing)
• Carbon Fiber dash
• Bin Buddy
• Blendmount radar detector mount (I tried every alternative, just go Blendmount)
* ProClip USA mount for my iPhone (goes on the oh **** handle, perfect positioning)
* Block It sound insulation (plug n play, really worked to mitigate the awful tire noise reverberating through the cargo area of my C7)
• Larger rear cargo net (Amazon $13), Drive auto organizer (Amazon, <$24 shipped with tax)

Very happy with how it all turned out.

I hate to admit it, but I still use this cheesy but effective auxiliary cup holder from my C6, it fits fine on the C7, holds drinks and I don't have to look at it while I'm driving, I jam it up under the seam on the passenger side of the trans tunnel.

The stock cupholders in the car are virtually useless.

love your car and I love the carbon fiber dash that will be going in for sure when I start on the interior. I want the suede flat bottom wheel and shifter also.
