C6 Color matched Spoiler and Door Handles
When the C6 Corvettes were made, they all came with black door handles. The Z06 and Grand Sport also had black spoilers on them. Later, GM decided to make Color matched spoilers and door handles. They are a nice upgrade to the car, and pretty affordable as well. You can get the two door handles for under $70, and the Spoiler for about the same price. Installation is quite easy. This Video shows how to install them in an hour or less for all of them.

NPP Exhaust Enhancement for C6 Grand Sport and Z06
Found this nifty little device to add to a C6 Grandsport or Z06 with NPP exhaust. NPP is a baffle in the muffler that opens under certain loads to open up the exhaust, similar to cut outs. This little Mild to Wild device allows you to control when this opens via a remote control It simply replaces the fuse with their inline fuse, and a ground. Easy 5 minute installation - allows you to go straight exhaust at your one personal timing. I bought one for $70 through Amazon, but have seen them lower priced and higher at various locations.
Seat Belt Extenders
I feel embarassed when friends go for a ride in my C5 and struggle with the seat belt. It sits low, and is a real problem getting plugged in when you aren't used to it. I don't have an issue, because I've used it enough times, but other do. This is a handy extender to put on the passenger side to help others get buckled up safely. Starting at $20 from Seatbelt Extender Pros. They make them for all Corvettes all the way back to 1963, and in short stubby extenders like in the photo up to 15". Might be what you need to occassionally strap that carseat into the car as well
