I do the usual bolt ons that can be removed if I decide to sell (exhaust, intake, TB, headers, maybe a shifter, etc) and then lower it and do the usual visuals. Nothing crazy, but I like to make it mine a little.

Are you interested in audio mods? Most of mine are invisible but the difference in sound is amazing.
may I ask what sound mods you have done? I have a 3lt with I’m guessing the upgraded Bose speakers but the sound coming out of them is just sorry compared to the Bose in my Infiniti. I’m not a huge sound guy but I do enjoy listening to my music in the car at good quality levels. I would like to have that same level as my Infiniti which is pretty fricken awesome for a little suv.

I’m a “stock” guy myself, especially with a car like the C7Z. What’s the point of spending money to make a car that is already beyond my driving capabilities even faster?
Now if I ever get to the point where I feel I have tamed this beast, I might change my mind.
Mods can be performance, function, appearance, or simply preference oriented.
let’s face it the Bose in the C7 did not get a lot of attention
I can’t complain about the Bose stereo system! To me, it sounds great, but then my hearing sucks! Hearing aids in both ears and only 20% hearing in one of my ears. So, I’m very happy that I can hear the music! 😄
I desperately wanted to modify my C7 until my recent purchase of my C6Z. Now, the C7 remains stock while I’m planning to upgrade performance, function, and appearance of the Z06
My C7 will remain fairly stock. It's a great daily. I LS swapped and did a body on restoration on my C3.. The C3 is in a continuous state of being modified lol..
Told the Mrs...Car needs nothing.Isn't it beautiful?Showed her photo's.
At 84k sticker it better not need anything!
Being on the Forum looking at all the GOODIES.The Stock wasn't Enough.
Corvette...It's not what you Need,It's what you Want
Stock lasted till the first oil change
Mats were a good start.Then Cheapo side marker tint.Then tinted tail-lite covers.Who doesn't add a license plate frame?
Then you read about the JAKE!
RUT,ROH The symbol for Corvette Racing.Can't have one JAKE.Gotta have many JAKE'S.Even mini jake valve stem caps,floor mats,dash emblem,Sandiego Jake switch cover,hubcaps,stinger purchase no install yet and don't forget,drink holders to match.
Car just ain't loud enough.X-pipe.Stage 1 Aero looks unfinished.Especially the 3/4 skirts.
Then the GM YOU HAVE TO MOD.Replacement wheels.Thanks GM
Yup,There still smiling cause they are Still Winning the BS Warranty LIE
Wanna play gotta pay.Forgeline is fine.
Lowered with rear toe links a must.
Enjoy it how ever and when ever you can
Cause at a Blink Of A Eye life could be over.
If you’re asking me, I’m quite pleased with the Bose advanced sound in my C7.
Agreed, though it needs to be cranked to properly shine IMO. Doesn't seem to blend the frequencies and such properly at lower volumes.
I've put custom stereos in every other car I've owned, and this is the first that doesn't need it for my preference.
Not sure what the base audio package sounds like though.
Otherwise, have ARH mid length headers on the way and a catless x-pipe awaiting their arrival.
Current mods are MGW shifter, triple disc Monster Clutch, and aluminum release bearing support for the new slave (got the car with 20k miles and it already had issues...may supercharge in the future).
This is the first new Corvette we have ever bought and it is the first we did not feel the need to modify. The only "mods" we have done to our `19 GS is XPEL Ultimate (full front, A pillars, rockers, side skirts, brake ducts & rear triangle) and an after-market front license bracket that stays in the trunk!
I like to personalize my Corvettes. Some call it modifying, however I personalize each car to my taste as I plan to keep them and drive them and really don't care about resale value or keeping the miles low for the next guy. I think we have all heard the joke comparing Corvettes and girl friends....
Anyway, most of my mods are cosmetic with the only performance mods being exhaust systems and CAIs. For my 2019 C7Z, I didn't need much beyond the factory Z07 option, Jake CAI, and Comp Seats. I added Forgeline wheels, however I'm a known "wheel snob" and usually prefer aftermarket options both from a performance and looks perspective as well as a custom Shark Gray full C&R-inspired body stripe.
My C5 required more extensive modifications as it's a 2004 that I purchased new and automotive technology regarding lighting, interior trim levels, etc. have really advanced since 1997 at the beginning of the C5 run.
On my '14 Z51 torch red, conv., 1LT, 7MT I have done the following "performance" related mods (well, mostly had them done); aFe CAI, Z06 grill with brake ducts connected, Corsa Exhaust, MGW shifter and brake pads (don't recall brand). On the cosmetic side you have; Lloyd Floor Mats, black vanes added to the rear valence, GS front splitter and side skirts (cheapest factory, plastic), new D shaped carbon/leather steering wheel, a few red trim pieces (starter button and climate control trim in red), that small shelf divider behind the radio, some very cool but not cheap LED lighted skid plates (says "Stingray") and an aluminum oil cap.
Sorry, no pictures but it's the limit of; my funds, my (lack of) mechanical skills and my "taste". And I believe I have reached the limit of such short of winning the lottery.

Please refer to this page for the complete install. The whole thread is lengthy but a great read for anyone interested in performing an audio upgrade. I highly recommend reading all of my posts plus those by JMII, among others. Note that I originally attempted to install the Pioneer woofers recommended by the OP, but when those did not work out, I went with the Audio Legions and a fabricated mount. I will post a few pictures below, but most of the images will be found in the linked thread.

I always have to make my cars my own, but usually nothing too drastic. Really depends on how rare the care is. There are a lot of corvettes around, so I think some subtle changes are a necessity for me.
