Post Cosmetic Mod Suggestions?

Looking for ideas on what cosmetic mods to add to my daily driver 2016 SS next. I’m going for mods that look OEM; not trying to turn it into a ricer. I’m also open to arguments against what I have planned.

Here’s what I have planned so far:
-Vinyl wrap the mirrors, handles, antenna, and the DRL “chrome” in gloss black.
-Add silver PowerStop Z26 drilled/slotted rotors
-Add gloss black ZL1 1LE wing from C7 Carbon
-Add gloss black rear diffuser from C7 carbon
-Add smoked out rear diffuser reflectors
-Add my white Nürburgring decal to driver side rear window

-Change the fender badge (can’t decide between removing entirely or replacing with some variation of the blacked out emblem or Camaro word w/ emblem).

Maybe:
-Add SEMA grill with yellow body color insert
-Add LED headlights from Spyder Apex Series (sequential turn signal)
-Add 3rd brake light vinyl decal “Camaro”…maybe not
-Add rear and side window louver in gloss black…jk

Notes:
-I’m not changing wheels or calipers because I just had the OEM rims powder coated. The calipers just got painted too.

-Car has 5% tint on all sides except 35% in front
-Ceramic coating is applied on everything
-Rear taillights are aftermarket and have sequential turn signals
-Don’t really care about interior or engine bay cosmetics

You already have extensive mods and your car looks pretty good Two small things I can think of is covering the strange chrome strip below the DRLs using this: https://screamingchicken.com/2016-18...ss-chrome-wrap, plus the gray OEM SS badges front and rear that the 50th anniversary edition came with in 2017, part numbers are 84005847 (rear) and 23345205 (front).

One more, actually: the heritage fender badge in black would look pretty good against your yellow paint; part number is 84152028.

If it where me... I would not do any of the stuff you said, and I would spend the money on a good looking set of wider wheels and tires. car looks good as is imo, only thing i would change are the wheels. I really like APEX's VS-5RS in satin silver. or Velgens VFmp10's in silver. I'm not a huge fan of black wheels if you can't tell by the wheels I listed. I really like how silver stands out from all the black accents. One of my best friends had a yellow mustang with silver wheels and everyone he ever talked to said they loved it.

But at the end of the day, its your car. do what you like.

Yeah I have that product for the DRL strips already haha; thanks for the part numbers! I’ve been leaning towards that heritage fender badge and I might just do the SS swaps too

You might want to consider getting a gloss black antenna cover instead of wrapping yours. I had issues with the wrap coming off the "shark fin" on my 2016 RS when I did the hood, spoiler, and fender badge.

I got rid of the fender badge (chiclet) on both of my sixth gens and I prefer the cleaner look without it. Seems like you'll have enough other details to draw attention if you ditch the fender badge.
