This is one hack that transforms the C6 look to sinister. Image Credit: C6 Corvette Nation
When I came across a clever C6 modification on a popular Corvette-dedicated Facebook page the other day, I couldn’t resist sharing it with you, our faithful CorvSport audience–it’s our number one hack! And after seeing the creativity, it got me thinking about other relatively cheap hacks that make our Corvettes look or sound better. One exhaust hack in particular, developed by yours truly, created some community buzz (and heckling) when I featured it in my first-time C5 owners guide, so sit back and enjoy.

It’s possible some of these hacks may have you laughing, either with me or at me, and I’m fine with either scenario. Today’s hacks focus on the C5 and C6 Corvettes; if you can think of others, please reach out to us at CorvSport. Now, without further ado, let’s jump in!
Five Hacks/Cheap Mods To Make Your C5 & C6 Corvette Look And Sound Better
#5
Blacked Out Halo & Roof
This is just one example you can find on one of the most popular Corvette Forums. In this case, Corvette Forum member “detaildude” had the roof and halo wrapped in 3M 2080 high gloss black. I’ve included his forum discussion and another that may be helpful below the pictures.
While I can’t take credit for this one, as I saw it nearly two decades ago on the Corvette forum, it’s one of my favorite tricks that I’ve used on at least two of my C5s over time. And yes, I know, it probably doesn’t add many ponies, if any, to that glorious LS engine. However, it’s a cheap hack and certainly looks like it’s breathing easier!
