We're already big fans of the Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport revival (check out our test of the new 2010 Grand Sport here) -- a Vette with Z06 chops and cool exterior enhancements for not much more cash than a base coupe. Now the Grand Sport will be getting even grander in 2010 thanks to an expanded lineup of parts and accessories GM announced for the vehicle at the 2009 SEMA show.

The SEMA Grand Sport, a Heritage Package convertible model sprayed in a new Cyber Grey color, dons a host of aesthetic enhancements that GM will offer for the car next year, including some ZR1-style body enhancements and other minor detail updates. GM says to expect the accessories to become available early next year. Here's the complete lineup of Grand Sport upgrades that will eventually become available:

  • Mesh inserts for the front fender vents
  • ZR1-style front splitter and rear spoiler (painted satin black)
  • ZR1-style rocker extensions and wheel spats (painted satin black)
  • Body-color door handles and license plate frame
  • Tinted dark chrome fender badges
  • "Tech" pattern engine cover with red lettering inserts
  • Grand Sport-logo hood blanket
  • Grand Sport-logo floor mats and leather console cover
  • Red stitched shifter knob/boot and red parking brake boot
  • "Tech" pattern interior trim kit
  • PAL iPod connector
  • Convertible wind screen
  • Racing-style pedal covers
  • Interior storage pouches
