Default Reputable Corvette Mechanic in Delaware?

Hey guys,
I'm about to start ordering parts to upgrade my brakes to new pads,crossdrilled/slotted rotors and powdercoated calipers. Does anyone know a good mechanic in or close to Delaware that could do this? Thanks so much for your help.

Simple job to DIY. I just did this job myself last winter, powder coated, Hawk pads, Drilled rotors. I've got a lift in my garage and would be happy to lend you a hand. Just let me know. As long as it's not raining so I can move mine outside.

x2, the hardest part is getting the vette high enough to get lift arms under it

Skip the fancy rotors and just by some nice flat ones with no holes. Just for looks and takes longer to stop, less friction surface.

I'm happy with my drilled rotors, They just look so I did not opt for the slots.
