Went to the local dealer to pick up my new Z51 rotors. I still have the original spoked designed ones. I ordered new pads for black Friday, and I figured since I wanted the new rotors, anyway, I would start everything out fresh. I also plan on getting my wheels stripped from the horrible black factory paint, and gloss black powder coated, with a ceramic coating added for protection, and ease of cleaning. I'll post more updates as the rest of my parts come in. I ordered the front and rear rotors.
When I got my Grand Sport switched to ceramic pads day one! However found the cheap pads I bought needed to be warm to stop well and did not match the excellect stops I had with cold pads in my Z51. Tossed them at ~900 miles and bought the more expensive Carbotech 1521's. Now those larger 6 piston Grand Sport front pads stopped great with cold or hot pads.

Replaced under warranty
The red lettering on my original LT1 valve covers flaked off badly. The dealer replaced originals under warranty. I sprayed them with a matte clear acrylic enamel in hopes of keeping them from doing that again. If it happens again, I'm going to look for something custom. I've seen some really cool looking custom valve covers on the forum. Definitely will be interested in getting something that might last longer than the original.

I recently added before I parked it for the winter ACS Composite XL rock guards front and rear and also added front fender extensions all in carbon flash.

It was not bad. Rock guards were easy. The front fender extensions the drivers side went easy. The passenger side was a little harder to get off with the 3m tape. The best part I did not need to pay someone to install them.
