Used the rainy day to install my Blend mount and Mirror tap for my radar detector. I also dropped the car off to have paint correction and C Quarts Professional coating applied.

Finally got around to installing DBA 4000 T3 rotors and the GM 2017 front brake cooling duct kit on my Z51
Both should work well at the Glen in June

Excellent write-up! Felt I was there! 10 hits sounds like it may not be rocket science BUT was not easy! Wonder if my short handle 5 lb sledge would make it easier?

Looks great and results sound great!

Anthony at LG Motorsports has been a help when I called for much simpler things. Had their CF side skirts on my 2014 as well bought one of the first CF hood vents and they were a help with suggestions on removing the OEM.

Really like the changes in Tour so far.

How much your dealer charge you for it?
Was there a very significant improvement can you share in more details on the changes?
How about the sports and track mode?

Thanks. The guys at LG are very helpful. When I purchased the sway bars I chatted with about how effective they would be on my GS. They took the time explain and same with the spindles. Great bunch of guys.

I think you made the right choice. That yellow with those wheels just pops!

Both are very sharp. Did similar a few weeks ago, went home with the GS.

Tough call, you got to do what feels right.

I returned mine to GM. Worst car I've ever owned and apparently GM doesn't really want customers, so I will accommodate them.

Picked it up from having C Quarts ceramic coating put on. Then to dealer for the 500 mile oil change with 511 miles on the car. Got them to use the new 0W-40 MOBIL 1 oil.
