- Full body XPel wrap
- XPel Ceramic window tint on all windows
- GM fender splash guards
- Bin buddy
- GM Grand Sport underhood liner
- Mild2Wild Exhaust Switch
- White LED lights for cargo area and license plate
- ZL1 Jacking pucks (purchased but not installed yet)
- PowerStop Z26 brake pads (purchased but not installed yet)
- Personalized plate and billet license plate frame (waiting for them to arrive)
- Beta testing the RangeTechnologies AFM kill - hoping they will get it right soon
- Made a photo book from our Museum delivery and trip back to California
I don't think I'll do much more than this, but who knows :-)

Just picked up mine a week ago. It is a 1LT, so I added a couple of items that I could use from the 2LT pkg. such as the 2pc. cargo shade and cargo net. I also ordered the GS OEM floor mats from the Heritage pkg. and installed the front and rear GM mud guards. Half thinking about adding the GS Fender Hash marks and getting a trunk partition from Crazy Cowboy if and when he offers them again on sale!

See, I'm already forgetting stuff. Your post reminded me that I replaced the LED lights in the trunk area and for the license plate. Editing mine now....

Only basics on my 2LT. Z26 pads, vitesse throttle controller, full paint correction and ceramic coating, suntek PPF front clip/rockers/fenders, factory hood stinger in carbon flash I installed, black lugs, 15% lumar window tint, Borla catless X pipe and lloyds ultimat front mats. I plan to add the new factory carbon fiber alcantara steer wheel and alcantara shift boot/**** and possibly a centri blower in the future budget permitting.
