Default Maintenance/Replacement Costs?

I was thinking it would be advantageous to have a thread of costs for various items people have done to their Z that were not covered by warranty. Lets call it a quick reference when something needs to be done for people to know what to expect for a cost.

I am new to the sports car world and it seems pretty well everything is quite a bit more expensive than what it would be on a regular daily driver.

Some things I'm curious about but not to the point I'd call in and find out

Replace Windshield
Replace Brake Pads
Replace Rotors
Replace Calipers
Replace Front Spoiler
Replace Rear Fascia
Replace Spark Plugs

Z06 IRON rotors are usually ~$400 each, both front and rear.

Front brake pads will run you between $300 to $500 depending on the brake system.

Best price for front ceramic rotors is $1300 ea from Amazon and best price for rear ceramic rotors is $1800 from Amazon.

Stage 2 Front spoiler is $2K, Stage 3 End Caps for the spoiler are a couple hundred more.

Spark Plugs aren't a big cost item. Most original and second maybe even third owners will never look at them let alone replace them. They typically will go close to 100K miles I haven't replaced spark plugs in years.

What happened to yours? I noticed both my front liners are cracked, one has flaps that are broken.
