I've had my Camaro for about 6 days so I need to catch up. So far I've removed the dealer sticker, tinted the windows, purchased the OEM Camaro all-weather floor mats and put them in, and just ordered some black Gorilla wheel locks to match with my wheels which will be installed tomorrow.

Left it home as it's raining today and I'd did a wipe down with detailer last night and did under the hood this morning before work.

Those ZL1 wheels must be a bitch and a half to clean! So many spokes! How do you do it? I used to have a Grand Cherokee SRT with split 5 spokes, weight saving slots, and barely any access to the calipers. Took so much time to clean, and I never found a good solution. My 2SS has very simple 5-spokes now - takes like 1 minute to clean a wheel and caliper.

Installed some Reverse LED Bulbs and 2- 20 cent resistors off Amazon. No need to buy expensive kits to have LED Reverse Bulbs anymore. And yes no heat and working flawlessly! Link for DIY here - http://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=489667

Honestly, Adam's soft wheel brush and their wheel cleaner is all I use, followed by the microfiber cloth of course. Much easier off the car that's for sure. Finding correct points to lift it with my old jack was another story of course....

Got my 6LE blade spoiler back from the painter and installed it today. All in all it came out nice and looks great on the car. I immediately took it for a ride and it was getting a lot of looks, as none of the drivers in the other lanes would pass me, just ride next to me.
On the down side, my painter put in a few extra hours on the prep because it was rough from 6LE (overspray, nicks, & smudges in the primer). Upon installation, the hardware I received was 1/4 X 20 machine screws with a Philips head; this proved very hard to install in the center mount hole & not possible to tighten, so I replaced it with a same size bolt (this mimicked the stock hardware for the stock spoiler) and worked (IMHO) better. Also, 6LE ad says this spoiler will only add 1/4" to the overall height of the stock spoiler, it is more like 1 1/2" (not complaining, just saying); the picture of the spoiler, viewed through the rearview mirror, in 6LE's ad, is very accurate as to the view you will get. I didn't weigh it, but the blade spoiler center section felt to be at least twice the weight of the stock wing spoiler. Overall, I am very pleased with the 6LE spoiler and the way it turned out. I think it is just what the car needed and looks amazing.

Here are some pictures of the spoiler installed:

Are all the ZL1 buttons red on the trim?

Added the ZL1 Deluxe splash guards to keep my 1/4 panels from getting destroyed at the track with the 19x10 wheels.
