I have a Rotofab on order along with ZL1 add ons rock guards. My first two immediate mods.
What few mods do you have done?

June 3rd I get paint correction, expel, ceramic coating and my windows tinted - very excited about this!

Beautiful, now make sure that you don’t stick it in the garage and drive it 1000/year ��

Enjoy

Good choice in car and color! Did you go manual or auto?
+1 on rotofab and other paint protection/rock guards. Best way to go on a new ride.
I have had the rotofab on mine since the first couple weeks of ownership. Ported throttle body on the way. Trying to keep warranty and stay away from tuning (for now)
Enjoy!

Two more for your early mod shopping list:

1. Get a set of ZL1 Addons lift pads (use blue loctite when installing).

2. If you're not going to track the car and brake dust is a nuisance, get a set of Powerstop z26 (1835/1053) pads is a worthwhile mod.

I have all the mods you listed and the following:

ARH Long system. ATI lower pulley setup. BMR Lockout kit for the rear cradle. MightyMouse Catch Can. TM ported throttle body all tune by Ted at Jannetty. The car pulls like a freight train. Not that it didn't before but it is definitely a bigger animal now.

Yea man not interested in tuning at this point. I am a six speed manual. As good as the autos are now a days, I had one in my hellcat charger and I won't make that mistake again. I'm one of those guys that has to shift.

Thanks for the recommendations. Are the pads on this car an easy swap? On my shelby the caliper bolts were one time use. Are the ones on this car one time use as well? Also do they even need to come out on this car? I would think the front ones at least would have to.
Thanks

Further then I want to go at this time. Nevertheless must be an animal and pretty awesome with the added power. I'm assuming +75 rear wheel minimum?

Thank you! And no chance of being a garage queen. Will be daily driven except during 4 or so months of winter.
It is part of the reason paint protection, expel, and ceramic is happening in the next couple weeks.

Congratulations on your new Z and welcome to the forum and being a member of our ZL1 club!! It is an awesome Camaro and I really like mine too! The ‘19 tail lights don’t bother me at all and I have gotten used to seeing them. I bought my 2017 used with less than 500 miles back in early March of this year and have no regrets so far. Enjoy your new hotrod!!

Welcome and I love the color!

For pad replacement, the Brembos have two reusable pins to punch out and a single bolt (reusable) in front, just two pins in back. A $5 set of harbor freight punches does the trick with the pins. It's also a very good time to ceramic coat the wheels and calipers while you're at it if your PPF installer isn't doing it.

The Caliper to Spindle bolts are one-use TTY type, but you don't mess with those when changing pads.

FWIW you can recover a good portion of your powerstop $ by selling the stock pads in the members classified section. Stock pads are quite popular with the folks around here who track their cars.

Awesome! Thank you very much for the reply and tips. I will definitely keep that in mind. My guy will be ceramic coating the wheels and calipers. I figured the pad swap would be easy, glad the bolts are reusable.
Thanks again.
