What did I do today? Added Stabil, filled it up wiped it down, plugged in Battery Tender and covered it. Calling State Farm Monday and taking road coverage off. Done till the salt gets washed off the roads in the spring.

Don't these wear our $400+ rotors much faster than the Brembo pads, though? These are carbon ceramic pads and much harder than stock, which is probably why they don't dust that much, they must be wearing the rotors instead...

Not sure but I’m still on the original rotors FWIW.

Do you leave the battery tender on and plugged in all day/every day throughout the winter? Any issues? Thanks in advance.

Yes it’s a low amp automatic maintainer. Keep on all winter. It kicks on and off as needed, whenever battery voltage drops. That’s the point, to not let the battery discharge which shortens life span by sulfating the lead plates.

That was my main concern as well arpad, but Josh's comment is reassuring. I will give them a try when the oem ones wear out. Another concern I have is if the Powerstop pads last long enough. I've heard of people in this forum reporting that they kept the oem ones on their car for more that 50k miles, which is impressive.

What did I do to my Camaro today... Well, nothing. But a fox, obviously trying to get warm, climbed on my hood and scratch my hood wrap. Going to replace it on Wednesday. It seems that I will have to put the cover on every time I park ...and pee around my car from now on

Haha, the struggle with these darn critters is real. Good luck with the replacement, brother

Drove it and washed it. The ceramic coating I put on the wheels made cleaning the wheels a breeze. Now we'll see how long it lasts.
