I respectfully disagree, at least for these. I think for what they are and can't be seen, they are overpriced at 3x the cost versus the knockoffs. If they were half the price from ZL1Addons, I would have added them to my cart when I was ordering couple other items from them.

Highly recommend Smart Film in NE Mesa. They did the Clear Bra on my Z/28. Very happy. +1 for ZL1 Addons lifting blocks and their Tow Hooks.

As far as oil change, od say do it around 500-1000 miles. Do the diff around 500 miles as well. Then its good for a long while afterwards. (Sounds good thx)

Get the zl1 add-ons lift blocks and rock guards asap. (Definitely)

As far as tint, unfortunately my tint person went under during covid so idk. Id also recommend spending the coin and either get it PPF'd or ceramic (or both) depending on if its a daily driver or a weekend toy. Past that, enjoy the car.
(I am going to put the ceramic on myself and might get some of the front fascia and stuff PPF’d also)

(I actually bought those first because of Amazon got them faster than ZL1 addons so I supported both )

The diff fluid change is to get rid of potential break-in contamination, cheap insurance and peace of mind basically. (Sounds good and I will do it also pretty nice only having to do the rear diff fluid without transfer case and front diff )

If you want to preserve the paint in the best possible condition, I'd look at getting some rock guards (mudflaps, heh) as well as PPF for at least the front and side mirror caps, but if you can swing it, the whole car.
(Sounds good got the ZL1 addons deluxe ones and wanting to get some done up front but the whole car is out. )

Perfect color choice! Any plans on the wheels? I just couldn’t do the stock wheels.

Thanks Doc and of course I would love the SS 1LE wheels or of course the ZLE wheels and plenty of aftermarket wheels but it’s not in the budget currently. Stock wheels are ok but quite a pain to clean all of the gaps.

Pic of the Amazon vs ZL1 addons lifts since I got set of both. The size does look identical also I will have 6 on mine so it works for me to get 2 sets.

CONGRATS!!! Awesome ride, I almost pulled the trigger on ordering a ZL1 but went with my 2SS instead...

You just spent a buttload of money on a great car, don't cheap out on the oil changes, do it at 500 and 1,500 miles (I would do the rear diff as well on both of those), if you do it yourself the oil change is only about $100 each...)

Get some PPF for sure or you are going to have a lot of rock chips...

This is where I did PPF on my 2SS... I wouldn't do anything less than the red areas... (I have 5,200 miles and not a single rock chip... )

SS1LE wheels is my personal favorite and have been since they originally came out. As soon as I needed new tires I upgraded wheels as well. This is with 10mm front and 5mm rear spacers plus Eibach springs

Beautiful vehicle. First thing I try to do with a new vehicle is get a clear bra installed. I can't speak to the oil changes as I don't have too much experience with the LT4, but I figure spending a little on such an investment is not that big a deal. Congrats, and good luck with your new baby!


Oh and good luck with a good reputable window tint place. I haven't had the best of luck with the last 4 window tint shops that I've visited. They either don't care about letting water run down the door, or don't care about applying the film on correctly, and this is getting my windows tinted from places that charged me as little as $200 for a full tint job to $1300 for a full tint job. Spending the $1300 was quite a disappointment as I was hoping that I'd get a decent job, but it was one of the worst tint jobs I'd seen.

Looks great and much better than the OEM wheels especially with the spacers! Too bad it didn’t come this way from the factory. I haven't seen any aftermarket’ wheels that look better than these do.

This 6th gen SS 1LE wheel design must have been borne out of an inspired moment, it's so simple, yet so powerful and almost impossible to best. I'd love to hear the story behind it, if there is one.

(The stock ZL1 1LE wheel design is pretty good, too, by the way.)

I agree, the SS 1LE wheel is by far the best looking wheel on a Camaro, I plan to get some MMR 017 1LE replicas when it is time for tires... (I have 5,200 miles and a lot of meat left on the tires, might be time to start testing out the Line Lock feature of the SS!)
