[@Gonin60]

Diode Dynamics Led Sidemarkers: amzn.to/3ku57bJ ZL Rock Guards: amzn.to/30daTI5

[@cjjoseph8954]

1. Cold Air Intake 2. Catch Can. 3. Range AFM Disabler in that order.

[@Gonin60]

Thanjs

[@xthaliax22]

have a 2SS 1LE on order now..taking it to the detailer immediately! Thanks for the great video

[@Gonin60]

You bet!

[@416RG]

I actually laughed when you threw the rocks at the rock guards after saying lets test these out and I hardly laugh you know 😂

[@Gonin60]

Lol glad you liked that part. I had fun with it.

[@Jeff-wm3qn]

Whenever I get my new Camaro I plan on getting the whole car wrapped with paint protection film through ceramic pro I like their product I think it's a good product and it's backed up with a lifetime warranty I can't wait to get my car

[@Gonin60]

Good move!

[@Chad_7777]

PPF and a super light polish is a great first mod. Totally agree and did the same on mine. Skip shift eliminator is a must. That skip shift feature annoyed me to no end. Look forward to hearing of the go fast or handling mods you install!

[@Gonin60]

Skip shift should be added for sure!

[@AsapTone]

thanks for the paint protection tips/ mods! im going to order one of these hopefully next year. and ugh I hate how the rock guards look but i rather protect the paint!

[@Gonin60]

I agree!

[@jetcity7156]

I will own a 6th gen SS before it's to late. I can only hope the first owner has done these mods.

[@Gonin60]

Right on!

[@luvkhail7857]

How late is too late?

[@enviousmonster1238]

I got mine 7 months ago. Do it man asap

[@USCtrojanFootball1]

I know, I want to get mine too. I feel I need to rush before there all gone.

[@carverconstructionco]

Just picked mine up last week.. 🤘👊🙏

[@Game-The-System]

Nice vid. After having my '18 for almost 5 years now, I totally agree with the first two. Paint quality these days is awesome. However, manufacturers have gotten lazy and the process makes the delivered product very poor for the real world. The third is subjective. It's a nice mod to be sure, especially given that LEDs are better than bulb technology that hasn't advanced much ~60 years. Since I have a manual, the skip shift delete was one of my first mods and I'm so glad I did it.

[@Gonin60]

Right on!

[@pbrdoug4962]

The ZL1 Addons deluxe rock guards are a must. I've had them on my WB Challenger for a year and a half. They work great. On a side note, I bought your hoodie and Teespring has the zipper pull on the wrong side. As for lefties. I still like your "Gonin60" logo

[@Gonin60]

The rock guards are for sure a must! Oh no on the jacket. Did you contact teespring? Or return it? I would be happy to Venmo you back if you want to email me.

[@909scat]

Good lookin car! The marker light mod is a definite must. That's one of the 1st things I did on mine. Looking forward to see what else you got coming

[@Gonin60]

I agree! Thanks brother! More to come for sure. I hope you’re well!

[@danaberman6929]

Pull the left plastic valve cover off and see if you have a LS1 Corvette engine. Some of the 2020 and 2021 SS 1LE's with the 6 speed have the Vette engine with the builders name on the plate. It's an easter egg that has to be found. The engines were left over C-7 Vette engines and they do not fit in the new C-8. Just something that is very cool. It's like the Shelby Engines with the builders name.

[@Gonin60]

Great info. I need to for sure!

[@synergytech7323]

Ok that was funny the way you test the fender guards out by tossing rocks at it!

[@Gonin60]

Glad you liked it!

[@JR-hy2mq]

Getting my full car PPF and ceramic coated level 2 paint correction, wheels and calipers ceramic coated, ceramic window tint. I was also looking at the ZL1 rock guards. Do you still like them? The LED side marker looks great. My other mods not sure maybe after two years as I’m told it will void my factory 3 year warranty will be: 1. MSD Atomic intake manifold ported 2. Kooks headers 2 inch 3. Throttle body ported 4. Roto fab 5. Weapon x Camshaft 6. Custom tune Great video I agree with your first three Mods but a 4th I have the sto n sho for my front license plate

[@Gonin60]

Nice! Thanks for watching!

[@brucewiemer8341]

Great advice on a really big problem that most people don't even think about. 👍

[@Gonin60]

Thank you!

[@brucewiemer8341]

@@Gonin60 no problem.

[@abel1504]

Will the afm delete mess with the mpg on the highway?

[@abel1504]

I have a 8speed

[@Gonin60]

Not sure

[@jgcamaross1811]

Nice vid. Also consider changing the back up lights to white light bulbs and the license plate lights to white LEDs.

[@Gonin60]

For sure! On the list.

[@Game-The-System]

Changed my entire taillight enclosure, which came with LED. The clean white light is nice. Your comment reminded me that I have to do the license plate 👍

[@amrocko]

Thanks for the tip re the spacers on the rock guards. My Camaro is supposed to be here next weekend and it’s the first mod I’m gonna do. Did you consider the ACS rock guards? They look nice but they’re expensive and not sure they provide as much protection as the ZL1 guards.

[@Gonin60]

Yeah I would for sure get these! I don’t know much about the ACS. I don’t like the looks of any rock flaps but your paint will get destroyed without them

[@22_Oriole_2ss]

Finally got my car you was right how long it took .. love your videos 👍🏾

[@Gonin60]

Thanks so much for watching and congrats!!

[@bigdaddy5150sh71]

This might be a dumb question but could someone have their car re-cleared? Like with a better coat? I remember doing this on m/c gas tanks and fenders. In the 80's.

[@Gonin60]

I’m not a professional painter but if clear is gone that means the paint has no protection. I guess you could but you would be better off probably painting and clear

[@DennisHarvey-ci7yz]

Is your front splitter the factory Satin Black? Considering the same... Thanks!

[@Gonin60]

Yeah factory but had some stealth PPF installed

[@RRR-jd2oy]

Definitely in need of some aftermarket parts to keep up with those coyotes

[@Gonin60]

Yes sir!

[@keithcastleberry3993]

Side markers are subtle and look great. Have not done that

[@Gonin60]

They are sweet!

[@michaelpackulak2833]

Lol jay I found the links cool I am going to purchase both the LED side marker lights and the rock guards too oh by the way I just got in my new slotted and drilled rotors for my Camaro got a great deal on them for my car though BDC brakes !! Can’t wait to put them on my Camaro now

[@Gonin60]

Right on!!!

[@revnation_auto]

Those rock guards look a bit off to me. I have a 2024 Camaro with lower PPF and haven’t had many paint issues. I got paint correction and ceramic pros coating professionally installed.

[@Gonin60]

Cool

[@michaelpackulak2833]

Hi jay need to know where you got the ZL1 rock guards from and how much for them ? And the LED side marker lights where from and how much ?

[@Gonin60]

Links should be in the video description

[@mikeb4825]

I'd look into to getting a oil catch can. You'd be surprised at how much oil it collects in a few thousand miles because of the engine's direct fuel injection.

[@Gonin60]

I’ll look into it. Thank you!

[@3349mm620z]

One of my first purchases

[@somanyroads74]

Another great vid man. I’ll have some time to shop this stuff since I’m waiting on my build. Pretty sure our cars are going to be identical. I have a 2SS 1LE in Satin Steel on the way. Red seatbelts too 😉

[@Gonin60]

Right on! You will love this spec.

[@benbright2594]

How long was the wait when you ordered it?

[@EscapeFPs]

How much is it for all the paint correction stuff ? And rock guards ?

[@Gonin60]

It’s in the video

[@EscapeFPs]

I love the red led markers definitely want those cause mine is black and red

[@tonyrandal1155]

My first mod was mounting Victorrcing wing on.

[@Gonin60]

Not familiar with that!

[@anthonymacias8703]

I've had my 1ss 1le for about 3 months now and the number 1 thing I dislike about the car is the amount of rocks it kicks up. Got my car protected within the month, now I just need those rocks guards.

[@Gonin60]

I don’t like it either. These tires grab everything.

[@camarolover7386]

I just got a SS2 2024 will that lighting and rock guard fit my car?

[@Gonin60]

I believe so

First thing I’m doing as well in 3 days . Full front clip Xpel , fenders , mirrors on my Durango Hellcat. How do you like your F1 tires ? Ceramic tint next ? Looks 🔥💯

[@Gonin60]

Good call! I like them but I also don’t. Everything sticks to them and flips on the car. I like your other mod suggestions.

[@EliasMoreiraBass]

You got it for much cheaper than what they’re charging in my area (3.5k just for the ppf). At that point I have to wonder if its better to spend the cash on other mods. I chose to only do ceramic coating and then invest on other things (exhaust, wing, etc)

[@Gonin60]

I would do the same!

[@jjsalazar96]

were those rock guards deluxe or the standard versions?

[@Gonin60]

I can’t remember. I think standard. What does it list as the difference between the two?

[@jjsalazar96]

@@Gonin60 The description says the deluxe features a smoother edge finish and a thicker or harder plastic material

[@jackbailey2832]

I’ve been watching your videos for awhile I was wondering how you made your mind up on the car carrier to deliver it to you I just bought the 22 ZL1 and now I have to get it to me. I started the process for a enclosed trailer but man trusting someone with a new car is stressing for sure

[@Gonin60]

I bought my first two new cars over 1k miles away. I trashed the mustang coming back in rock chips.

[@teebett2726]

Another video on YT stated the sidemarkers need to be "waterproofed" or water will short out the car. Any issues with this?

[@Gonin60]

No issues

[@eastcoastlife3547]

Do you Think they are better than the factory ones? Thanks

[@Gonin60]

The rock guards or lights? GM has splash guards. I feel these cover more. Lights look better but don’t know about longeivity.

[@eastcoastlife3547]

@@Gonin60 Yeah the splash guards! their body coloured looks sleeker but yes the ZL one rock guards would certainly cover more!

[@luislainez3531]

is that a sharkskin metallic paint color?

[@Gonin60]

Satin Steel Metallic

[@gtrance3567]

Nice video, maybe also skip shift eliminator and window tint.

[@Gonin60]

Agreed!

[@abmotorsports4284]

Skip shift eliminators are actually bad for the car

[@gtrance3567]

How so?

[@keithcastleberry3993]

Those factory tires are nowhere near sticky under 50F. I changed out 2500 miles in for some Continental Extreme Contact Sports. Excellent tires and a bit smoother ride than the factory Supercar 3 runflats. Rock guards are a must and I liked the looks of the rocker skirts so those went on as well.

[@Gonin60]

Agreed!

[@charlesswiger2260]

Man those modes are awesome looks amazing just subed I'm looking to buy one soon my self 😀

We wouldn't have to worry about taking our car to a shop to make the paint better if they didn't stop taking lead out of the clear coat at the factories. You can blame The "Save the planet people" of the world as to why you're paint job gets scratched easily.
