I've got all the parts and my painter is working with DuPont to get the Exact match for VY. We are shooting for a "no blend" paint job. We'll see what happens.
I'm in Hawaii right now and haven't seen anything! My wheel guy is supposed to shoot a pic of the wheels for me but so far, nothing.

Guess you're planning on keeping yours, right? Gonna be super baad and can't wait to see and hear.
I'm not terribly worried about the warranty. I'm more worried about parts availability. For example, LS7 blocks going NLA would give me considerable pause.

Pfadt shocks, PS2 ZPs, cosmetic mods, Atomic Orange, Dark Titanium 3LZ, Q8A. I love this car!
I put a different engine in my car after the first year. I was willing to accept the risk and financial consequences should there be any problem not covered under warranty. It was worth it to me and everything worked out exceedingly well.
FWIW, even if GM should seek protection and opt for reorganization, they may very well continue to honor existing warranties.

When I bout my 2005 Mustang GT, I carried it to a painter first to have a set of rally stripes painted on cleared and wet sanded, then it went to a speed shop for a prototype Saleen Twin Screw S/C installation...
If I want more power ( not there yet) I have no problem with blowing out the warranty...
The only engine mod I've ever done on the four Vettes I've owned was a cold air intake and performance air filter. That's it. I'm happy with the stock 436 HP I have now.
Are you kidding? If they were to be gone, our cars would become collectors items in a few years. And collectors like to buy totally original cars. My Z06 would become my retirment plan in 10 years!
The last year of the Vette and I have one. I like that. And they have not made a lot this year either.
