From your pics it looks like you have the front splash guards installed - (edited because I don't comprehend reading well) - did the NCM charge to install those? Any resistance as they are not a OEM part?
Yes I have the ACS front and GM rears that were installed by the museum, no issue st all, charged me $25.00. I know they’ve put side skirts on for some other museum deliveries so I think they are willing to do quite a few things that are potentially helpful for a drive hone.

Great looking ride. Mine went in for the 500 mile change this afternoon. They didn’t have the 0W-40 yet, but I’m fine with the 5W-30 in the car for now (mine is a 2018), but look forward to the new stuff on the second oil change.

All the BBQ talk reminded me of McKenzie’s in Conroe. When I was traveling to The Woodlands, that short drive north was always well worth it.

Thats where I landed too, going to get the oil changed with the 5W40 later this week. I won’t be on a track so it’s not an issue for me. I don’t get to the north side of town much but if I do I will check that out.

Default Black covering on nose

Is the black covering on the nose a factory option? I hadn't seen it before

No, it’s a Novistretch travel bra, it can be purchased multiple places but I bought through the museum in advance and they installed for me so that I’d have that protection for the drive home.

Thanks teejake -

I was able to get with Shane and they will install the ACS front and GM rears for my delivery. The charge was $25, just as you said. I really appreciate the advise. Thanks!

Sorry but I fat-fingered the dollars... It was $25 to install from the NCM, not $35. But thanks again, the forum speaks.....
