How about some more input from those who have driven their 2010 Camaro a few hundred miles?

The ground effect kits CAN be painted. Most bumpers these days are made of plastic and guess what, they are painted. The "Not recommended to be painted" is a disclaimer so if you opt to have the dealer paint the kit, you can't blame them when it starts peeling or chips easily. If you take the kit to a reputable paint and body shop who knows how to prep and paint plastic car parts, you will be ok and you will have the shop's warranty as well. I ordered my camaro with the kit and the dealer said they will paint and install it for me, no charge BUT having just learned that they don't recommend painting, I expect issues down the road but it will be easy enough to mask, scuff, and spray paint and clear coat.
As far as the tranny noise...if the shop foreman said the noise is not normal then you should trust that but it is bothersome that your dealer won't do anything about it til a rep confirms something needs to be done. You should definitely take it back and demand a resolution and not settle for the BS they are giving you.

Good luck and keep us posted.
