Say hello to one more SLS

So I'm getting my car next Friday hopefully, and just wanted to share with you my excitement, it has black exterior and red interior, pictures coming once it arrives and gets detailed ! Any suggestion you would recommend me to do? Should I carbon fiber air guides and the air vents on the car ? Or would it be a bad idea and would hurt the value? Any other suggestion ? By the way I'm in south Florida, would love to go with someone out who has an SLS too !

Thanks

A quick shot of the car , btw the car takes a bit long time to heat up and I live in Miami is it normal? The heat of the oil, engine, they keep on blinking for a good 6-8 min and then they stop not sure if I need to wait or I can just drive off

Great looking car! No expert but, I would get the "blinking" checked out at a dealer.

The car just got out of the dealer, it's not a dangerous blinking, but you know when you choose the AMG screen next to the tachometer ? There's one of the screens and it has 3 images that show the heat of every single component in the car, and it just blinks to say that the engine is heating I guess but not sure if it's normal to take a bit of long time to blink you know what I mean?

Strange anomaly in these cars but, when you(I) have the AMG Performance Media, you don't get the same screen. I sure someone else will chime in to comment.
