First Day Mods!
What do you guys plan on doing to the car the first day/week of owning it?
Coule be something simple as changing the mats or as drastic as changing the wheels!!
Here are a few of mine..
-Wrap all chrome parts on the car
-Remove dealer plate and IND painted Frame http://ind-distribution.com/ind/cate...se-plate-frame
-Crystalline Ceramic Tint 70-80 percent tint (maybe)
-Plasti-Dip badges until the painted ones come
Plus a couple other things
What do you guys like doing to your cars when you first get them?

Just a quick $0.02 interjection here: break the car in for a few hundred miles before doing anything. Get a feel for how it drives, what you like or don't like, and what direction you think the first steps towards perfection should take. In addition to giving yourself a window to address any initial quality issues, you'll get used to the car and be able to appreciate your mods that much more.

Geeze...this guy can't keep his entire build in ONE thread?!?! LOL
My stuff from iND should be back by weeks end. They have been swamped plus I don't have the car so it's a win win.
My first "mods" so to speak with be full tint/clear bra.
I plan on doing an entire paint correction prior to the bra being installed. I will be doing the paint correction myself. I will keep my entire process in ONE thread unlike some people...LOLOL

I might go with slightly darker than 35%, which is what I have on my BSM M4 -- see pic below. We'll see -- need to see how sexy the 70% looks on yours. You sure that's dark enough 
Day Two will be clear bra and some other minor internal tweaks. I'm really curious about wrapping the chrome window trim so as soon as I learn more and find a quality installer, I'm getting them on my calendar for Day Three.
Down the road -- perhaps a visit to Weistec. We'll see after the breakin.

JKso JP trying to tell me what youre doing with the S
Yeah i wonder what Jp is going to do cause the S can't even be blacked out
Day One I'll likely do Crystalline tint as well but not 70 - 80% I might go with slightly darker than 35%, which is what I have on my BSM M4 -- see pic below. We'll see -- need to see how sexy the 70% looks on yours. You sure that's dark enough

As Drake once said "EFF it, I don't even tint it, they should know who's in it"
lol but in all seriousness I enjoy the fishbowl look so if I do tint its going to be really light

I'm thinking tints, I'm probably going to bring by abt (big local electronics retailer and high end installer) to see if they can get a remote starter installed. I spoke with one the people over at their mobile instal a year or so back and they say that their team can instal a system without tripping anything factory systems.
