Just came from my first service and some info!
First service done today, I was lucky when I bought the car they gave me coupons for the first 3 services so it was a no charge.
Info for those who have questions on warranty and mods, I thought I would pass on my experience:
Info for those who have questions on warranty and mods, I thought I would pass on my experience:
- 20" wheels:
- No issues other than everyone thought these were among some of the nicest wheels they have seen, the SM's thought the offsets was perfect, etc. No comments on warranty. They said they hate wheel people put wheels on them and cheap out.
- Lowered with links:
- They liked the setup, no issues with warranty.
- They said they aren't really happy with the electronic lowering systems, they have seen numerous failures.
- ECU change:
- I told them not to reflash the ECU, they knew why, no comment on it, no warranty issues.
- Sprint Booster
- They saw it no issues or comments on the warranty.
- HID conversion
- No comments
- PS I never have them wash my cars, too dangerous!!

My dealership is "mod friendly" too.
BUT: be wary that they can note these things and when push comes to shove just be certain that they are definitively on your side. Even if you remove the mods if you ever need warranty service, be sure to ask your SA to make certain that nothing is noted in your VMI from this last visit.

Overall the SM's drove the car and thought it was a dramatic improvement on ride, handling and looks from stock. Obviously all my mods are easily reversible, so if I have an issue with something I would just pull the mod.

Thanks, I think the comments on ride were more related to type of ride. It being tighter and handling flatter as opposed to the traditional ride. Which is one of the reasons i went the wheels, ties and drop (in addition to the look).
