New S63 owner chiming in

Hey guys! Picked up an 08 S63 yesterday and absolutely love it! Thought I'd pop in to say hello to the S crew. Already started the light modding process.

VIM221 ordered - video in motion module for DVD video playback, had it overnighted so should be a quick install
Valentine One hardwire kit ordered, probably wife through the fuse panel
2011 red rear taillights ordered, hopefully a simple deal with no warning lights
Painted rear lip spoiler ordered

Any suggestions for other mods? Potential problem areas to watch?

Thanks in advance!

Man 1st day and I'm seeing 9.5 mpg in the city without giving it the beans! I guess I need to become good friends with the gas pump.

That's worse than my S65 gets! I do mostly city driving and average 12-13

Ha! Love those! Did the trunk lip spoiler, 2012 rear LEDs, Nav/DVD module and Reus is coming tomorrow to do their complete audio system. Next on the hit list is wheels.
