Thanks everyone!

Well i bought a warranty so hopefully if anything happens it will be covered, as for pictures i literally just purchased the car i plan to get a nice exterior detail then take some pics .

Future plans would be tint, window visors, exhaust, intake,rims and maybe a sound system.

Congrats on the purchase, and welcome to the F family! The warranty is definitely peace of mind, and especially with some 08 models needing the water pump replaced, it can surely pay for itself. CL has a great amount of info for the mods you want as well as any questions you may have. It's really a great community we have. The only tip I have is toggle it to SPORT mode, and let it rip . Enjoy your F!

Thanks again everyone for the warm welcomes!

I will probably keep my mods simple since i just dropped a chunk of change on the down payment.

As for pics its been raining, I'm hoping to get it cleaned up this upcoming week and i can snap a few shots.
