installed my oem rear lip spoiler on the 10th day of ownership.

next mod:
oem front lip
Eibach springs
Tanabe exhaust

maybe carbon fiber interior kit and illuminated skid plates

I thought for sure that I would leave it stock. What can I say, it's in my genes.

Tint 35% all around...at the dealership before I drove it home.

Next up: Front Lip and HKS exhaust. Might go for the F-sport intake.

Default Other than clear bra or tint . . . wait.

I almost did the same thing. Now that the car's here, I really like the 17" rims. I loved the 18" chromed stock wheels on ebay, but after waiting on my special order, I've changed my mind after seeing silver wheels with chrome lips. At this time I may not lower the car either, because there is no huge gap between the tire and the wheelwell, like on my bro's last-gen ES, which makes his car look like it's jacked up.

Got the full bra and tint installed by my dealer before delivery. I knew I wanted the bra after reading so many threads here, and the tint adds class. I am thinking no more mods except maybe painted/logo'd calipers, which I may hold off on until I need new brakes. Then I'll consider bigger brakes and bigger calipers, if they'll fit my 17" AWD wheel.

The car is so nice inside and out, that you are already ahead of 99% of the cars out there (if you live in my neck of the woods). And the 1% paid way more than me for an oversized or overperforming car than my needs require.
