Looking good  :D. I guess I need to pull the trigger on that Vantage S mesh grille.

That’s about what I paid for my 07, though it had a ton of expensive maintenance done recently.

Wheels came in today;  they’re at the tire shop getting put together.    Super excited to see them actually ON the car, they look great in the box at least!    I will ceramic them (and the brake calipers) before I install them.

Next mods are:

Brake pads that don’t dust like mad (this will happen soon)
Maybe lowering springs (or coil-overs)
Headers
High flow cats
Tune
Upgraded Nav/Bluetooth system
Dual disc clutch with lighter flywheel
Maybe clear tails
Maybe Vantage “S” side skirts

These will be spread out over quite a while, though.   Just little stuff, really.   I don’t want to change the character of the car.

It has waaaaaaay too much wheel gap with the flush fitment now.   Ordered some progressive lowering springs from Velocity AP.    Supposed to drop it 1” and improve ride.   We shall see.

I also ordered some Porterfield R4S brake pads.   Apparently as good or better than the stockers with 90% less dust and squeal.   The stock pads dust like mad and squeal like a dump truck.

This winter, I’ll probably do the exhaust work and window tint.   I will see from there.

I am pretty sure performance springs are considered a mod? 

And, did you order them on Saturday, if so.... I win!  Almost exactly 3 months from when you picked it up.   :gruffy: :poke:

Headers aren’t a mod, right?   Right?
