I know it's extremely early, but anyone already planning some mods?
Just looking at pictures I can see lots of opportunities for personalizing, or modding as we like to call it. A few I would like to see.
1) paint stripes along the sharp lines of the hood...lots of possibilities there. Could also carry up over the roof panel...
2) alternate exhaust tip shapes
3) of course, many wheel alternatives, but one that has always intrigued me was the bronze finish from HRE...would be cool with a Cyber Gray exterior and that brownish interior..(forgot the name, but you get the idea)
4) this one is major...reversing the tail lights....seems to me the bottom point should be inboard instead of outboard to flow better with the emblem and the rear bumper shape.
5) wider tires (is this even a mod?...seems mandatory!)
As a lifetime 'modder' who can't leave a car alone, I would like to hear your ideas as well...

Tint windows and body colored vents. Also painting the lower rear to body color. Maybe wheels.......depending on how the stock wheels look when I actually see the car.

As always, you have to wait on the aftermarket. I've built custom cars for many years, so one off parts is possible. I tend to think in stages. Wheels, better stance, basic aero, cleanliness...all good things.
This was an early pic I did when the car first released in jan

remove the stingray emblem
Paint the roof and portion of the rear hatch black. Maybe a black stripe from the vent on teh hood back to teh windshield.
Lower the car for a better looking wheel gap
window tint
change the exhaust tips to something that fits the space better
HRE wheels

I would go so far as to load up my truck and bring a floor jack, tire iron, TPMS programmer, and my new wheels to the dealership when I pick the car up. It wont even make it off the lot on the stock ones.
And as soon as it's in my driveway, the suspension is coming off and a proper set of coilovers will go on, followed by a ride-height correction. Then it will go straight to Mulholland Drive, followed by Angeles Crest.

The stock Pilot Super Sports will be wrapping my HRE's as long as I can finally decide on wheel and finish combination.
Never give an artist too many options.

To be done within the 1st 30 days of ownership:
-Clear Bra
-Tint
-Escort 9500ci
-Radar Project by dashtronicx
-Laser Interceptor HD Dual
-Extra HD Head
-Bit One with tune (If I still don't like the audio system then speakers and amps would soon follow)
After a few years I may supercharge it.
