While many have the Mod bug, it is worth hanging back a bit....see how things are running before making any major investments. Okay...maybe do some (easily removable ones).

A lesson for all who are thinking about it for sure. And what makes it worse, you are at the mercy of a service group that has issues.

Keep us updated and best of luck. Chin up.
Thanks for the input. The lesson is learned. I would have Lemon Lawed it for an 09 months ago if I hadn't just finished the custom trunk. Everything else is removeable and I kept the stock parts.

Here is the list, all of which are non-warranty related:
1. Custom CAI (Voided Air Filter warranty)
2. Magnaflow Cat-back (Voided muffler warranty)
3. Rosen Entertainment Headrest TV/DVD Players
4. FormulaOne Pinnacle Ceramic tint (so as not to void the warranty)
5. E&G Classics Type II Rear Spoiler
6. 2009 Shark Fin Roof-mount Antenna
7. ALL interior lights changed to cool white LED
8. HOEN Supermatch Fogs (suck ass)
9. 2007 Woodgrain Shifter Knob
10. Debadged
11. Here is the big one - Fully custom, tan suede-lined, DynaMat Ultra insulated trunk featuring a custom subwoofer enclosure housing 2x Alpine Type-R 12's, Alpine PDX1000.1 Amplifier, MTX Re-Q5 sound processor, all trimmed in Sapele Pommelle wood and brushed aluminum. Trunk is lit like a christmas tree using all white LEDs. We utilized all of the stock trunk panels and resin-coated them to make them rigid, instead of carpet. They are immoveable mountains.
12. Chrome Grille Kit
13. Shock Sensor added to stock alarm.
14. Pirelli PZero Sotto Zero Snow Tires


That's it, a short list, but unrecoupable.
