I have everything lined up in order to be used so I don't have to remember next time. Just work my way down the row - brainless is good. I also got distracted when FedEx showed up today.

Hi! I'm New!
Hello Everybody! I'm here to share my experience with my car and some mods I've done.. I like many things about the car, but the only thing I didn't like was the steering "feeling".. It felt too soft mostly just on center (first 1° or 2° degrees) even on Sport + even more at higher speeds (100mph+) I didn't felt safe, so I decided to put M Performance "Sport" Springs (Red) with very little improvement, so after a little research and lot of faith I bought AC Schnitzer RS Adjustable Coilovers, and honestly felt exactly the same car, even on stiffest setting, but after a few days, I realized they where indeed too stiff in that setting (all at 0 clicks), so I turned a few clicks back (around 5), problem with steering wheel still there lol, then I changed to 19" Rims (M2's 19x9 -235/35/19 and 19x10 265/30/19) this change alone made a lot of difference! very happy with them, still a bit of play in steering wheel, but much improved, I also tried M4 LCA's but I didn't like them because they caused a lot of rubbing in front tires, better handling in curves yes, but same thing with steering wheel if not worst, so have them change back to stock, I also have M Performance LSD, happy to say it's worth it, much improved traction when accelerating, also worth mentioning the M Performance Exhaust, not as loud as I was expecting but makes a different deeper tone I like (I'm also thinking in eliminating the 2 resonators) About the ACS Coilovers just would like to add a few things, basically the only thing I don't like about them is the back height they don't have much "range" only if you want to go low, while in front they have a lot, something like + 2" to - 2" from Stock, back is more like only from stock to - 3", I also broke a spring perch ("composite" more like plastic) happy i didn't die I was going slow, but I now have them made out of bronce so they withstand mexican streets.. Cheers!

Finally done. Huge thanks to Rayscott for all his advice. Chemical guys customer support was a big help too with so many products to choose from I really needed guidance getting a proper regiment set up. Did the following, will do 2x per year.
Clay V38 w Blue Pad apply on 1 buff on 6 Wet w Black pad apply on 1 buff on 3 Jet Seal w Red pad apply on 1 buff on 2 Butter hand applied Then 1x a month reapply butter, otherwise weekly wash with P40 quick detailer for finishing. Car literally looks better than brand new when I picked it up at the dealer.

It definitely works well on dark cars. They call it a show car wax.

Installed the M Performance arm rest and floor mats to round out the rest of the interior kit. Very happy with the end result.

Installed stainless steel pedals to match the footrest. Gotta say it was a bit nerve racking drilling holes through the pedals

5050 wax is confirmed to be amazing. Also this inspection light Ray recommended at $58 from Amazon made the job a LOT easier in artificial garage light.
