So I'll post my mods installed and near future. Superbright switchback front turn signal and 194 marker lights. Blue led strip lights soldered to T3 miniature wedge bases in the map lights. Window tint on the side and rear windows 35/20, Borla S type cat back exhaust and 18 inch GT wheels.
Ordered and awaiting arrival, JDM tune and Airaid CAI and a GT rear with 3.55 gears. Going to install the rear and get the BCM reprogrammed for the wheels and gears and then install the tune. Should have it all wrapped up by early October.

Well the lights, LEDs, and tints all belong in a different forum but the CAI, exhaust, and gears should be here.

It's probably a quieter forum because most of us with the V6 are quietly saving the money to get a GT next time haha

I'm waiting for my springs to come in then I have to find time to install those and my Steeda Pro Actions. I'm partway through installing some ambient footwell lighting strips, just have to figure out how to wire it to the fuse box instead of using the 12v plug.

Soon as I get my project wrapped up I'll post all my upgrades. I have been in training for six months with no time to install. Plus slowly collecting more. Working non-engine upgrades right now.

You know one upgrade I think I really want are wheels. I was looking at AM for 18x9 but I don't know of they'll fit the 4 piston brakes. That and their limited 18in wheel selection for the S550.

I'd say to check local facebook groups or CL, then you don't have to worry about the shipping cost and some people just want to get rid of them. I think I remember seeing a set of those stock 18s go for either $250 or $350 in the past month or so.

Base gt wheels do look nice but they are 18x8 like the 051a wheels. I suppose I can just oversize the tire and see what happens. Ideally I'd really like 18x9 (best combo of wheel to tire ratio imo) but it looks easier to find 19x9, which for sure fits the base gt brakes.

Well my takeoff rear from Shelby is in. Only got to drive it home from the shop on a 25 mph red light infested street. I did notice that it made it seem like the a/c wasn't on as it was 90 here today. Next BCM reprogram.

Is it a standard or automatic?

The 18 inch wheels and the 3.55 rear. It came with 17 inch wheels and 3.15 gears.
Now you can put on the GT base brakes.
I used the SCTX4 when I switched over to the 3.55.
Recently been playing with Forscan and set the BCM to the new gearing. Didn't notice a difference

Its just to get the whole system on board with the changes, primarily the speedometer and anything else that would be different. Not a big deal, dealer will do it.
