On my 18 GT, after 500 miles i already installed a H pipe and Roush exhaust. By 5000 miles i was running Lund's e85 tune. By 10,000 miles i had most of the suspension done. Sitting at 50,000 miles now and loving every minute of it.

Definitely should have included the "before bringing it home" in the poll. I had wheels, tires, lowering springs, H-pipe, and jacking rails a couple of weeks before the car.

Some cars I've already planned mods before I even bought the car.

As for this car, it started pretty fast. Tint, exhaust, shift knob, pedals then wheels tires etc...Eventually it morphed into this track beast.

Side splitters, can you please post a photo?
I have been thinking about a front splitter. But, now...

Immediately, as far as appearance is concerned. Got my car end of March, and already have tinted lights, front splitter, side splitters, and spoiler done. Tinted windows and wrapped vents up next. Exhaust will be done in August. I'm fine with the way it performs stock for now.

I'll DM you a photo this weekend after install. Side splitters just arrived this week and still boxed up. Stole this pic but should be similar, except I also have some winglets to go on. I have the same PP2 front splitter as the car below as well.

I voted for "I do not mod my car", which isn't entirely true. I wouldn't mod a newer model car I don't intend to keep, because it tends to have an adverse effect on resale and you don't recover the cost of the mods. But, I have no problem modding "hobby" cars.

Unlike most people here, I do not want my cars to attract attention. But, I will do the Steeda jacking rails.
Id say I’m in this category above. With the P1 & P2 packages, suits the majority of consumers (talking from a GT owner perspective). But the other part of me considers any car or truck i own as hobby. And as with any hobby, you’re gonna put $$$ into it knowing you’re creating memories and having fun in the process. There’s gonna be over 100s of opinions here on this and no one is wrong either.

3 weeks and the motor was taken apart for OPG/CG and supercharger shortly after

I got windows tinted right away, and I threw in a LED reverse bulb. So I guess "right away" for me, but I won't do any mods that could cause warranty issues until it's out of warranty or paid off.
