I've read a bunch of the forums over the last year prior to buying my S. I finally bought a nearly new '06 with ~4000 miles on it. Now that I have it I'm trying to think of all the problems I've read about that could've been prevented. I'm looking for feedback on which of these might be a waste of time, and what ideas are missing:

Here's my list:

1. Replace motor oil with Mobile 1.
2. Iron on patches to prevent the top from wearing through?
3. Floor mats that cover the passenger side hump.
   ...

Seems like there should be more.

 

that's something i;m starting to notice the wear on!!

+ how about adding a dlear bra!!

Put some wax/sealent on the 1st chance you get.

 

I have some stuff I will do to my newly acquired S.

1) Upgrade headunit --> done
2) Tint windows to light blue --> done
3) Clay and Wax entire car --> done

Rest are pending:
4) Upgrade speakers
5) Add 12" sub
6) Add Oakely signia to rear wind buffer
7) Change necessary fluids (oil, trans, diff)
8) possibly add clear bra (My commute is on city streets so I dont knwo about this one)

I plan to keep it stock so thats pretty much it

Putting a clear bra on the bumper (not necessarily the front of the hood) is a biggie. S2k paint sucks. That's probably trhe one thing I wish I did originally with the car - everything else is preference I think.

 

I wish I would've had the clear bra applied early on... before the 5,423,784 rock chips.

 

I should have financed the Hard top into the purchase. Honostly thats the only thing I regret not doing

 

I SO agree

 

hum...maybe i should put it on my new bumper...my old bumper is toast.
