I'd skip the lowering springs and go straight to coilovers.

Not a single thing. When time to trade in 4 more years I will get as close as possible to what I have now.

The only do over I'd want to make

Would have went 9.5 inch rims on the rear instead of the 8.5 I did all around. Other than that everything is great.

What a great question! I would change... nothing. Not a damned thing. Every time I think about another sports car, I say to myself, "Really? What the hell are you thinking?"

I won't replace it until there's a reasonably affordable electric sports car with livable ergonomics (not a Tesla). Even then, I think I'll be keeping it for track days.

I should have negotiated harder on getting a better deal on the Scion bumper applique.

Thanks for the input so far everyone.

So it seems like Paint correction and get some kind of clear coating on it to protect it, then its a clear bra.

Might look into the paint correction and clear coat and see if I can get that set up for this car, since I'm gonna keep it for a long time lol, and especially living in a desert area would help protect the paint and finish.

Those clear bra seems really expensive lol, and its those Clear film they put on the car correct? I hear that it can get discolored or turn yellow after a while.

Yeah I'm kind of turned off by the clear bra idea. I like the opti coat and then wash and wax regularly. But no swirls.
