Default Looking for first mod advice

So last weekend I just bought a new black 2010 Coupe touring, sports and nav packages.

So with this information in mind, my question to you guys is what is the first few things I should do to this car? Keep in mind that I dont want to void the warranty!

Thanks

I like exhaust as a first mod. The car sounds entirely too tame from the factory.

Yeah I was thinking intake and exhaust. I believe neither one of those should affect the warranty on the car.

I haven't done any performance mods yet, but I'm planning on getting HFC's as my first mod. It's not too expensive and gives you good gains too. If you can do the full exhaust, go far that and just have HFC/test pipes/headers and intakes as you next two mods after that. Good luck and Congrats on the new Z

ClearBra on the hood, bumper and mirrors. Do it before before the chips hit. Don't put it off, it will only cost you more for chip removal as the prep to the ClearBra.

This is what I did first. Seal it up while your paint is still perfect!

Yep agreed. Mine is getting that and the tints done on Sunday. Hopefully I can push then to do the side skirts and also the rear fenders with the price I agreed upon also. I think the sideskirts and rear lower fender flares will get chipped.
