Having owned your car for a year, what do you wish you had done after owning it a couple months or immed after purchasing the car that you didn't do? Sounds unusual but I think you catch my drift, thanks in advance for all reply's, Jacob.

I like what I have and I wouldn't change a thing.

Probably would have stuck with my original taupe order, instead of getting this black one that came in. The owners had ordered it with the roof rack(not something I would want again). I never use the stinking thing.

Do " coming up on 2 years " owners count?
I'd have .....
Put less money into little "mods" that I then changed for "bigger mods" (one example: I originally had pin striping & a belt line which was removed pretty soon after the hassle of getting it "just so"...so I could put my flames on).

I can't tell you how much $$ has gone in the garbage over poorly thought out mods that are later replaced with the type of stuff I never thought I'd really end up doing ( but did).

Wouldn't change a thing! I'm more grateful for the things I did do immeadiately taking delivery...Like Zainoing her within the week! She still has an outstanding finish and shine( of course, she also has about 6 coats on her!)

I think I would have purchased the "extended warranty",
AND the "service policy".
75K miles for a service policy I bought, was a good idea, but I would have used the warranty, just as much.

I still love it though, and it's stock!
