What mods should I do next? - Page 2

As far as aesthetic mods, I think you would be happy with rim/tires of your choice. (I know you are considering ZLE wheels.). I thought the OEM wheels looked pretty good and I really was skeptical that new rims would make much difference as far as improving the looks, however I went with HREs solely due to my frustration with cleaning the OEM wheels combined with the fact that one wheel was scraped up. I was pleasantly surprised that the new rims really do look significantly better and with slightly wider rear tires with serious tread pattern/lack thereof on the R888Rs, looks more aggressive.

Hopefully orientation is correct. I apologize for the filthy pipes, etc.

What about:

Ported throttle body

Intercooler reservoir

Performance spark plug wires

P3 vent gauge

I’ve done all of the above to mine. The TB and wires should be good for a few ponies. I’ve has great luck with Granatelli’s “0 ohm” wires. I have the reservoir kit from ADM, which has been working great so far. And the P3 gauge setup is pretty cool. It’s nice having a real coolant temp gauge and other data without breaking out the laptop. It’s really clean looking too.

The wheels aren't that bad to clean if you use the proper procedures. What's your current setup and process? Maybe a question for the detailing section. Mine are sealed each time I deep clean them with CarPro Hydro2 and then I clean them with Adam's Wheel Cleaner, a soft brush for the face and a whoolie for the barrels. Less than 3 minutes a wheel and clean enough to eat off of.

I would definitely do the red shift paddles. not hard to do at all.

performance side, a ported throttle body would be my choice.
