HAHA. It was just released a few weeks ago. I doubt anything major has been done yet.

Depends on what your definition of modded is. Got the G-spider wheels instead of the split 5-spoke, clear bra is getting installed on 11/15 and I put a CL sticker on the back windshield before we left the dealership. Does that count

LOL. Of course it counts as modded.

BUT, for me, it is not in the major category. Once it has been lowered and/or kitted and/or larger than OEM wheels and/or intake and/or exhaust (well you get the idea), it gets into the major area. I am not even going to go into FI type mods.

It is hard to do this because we are at the mercy of third-party manufacturers. Who knows when there will be good selections of these types of products.

I consider clear bra a major mod, it costs more then a intake, exhaust, springs, headers, and more. For me cost determines if its major or minor. By the way, how much did you pay for the clear bra or going to pay?

Preliminary estimate is about $850. But I'm going with the custom wrap on the bumper where everything gets tucked in. I want to make sure everything continues to look sleek.

Hmm, where did that idea come from? Could it be Glen? I even got suckered into helping put some on.

Either but for the price of it, you might as well wait a few years and just have it re-painted.
