Question How Soon Did You Start Modding?

Hey guys, how soon did you guys start modding your IS?

I have an 07 350 with 800 miles on it and was thinking about ordering a CAI and some Eibach or Tanabe Springs.

But then I thought, I haven't had the car for a month yet and maybe everything hasn't settled/broken in yet?

Is there a certain time frame to wait before you begin taking stock parts off and after market parts in?

Well, my first mod was a clearbra, and I think it was 6 days after I picked up the car.

I started modding in a few days of purchasing my car.

I think I spent $1300 before even making a first car payment.

If it weren't late Christmas eve when I got my IS, I would've done mine on the same day.

LOL...
I start moding on a car before I take the car home. ... with Photoshop and browsing every where for ideas...

I usually order wheels first before dealer call me the car is ready for pick up.
