    Took delivery on Thursday but I’m already thinking of mods. Going to do the following, in this order:

    -Weathertech Floor Liners

    -remove dumb dealer stickers

    -opticoat pro plus ceramic coating

    -ceramic ir tints (resists uv and ir heat)

    -weboost

    -dash cam? Haven’t decided.

    I think these two things will both end up being BIG wastes of money.

    The factory paint almost always outlives the mechanics......or the bad drivers in your state.
    A really LOT of cars go to the scrap yard with shiny paint still intact.

    You can't boost a signal that isn't there.......and if it IS there, you likely don't need to boost it.

    If you do get a dashcam, be SURE that it is not still powered when the car is OFF.

    I think I'd be a fan of the ceramic coating for the paint - not to allow it to 'live' longer, but to keep staining and sap-retention down.

    Weathertech mats - I have them, and I agree with the reviews that they seem to stain, discolor, and always look dirty / stick to dirt even after the car wash cleans them. If there is another high-end brand, I suggest you try it. But the WT does have deep channels to catch ice/snow/water, so you may need it.

    Dash cams are huge, now - not out of popularity, but out of a societal need. Was just told this morning of what the interior facing side of a dash cam caught a Chevy dealership's techs doing to the inside of a 1500 ... cameras were needed years ago. It's a shame that the only company doing multiple cams from the factory is Tesla.

    Check out comma ai, if you are getting a dash cam might as well add open pilot!
