OK I just got this new to me 2020 MYP and LOVE it. Have had it for a few weeks now and blown away by the acceleration. As with any car I own, Id love to mod it so I need some suggestions ...
Tow hitch - I plan to use it to tow a small harbor freight trailer with a few dirtbikes, maybe a kayak, and also use a 1UP bike rack. Was looking at Ecohitch, Uhaul, or OEM. Ive got a full shop and am used to turning wrenches so home installation wont be an issue for me. Its also preferred since Id hate to lose AP while towing a small trailer around. I went ahead and ordered Ecohitch from Teslarati however its been 2 weeks and Ive never heard anything back from them. Is this a decent vendor ? I may cancel and just go with Uhaul, or even install a Tesla OEM hitch I found used. I picked the Ecohitch since I like how it retains the crash bar while other 2 options dont. The Uhaul and OEM version seem similar except I like the OEM version wire connector better. Has anyone installed OEM hitch themselves and plugged into existing wire harness WITHOUT updating to the tow software ? Is this even possible ?
Other mods I was considering were the RPM (or even CMST) carbon (look) front splitter, rear diffuser, wing, mirror caps, steering wheel. Anyone with any experience with this stuff let me know. Also, Mr Emblem has an awesome carbon steering wheel - any reviews on that ?
Lowering - Id love the car to sit about 1" lower. Any suggestions here ? Full coil overs from unplugged ? Or perhaps just their "moderate" springs ? Has anyone gone this route and have any input ? If lowered 1" would I need to correct camber/toe more than the factory adjustment (buy adj toe bars) ? Would lowering springs on OEM shocks create a bouncing ride ?
What other mods should I be thinking about ? Already looking to tint the roof pretty deep, as well as windshield to 50 or 60%. Has anyone tinted headlights or tail lights ? I like the look of the white headlights so may leave those as is (plus I would hate to dim them any). The rear tail lights look like they came off a Camry so I gotta darken those, ditto for the rear bumper reflectors.
Sound system - I know this sounds ridiculous as this easily the BEST OEM sound system Ive heard in a car yet but is there any not super $$ mods that would make it even better ?
Radar detector / laser shifter - anyone tackle this yet ? Was looking hard at the Escort Redline 360c and maybe the AL Priority systems for this. I know there is no integration for waze police locations, is there a good iphone mount to the side of the screen that would also charge the phone?
As always, any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated. Cool puddle lights or other interior lighting ?
Buying this car has resulted in 2 solids weeks of internet surfing at work I better get back to work but this car is so awesome its hard to not wana figure out more ways to customize it !
