Just be super-gentle with it and treat it like fine china (Jaguar owners are advised to lightly spray and "sheet" the car only with filtered water, no soap, no touching the car!) until you see the kind of wear that needs extra attention.

Not to get away from the red love fest, but don't buy an HKS downpipe. You want a downpipe with a bell housing or a divorced for the wastegate at the top of it neither of which the HKS piece has.

beautiful car. i have a san remo red and love it. if you wanted to lower it, Cobb did really good with their springs and they are pretty cheap in price. You'll still be high enough for off road if you wanted.
