Getting my supra tomorrow!

Wind Buffeting is all you really need. Get a feel for the car. Go through the break-in period without modifications (but do wind buffeting, I like the Verus Engineering one, but they all work).

After break-in, push it hard for a while. Get used to it, get used to all the buttons, how it drives, it's quirks, etc.

Bimmercode and stuff is also a good pre-mod thing to have. There's a guide here. Read through it, and do the stuff that will make the car a little more enjoyable. (Mirror tilt, disable fake engine noise, etc).

Welcome and enjoy the car!

Definitely start slow for making your build your own (power and cosmetic/aesthetic mods).

Things you should do ASAP:

• The wind buffeting fix is essential for driving with windows down. Anything from the $9 Amazon fix to the purpose built wind deflectors.
• I'd also get a PPF done ASAP from a reputable shop. OEM is awful and leaves a pretty ugly looking demarcation line where it stops -- not to mention its not enough and is not great value for what you get.
• A ceramic coat does help with cleaning -- not necessary but useful.
• I also got the Weathertech mats and swapped the weathertech logos for GR Supra logos. It does help with keeping the interior clean.
• Definitely look into Bimmercode. BMW held back a lot of quality of life features that are nice. It's worth it for $30 + whatever OBD2 plug in you get. Check out the bimmercode thread.
• A lot of us run different versions of the lip spoiler you see on mine. It's held on by adhesive and is around $400-$600 new (depends on the manufacturer). Quick afternoon install.

I'd really recommend using your complimentary track day to feel the car at its limits and find out its strengths and weaknesses before jumping onto upgrades -- this car is fairly quick on the track even in stock form.

The stock wheels are forged, so I'd recommend getting a powder coat -- it would save a lot over a new set of wheels.

Also, be ready for the Supra tax on all the aftermarket parts.
