Brand new 2024 M8 Comp Coupe AW :) :) :)

Ok so just took delivery of the "Snow Beast" as my 2 young daughters call her. Going from a Range Rover sport this thing is an ANIMAL, and very low to the ground lol. Im in love with it right away. So far ive added 12mm spacers to the front and 5mm to the rear, and it's getting tinted today. My one and only qualm is that it seems soooo longggg. like a boat almost. I wish it were like 3-4 inches shorter. Is there a mod that will make it seem less boat like? I feel like ive seen some of them on here that looked better. Maybe I need 21" aftermarket wheels instead of the 20"s? A bigger rear spoiler? Lowering it seems like it would make it become even longer appearing

TL;DR what are some great modifications I can do to make this car seem less like a boat and more like a sports car lol. Hate to complain and im 99% happy with it!

You bought a GT class car, disguised as a sports car. It's big and heavy, but the power and chassis dynamics make it feel a lot more nimble. Give it some time and you will appreciate it more and more as is.

Ok yes this is very true and fair. Well just in general what are some good mods? I already did corner reflector delete (after these pics), and getting tint. Any other great mods to start out with?

PPF the entire car, then ceramic over it.

Im doing ceramic for the entire car. Not doing PPF. It will never be on the interstate so I dont think it's worth $2650 for just the front of the car. I can get entire car ceramic coated for 1400.

I agree with you not ppfing the whole car but given my previous m8 experience i ended up ppfing only the front bumper on my new M8 for 800 dollar and this was the best decision i made and i did ceramic

Stealth PPF on the white and clear on the carbon fiber was the best $6000 I ever spent. The PPF is ceramic coated. I have not washed it since it was put on. Waterless wash and microfiber towels is all you need. There is no paint to scratch.
