Just purchased Mclaren 570s

Excited about our new purchase - got a great deal on this 570s from Mclaren Philadelphia. Already dropped the car off with Soul performance to finish up fitting their exhaust. After that the plan is wheels, rear boot wing, and tuning. I write my own tunes so will be doing that myself. Anyone have input on Vorsteiner flush rear boot spoiler? I like the clean look of that over the bigger wings. We have used them in the past for other projects and want to keep using them. Trying to decide which set of wheels to go with as well. I'm not a huge fan of bright flashy cars for myself to drive around, but really like the color combination with the orange being subtle from the outside.

Spring can't come soon enough! Haven't even been able to test drive this car yet. Lots of salt and rock mix spread all over

Not sure on the LSD - I will have to check into that once we get the car back.
The dealer has a track rental that we will probably try to attend. I have more experience drag racing, but not sure we'll take this car down the 1/4 mile or not.

3 year unlimited mileage warranty, there was an option to extend it but probably won't keep the car that long. I believe Lamborghini has similar? Not a bad deal.

No, but we have tuned and driven a lot of the MP412c. Maybe just because this car is brand new it feels a bit better. I'm assuming / hoping a lot of the bugs from the earlier cars have been worked out. I'll have to see but it may be my preference to the 570s suspension feel over the other cars. I have not driven the car except for on and off the trailer so far, though.

Previous car was aston martin vantage v8 2014 we traded in for this. Prior to that 2015 audi s5 3.0t, and maserati gran turismo mc prior to that.

Here's a small update picture from them pulling the stock parts out of the car:
