Default New 2015 F-Type owner from Chicago

Hi everyone,
I am new to the forum. I gave into my mid-life crisis and just bought a 2015 F-Type S Coupe. Wanted a nice car for once before I turn 40. Traded in my 2003 Corolla. The dealer raised his eyebrows and said "oh, a bit of an upgrade"... haha. After a few weeks of research, it was between the M4 and F-Type. So glad I got the Jag - it is so much more distinctive compared to all the BMWs around. I have driven it about 2 weeks and absolutely love it. I actually look forward to driving to work in the morning now. The car is absolutely gorgeous. I get compliments and looks frequently. And I love how the exhaust sounds. I never was much into cars before, but I think I found a new hobby. Very interested to research and learn about modifications.... first order of business is probably to get clear bra or opticoat coating on it. Any advice or recommendations?

Thanks for the welcome guys!

@carid: I was thinking of customizing the look a bit to make it more personalized.... maybe debadging the F-Type and S from the back, tinting the headlamps, etc. Not sure, it's all new to me, and was going to research a bit.
