Hopefully awhile! 105k oil analysis report came back from Blackstone last week showing the lowest traces of wear metals out of the last 5 samples, so the engine would appear to still be operating well

No issues on cold days really, I’m also very intentional about being careful with the car while it’s cold. I do my best to stay below ~25-35% throttle until I see the oil temp needle register. The car is also very rarely left to sit in the cold. I am usually starting from a heated garage at home or at work. Only miscellaneous errands keep it out in the cold, but usually not long enough to drop it to winter air temp.

Sounds like you’ve got a few good ones on the list so far. My favorites have been pretty subtle. I think dialing in the stance of the car really helped a lot. I went with the KW H.A.S. system to lower the car a little bit, paired with front and rear spacers (either 10mm Front / 12mm rear or 12mm Front / 15mm rear I can’t remember)
Then I would say adding the black kidneys up front (at least with my spec) paired with the M Performance lip spoiler & rear diffuser combo. Modernized the look of the car while adding some refined aggressiveness to the look
Third I would probably say the interior M Performance CF parts and CF paddles. And the ceramic control knobs too. Obviously you spend a lot of time inside the car so the things you touch and see inside the car shouldn’t get overlooked
