lol, I would say it's too late, but it's worth asking the dealership. As far as mods go I think it's more 2.5 vs. 3.5 instead of coupe vs. sedan.

For example.....Stillen has body kit parts, springs, rotors, pulleys, grills, for both the coupe and sedan. You can put pretty much and wheel/tire combo on either.

But...There are more exhaust, intake, y-pipe...ect options for the 3.5 than 2.5.

As far as the CVT/manual delema, I think anyone will regret their decision at least a little bit. I got a CVT and there are times that I really wish I had a manual when im in a "sporty" mood, but I love the smoothness of the CVT and not feeling the shifts, and sitting in traffic.

RC is right - in terms of modifications, there really isn't that much more for the coupe versus the sedan - maybe a bumper here or there, but overall, the vast majority of mods work for both cars, as they really are the same internally.

It's the 2.5 vs 3.5 debate that has the difference in moddability...

Ha

that is the craziest thing i ever heard

did you just learn to drive a manual, i dont even know im doing it. its second nature.

i disagree with the whole there are more mods for the 3.5 than the 2.5. Id say its equal, give or take a part or so
