Congrats on the new ride. I have had bad luck with vinyl. I am staying away from it on my 2011 X.

I've heard the average whp for a X is ~220whp but simple bolt ons and a tune really seem to work well with this car which is to be expected for an FI vs NA. Get an intake, exhaust and tune and maybe an IC and you'll really start to have some fun

The 2008s start around 220 because of the crappy tune. The 2010+ are more around 250-260ish.

replace the wheels, get bigger spoiler or go with DO-Luck trunk. And maybe go a bit lower.

It looks pretty decent, its actually 3m carbon fiber vinyl. It's in good shape, but I don't know how long its been on there.

They could have done it on purpose so it would be easy to increase the output of the newer model, unfortunately manufacturers care about their wallets more than customers but I guess it's just good business.

Congrats on the buy...! I concur on ditching the stickers, and even MORE on the wheels...! You don't have to get some expensive set of wheels, but bro, "THOSE SHIETS ARE HIDEOUS..." Wheels on WW Evo Xs make or brake them. Other wise, nice WW X. Good luck and show it some love.

That spoiler is the base GSR spoiler. Unless you or last owner replaced it?
