Its a 6 speed manual. And yeah, so far I've Tinted the windows 20%. I also just plasti dipped the wheels. I was very hesitant to do the plasti dip. I thought it would be tacky and I only want to do tasteful upgrades. But I did it because I really wanted the car blacked out and I can't afford the 19" AMR staggered charcoal or black wheel package yet. So I did it, and it turned out fantastic.

I've also ordered the Roush exhaust, and I'm wanting to do the Bama 93 octane tune but I'm concerned about the whole #8 cylinder issue.

Congrats on the car, and welcome to the club. Don't be scared about the cylinder #8 issue, way too many people on here have blown it out of proportion. WAAAY WAAAAAYYY to many.

American Muscle's in house tuner's BAMA Performance warranties their tunes in the case that you have one of the dreaded cylinder #8 failures. You can find info about it here:

Welcome dude, nice ride. Let's see pics of the blacked out look. I like you think that is the way to go.
