Striking color!  I'd wait till the first oil change to get a tune.  Get familiar with the SHO first, what "normal" is, check everything out underhood, etc.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

I have the husky liners too, love them.  I waited 11 months to tune mine, just wanted to make sure everything was sound before potentially voiding the warranty.  Definitely wakes up the beast.  Tune, window tint, and LEDs is all this car needs, IMO.   

Also, don't forget you have ultra summer performance tires.  They are going to suck when the white stuff starts flying.  Get a plan to have different rubber in winter.

Is that for front and back? That's DIRT cheap for weather techs.

Thanks everyone for the advice. I decided to lease- huge incentive under x-plan, so I'm going to go slow with tuning and cosmetics.
I just turned 120 miles and already she feels like a wound up spring ready to unload! I am keeping the revs under 4000 until about 800 miles.

Does any one have any other break-in advice? Also, how do you keep it under 80 on the highway?

congrats. i babied it a little then i remeber it already had a few miles on my brand new car. it sat at the dearlers for almost a year.. I wanna say 400-500 miles.. Anyways after that i just started driving it how ever i felt.  But i do believe in the semi hard break in and vary RPMs, speed, gears, ect when you can.
