What level of DIY are you planning for your Slate?

I love the basic truck, but am personally considering a cool wrap, fastback SUV kit, and the higher suspension kit! However, I don't even know how to change a flat tire 🄲 lol
I know Slates' motto is "We build it, you make it", so I'm assuming only the blank slate will be delivered and the rest will be up to me or the repairpal center I choose.
Are you all planning to DIY everything? Or go through the service centers?

Maintenance wise, the most common items are brakes and tires which I will probably use a service center for. As for the fastback, I think I could take it on/off but I doubt I will do this very often. Other accessories may depend on the difficulty in installing them. I would like to change the upholstery colors since I live rather South and see a lot of sun.

Maintenance, like brakes, I’d use a service.
Accessories, DYI. Once the SUV mod was in place, it would stay, but I’m enthusiastic about that removable roof panel.

First mod would be to lower the suspension as I don’t like SUVs and trucks’ height, I’m a sedan person.

I plan on painting the wheels, the grill and the top white. Kinda like some of the new Broncos. Love that look. No other modifications.
