I don't see anything that needs to be covered. Looks great, never taped anything on my car yet.

Start with 40 PSI in each tire then let air out as needed for more traction. Just try to be smooth and hit your apexes. Brake before the corner and power out of it. Other than that just have fun.

Don't know if you'll be up before heading out to the track to see this, but we have an awesome guide in the Road/AutoX section of the forums.

I would say generally just have fun and stay safe for your first track day. If your running on oem brake pads and fluid, you'll probably quickly find out that's one of first upgrades you want to do.
