Find a 1/2" 8 point socket for draining the differential. You can get to the fill plug o.k. but the drain plug is up inside the carrier. It's a generous 1/2" so you might want to get a 9/16 as well. The next time I drain mine I'll be dressing the plug head to fit the 1/2" more closely.
Use the Moroso Climbing Gear Lube for the rear end with additives. Check the manual for what is recommended.
ERA has both mats and covers so check with them.
Normal coolant is a 50/50 mix with Redline Water Wetter. Don't know what your radiator is made out of but the newer cars are using aluminum. Coolant as appropriate for the metal.
Check the ERA forum for a ton of good informations in the car.
Congratulations on the purchase. Email me if I can be of any help.
