2) can these options be installed after purchase?

both interior lighting and HUD sound like options that require either cut-outs in the interior or specific parts pre-installed. not necessarily something that can just be bolted on. Also, nothing HUD is even mentioned (or else I just missed it, which is possible) in the leaked docs?

3) do we know if the driver DIC will display info such as 1/4 mile, skid, etc (a la Challenger)?
1. It is not known for sure at this point if the ABL ("accent lighting") will be available at the start of production or not. It is felt that it will be, but has not been fully confirmed. The problem isn't fully known, but it is thought that it is due to the lighting itself (described as "light pipes" somewhere I believe). HUD is not available at the start of production. Unknown if the ABL can be installed aftermarket at this point, but I think most believe so. HUD requires some special coating on the windshield, but there are some aftermarket options. No confirmation if it could be installed after.

2. Answered in-line above.

3. No. If you search the threads, either Number 3 or HeatherR described the functions and I don't recall 1/4 and skid being in there.
