I got a quote for a set of Continental ExtremeContact Sport02s today; $1089.66 with tax. I know everyone loves Michelin Pilot Sport 4S's but I've had good luck Continentals. My only issue is waiting for the oem tires to wear out. I only have 2200 miles on them.
There’s a cure for that.

2nd set of wheels. :like:

There's a thought.

I got stuck in the rain for the first time on Monday night and feeling the car losing traction was disconcerting.
How long can the Bridgestones last? 10,000 miles?

But an email today said the sway bars I ordered are shipping. I'm hoping that will give me more contact, at least when it's dry.

That's a good price for the tires, where is that from?

I asked a friend who's a parts manager at a dealership. They get deliveries from Tire Rack every day. They still make a little money and I pay for the mounting and balance.

Pro Tip: Always bring 2 dozen donuts to a dealership. Nothing makes you a favorite customer like pastries!

So the Apex VS-5RS center caps are not my favorite plus I wanted it to be the same color as the wheel. The other issue is it’s smaller than oem center caps( 2.5 vs 2.25 inch) so I had to look into a custom set that could be somewhat oem + looking. I found these and hopefully the color matches.

I ordered the EOS muffler delete pipes and a Stillen TruControl. I am also planning to perform the 3 pin removal mod on the amp plug to disable the noise cancelation. Does anyone know if that also kills the fake engine sound?

5 or 6 coats of Cerakote paint sealant - i lost count. I washed her last weekend and ended up not driving her last week. I added a coat almost every day after work.

driving her this week and this morning felt like an extra 100hp now that it’s boost season.

I did a clay bar and 4 coats of Griots ceramic 2 weeks ago. It’s a lot of work but it looks great and nothing sticks to it. I go for a drive and wipe the bugs off using the ceramic detailer. Where’s the pics?

Your dealer should definitely be able to do it for you. Mine did not charge me. It only takes them a few minutes and is reversible. If you search the forum there are screen captures here somewhere of the submenus the technician will have to enter to switch off ANC and ASE. I printed those and gave them to the tech so he knew exactly where to look.
