this is what I'm afraid of. TSP downpipe should pass (other than visual) in Ca right? Like it doesn't throw off cels.

nice! not sure witch one my body shop uses but its going in tomorrow to get done.
black roof on a white car looks sharp.

New to this platform as of Sunday. A 2024 FL5 in my favorite color popped up at a Carmax in my town. I drove my FK8 over there to test drive it and then left with it. I already have 3 sets of wheels/tires that will fit, but I will need to find a different legal set for autocross since the OEM wheel size increased. I feel like everything about this car is 20% better than the FK8 with the exception of the factory stereo which is 1000% better (the FK8 was absolute garbage). I'm finding that this car rides better than my FK8 in all equivalent modes which makes me wonder if the PO already installed the ITS ADS module.
Old vs. New:

This happened on day 3 with the FL5:

So I put on my street wheels/tires from the FK8 (255/35 R19 PS4S on Titan TS-5):

I actually am not wild about the TS-5 on this car. It worked better on the FK8.

Side note: if anybody sees a CW FK8 pop up at Carmax in Chattanooga, I can vouch that it is in excellent condition.
