I know people turn off the traction control (hey VJ) but I think it's crazy. Sport mode offers all the excitement and drifting ability you will ever need, no need to tempt fate by feeding 416 raw hp into the rear wheels.

a little update on the car… painted the calipers! yes I did it myself it doesn't look that great but it was cheap… lmao!! not sure I'm digging the yellow on the white, thinking I should have probably went with blue for the calipers.

what you guys think?

also send the headlights to get painted I didn't have the guts to try that one!!

I used the VHT caliper paint, the passenger side I left them on and used a brush and spary paint for the final coating I didn't like how that side turn out!
So driver side I took them out today and just used the spray paint they turn out much better...
