Problem is if your washing the car and have your key in your pocket, it also pops the frunk (guess the signal travels thru the water). I usually leave my key in the car when washing, just to keep it from happening, but was at a car wash just rinsing it off and didn't think about it. Also didn't notice it had popped from spraying it off so drove off with it open.

I will leave my fob in the garage while I'm washing the car in the driveway. But, usually I forget to do that until the first time I'm wiping down the front bumper cover and the frunk pops open and I have to put my soapy hands into my pants pocket to retrieve my fob. LOL

I'm just glad it gave me my boost back, and I didn't have to remove the rear bumper... 😂

Just had new tires installed, Continental DWS06+ in stock sizes. Also a Speedtech level 5 cat back exhaust, reusing my stock tips. So far I love it . At idle it's got a low rumble, much better than stock. In cruise you can barely hear it. Have not had the opportunity to drive it in anger or in sport/sport +.

I think you'll really enjoy the Continentals as well.
