• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Frunk Trouble

    My 2015 RT-S frunk did not latch. Found the latch assy was loose and had moved down far enough to not latch the lid. Loosened the bolts, moved the latch assy up, works good now.:yes: Seems like a manufacturer did not tighten the bolts enough.:(
