Does anyone else get static electricity shocks from their car? Man I swear I get 2-3/day typically when getting in/out of it. Is there a statis TSB out there.. maybe we need a factory recall!

hella! im pretty sure it doesnt happen on leather, cuz my ive tested the 2k i30t. i have a solution. before stepping out of the car, grab on to the metal part of the door, and you wont get shocked. works for me. another way i avoided static before was by touching the metal part of the key against the metal on the inside of the door.

rarely happens to me

i got leather. but just to be safe i always keep my foot against the rocker panels before i step out. never got shocked for that. those static antenna things are real ugly but my friend told me it works real well on his neon. or can go truck styles and hang a chain from a metal part of your car down to the ground.
