Wonder if the head bolts / bolting locations are the same on the etec and the ecotec engines....

I only went with 5k bulbs to keep the usable light to a maximum.

Pics in a bit.

I've noticed that my passenger front door speaker rattles quite a bit, even when its not very loud.

Not a huge concern, tho, as I'd like to replace them in the near future with something better.

Wow, Lithia is all the way up in AK? hahaha
