Thanks Cal. Jeffrey has joined a 4th gen forum and I am thrilled that he has finally gotten the bug. Being that this is a FGF forum I'll post a few pics here in this thread on his behalf for those who know me and for those who have also met Jeffrey.
We installed his new 7" LCD touch screen head unit and backup camera system yesterday ($200 Amazon, hard to believe what you can get for this money on Amazon). Came out great! All new speakers as well in their stock locations behind stock grill covers keeping everything nice and clean looking. Also changed the oil/filter, fuel filter, rear end gear oil. This morning finishing up the Radio install then changing the plugs.
We did decode the dates on the tires and did find that they are 8/9 years old so they must go. We called everywhere, looked on line, TireRack etc. Just about everyone was $550-675 for a set of 4. Walmart, good ole Wallyworld, set of 4, mounted, balanced, new stems, lifetime balance & rotation $455 out the door for Goodyear Viva tires! Read the reviews on them and all in all a decent tire at a very good price.
He wants to pay for everything on this car himself so he is trying to stay within his budget. He will be starting a part time job this summer after returning from spending time with family in NY in June. So after the 4th of July he starts working and that's when "life" begins". A job, car and we all know what comes next... LOL
