Fingers crossed. And you really shouldn't have to worry about the IMS on 06 and up. So far, extremely few issues on that bigger, sturdier bearing. Hopefully that continues as the kilometres roll.

Yes, that is another hope after a lot of research and one of the reasons I went with an 06. I took note of the serial number of the motor, M96/2561605638, and verified the build date of January 2006.

I still got a warranty just in case.

Gave the front new rotors, pads and sensors and installed the alpine speakers up front. Okay it wasn't today it was a few days ago and it took me a couple of days to get it done.

For some reason the photo rotates when I upload it.

Nice. How do the alpines sound up front and which model did you go with? I have a pair of alpines I am going to replace the dash speakers with and also got the rear speaker kit to install. Hopefully will get going on that soon.

This will improve your sound 2 fold

Installed two parking lights in my headlights. Pulling the whole headlights out is pretty easy.

I used the Alpine SPS-410 and followed the DIY video on using the old speaker mounting ring. Sounds so much better.

Great to hear. Those are the same I have ready to go in. Glad they sound good!
