    Curious to know thoughts on quality. The deal right now is almost too good to be true....

    So I ordered a sweet new steering wheel emblem. All the directions pointed to removing the airbag. That was further than I was willing to go just for a small cosmetic mod. Just the thought of putting the folded bag back in wrong was enough to avoid that option. So I unplugged the battery and waited a bit. I finally decided to just try and pry the emblem out. I taped off the area to avoid damaging the airbag cover. I wasn't too worried about damaging the OEM emblem because I despise chrome more than cauliflower and I really hate cauliflower. Surprisingly it came out really easy, it has about six small tags and three large tags that embed it to the airbag cover. The small ones came out but the large ones had to be cut. Once I had it out I cleaned up the area, I readied the new emblem which came with new small tags that insert perfectly. I used E6000 adhesive and slapped that guy on there and pressed it with some gorilla tape for a couple of hours. Airbag mess avoided and looks really clean.

    *The down side: I feel I have created a semi painfull projectile if the airbag ever deploys. :facepalm:

    beat me to it. I didn’t do the tensioner pulley, but the other three were very rusty. Over 90k on them, unless dad changed them out (only place that did his maintenance was the dealership). Sounded like I had a supercharger under the hood.

    Next on the maintenance list is spark plugs. I want to go with iridiums. What ones are the ones to buy?

    Installed my rears a few weeks ago but had issues with the front bushings. I was finally able to get the fronts in. Super happy with the ride quality

    Seems like the general consensus around here is just to go with the OEM which are Denso’s I believe. Though I don’t think they’re iridium.
