First things first. Get rid of the license plate holder and slap a clean impact strip on that front bumper. Trunk needs to stay open while I load and unload kids hockey gear, so 2 new stabilus lifts, same for the hood, it kind of stayed up, but new ones were put in. The center tray in the center console was starting to crack so a new one was installed. It took my kid about 10 minutes after left Chicago to break the front cup holder, so a new one was installed.

I did not have record of the primary timing chain tensioner being replaced, so I slapped a new INA brand one in. Really very easy job that just takes about 20 minutes. The original appeared to be in very good condition, and had plenty of spring left to it. The updated version has a longer spring, but there really was nothing wrong with the one I removed. I suspect people who have tensioners that don't move well, or where the spring seems to have collapsed and cause rattle at startup have cars that saw extended oil change intervals.

I also dropped off the stock style 66 wheels off to get some continental dws rubber installed.
