Updated my 07 LS wheels from the stock 18" to these 19" LS wheel in black chrome.
Also car has new radiator, water pump, belt tensioner, serpentine belt, control arms and battery. Up next are the spark plugs, seals for both plugs and fuel pumps,valve cover gaskets and rear diff oil. Only a minor leak from right side of valve cover but since it's all coming off why not. The car currently has 175k. Oh and lastly I will be taking it in for the sticky interior soon!
Do you have a bigger pic? And where did you get the black chrome wheels? Thanks!
Completed my spark plugs and all coils. Replaced both inner tie rods. All and all it has mad a difference. Dealer wanted of course $500 to do plugs. Took me just over 2 and half hours mainly because the bolt holding down the battery try was frozen. Had to break the tray around the bolt to free it. Inners took about 3 hours rented a removal tool. I had a small issue on the drivers side but got it free. Just some set up work just to be able to start the job. Not bad for my first time and i got it back together with really no alignment issues.

How many miles on your car when you changed out the plugs? My 13 LS has 50k miles and I’m itching to replace the plugs but these iridium plugs are rated up to 100k miles. It seems pretty easy to replace the plugs on this car.

Not many i had a shop do them in 2016 but they used Autolite. I would say i put around 30k on them. I just wanted to get Denso plugs installed again. It really is fairly easy.

Actually the maintenance schedule specifies they be changed at 60k miles.
If i were you i would get replacement spark tube seals. If you find a bad leaky one too late than you have to stop or do over again. Its the round seals you have to pry out to get some of the coils free. A set of 8 is around 25-30 dollars.

Good tips. I didn’t even know these were there. Thanks!
My car gets 27 mpg going 30 miles on the hwy. I don't know when the plugs were changed last but, I've had the car for over a year now. I do have a new set of Denso plugs but the question is, When do you know the plugs are going bad? She runs great now.
