Sure thing man ! The gap on my old plugs was over 0.050 and the new ones pre-gapped at 0.042..
Dealer said 0.044 is recommended for my engine..
Good luck with yours !

Mine is happy and fun. Wash and detail every weekend. Low mileage each week.

Panorama sun/moon roof started acting stupid so I pulled the fuse as I NEVER use it. It would open on its own driving down the highway
Everything else has been predictable due to normal wear and tear.
Super clean always, so one can eat off the engine bay.

Love this ride, love the push on hard acceleration, love the comments that people I work with thinks it is new.... Clean=new !!!

My friends and neighbors are snobs. They ask me when I'm going to upgrade to a new model when I add or upgrade parts on my car.

RB, those new headlights looks nice. Post some photos after you got them installed.
