Absotively! First thing I did. Though the antenna was allegedly "pre-tuned", I had to actually snip about half an inch off it to get it tuned well.

Actually, it's only a 4-watt radio. Nothing special, just something to keep me awake during my 3-hour commutes back and forth between Jersey and Maryland.

Got my red LEDs for the dash today, *******s lied when they said i didn't need resistors.
So i decided to replace all the burnt out warning bulbs.... It's alarming to be when the Maintenance required light is burnt out.

BTW what would cause that light be be on, lol. I don't like it. I know my "Check Antilock" light was on (Until i disconnected it, ABS tried to kill me a while ago so i pulled the fuse). Would that cause it?

Eh, Check engine lights are pretty useless. Had a bad 02 sensor, light goes on. Motor blows up, computer doesn't notice a thing.

I've got to agree with this, whenever my CEL comes on I hop out to check it, it's been right where it's supposed to be every single time...
