passenger side 10mm bolts could be:
amplifier bracket
ecu bracket
I haven't dealt with it, but maybe bracket holding ac dryer/blower motor?

Look stainless to me and I don't think I've run across any stainless bolts inside the car...

They are always either bronze or black. But maybe different for 07+? Who knows.

Plus how does a bolt just appear? Lol

CUM TO THINK OF IT...
the 4 bolts holding up the overhead are 10MM...just thin head and barely a washer. they're definitely chrome looking.
I bet you have 3 up there now...

don't drive your car until that's fixed.

I replaced the bluetooth in black...I MAY have taken one call in the 3 years after repair.
I just unplugged it on blue.

I will be paying this guy Jesse to do the oem amp upgrade though...he solders a bunch of science shit into the oem amp and boosts the gain and sound quality considerably...he does something to smooth out and lessen the brightness of the oem tweeters too. Excited about that...should be a good balance with the subwoofer.

NO...
1) i have no ac...and even when I do, I ONLY use it when B is in the car.
2) I think it's rude to be on the phone when people are in the car.
3) I hate being on the phone
4) I hate driving with my windows up.


I hate phonecalls...text me. when i'm done beating my monkey i'll call you back.

Sheeeeiiiiiit...

I use my phone so infrequently for phone things, that my wife told me the other day that my voicemailbox isn't configured so she couldn't leave a message.

I have no idea how long it's been that no one could leave a message.

I went to configure it, but I forgot how to call voicemail.

Had to google it, dialed in, and then just said fuckitall; I don't need this.
