New to me 2005 tl couple questions.


I'm about to take it in to get the timing belt service. Do you have to remove the engine mount on this car to do it? If so, I was going go get another one to give to them. When they replace it.

Other question is are there any dash options? Mine has a couple cracks.

Last one. What are the speaker sizes for this car. I have a head unit picked out just need speakers

The bestest/fastest/cheapest solution to a cracked dash is CoverLay:
The alternative is to buy and install a new dash (reasonable cost, lots of labor) or pay someone to do it. I've seen prices range from $800 to over $1,200 for the job (parts included).


Welcome to the club; your car looks pretty much identical to mine:

you can put an overlay or buy a quality dash cover and cover it up. Unless you can DIY where ever you go be ready to be hit with labor bill also about the speaker they are 6x9 for the rear one.
