no, but the Q45 is a luxury car and is one of the quietest cars I've ever ridden in.

Like will they stay on easily or do you have to retighten them often? __________________ Tank: (No actual EPA numbers for car just used F/E numbers when i first got it)

I use lock washers everywhere but a good observation on your part! along the way (i'm 55) I learned the value of lock washers when 'adding' things to a car! __________________ *MetroMPG: "Get the MPG gauge - it turns driving into a fuel & money saving game."* ECO MODS PERFORMED: First: ScangaugeII http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...eii-23306.html Second: Grille Block http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...e-10912-2.html Third: Full underbelly pan http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...q45-11402.html Fourth: rear skirts and 30.4mpg on trip! http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...tml#post247938
