FYI, I purchased a window run for the Matrix, part number 6815101051, front left side. It fit perfectly in my 2003 AWD Base and it was a bit cheaper than the GM part. Pretty easy install, although it does make things easier if you remove the inside door trim and speaker to help feed it down the chan...

Nice!

I also installed a "new" horn this week. A dual tone out of a 2003 Cadillac Deville, much better!

I have a buddy that works for GMpartscheap.com . If you shoot him a call he can help you out, his name is Joe C. in the parts department (248) 417-8019 Extension 147 I suggest calling and MAKE SURE YOU TALK TO HIM! Tell him that your friend Sebastian sent you and that he is the only guy that can he...

(removed)! I could've gave my OEM wheel covers to you before I got rid of em. On another note, steelies look fine too if they are painted a good coat of black, with either silver or black lugnuts. I'll probably paint them black for now, until I can find some reasonably priced OEM's. Hopefully I fin...

I agree, they are hideous. Was thinking of just blacking them out. Any suggestions on some decent covers?

Pics are up. Check 'em out here!

Here is a link to pics! Starting some mods. Feel free to suggest mods! I've got LED's for interior and backup lights on the way. New head unit installed. Working out a way to color the dash without replacing the LED's or putting in a 2004 unit. Enjoy! :D http://s979.photobucket.com/user/aheminway/li...

Thanks everyone. Still searching for replacement hood from salvage, as well as a method to fix the hood myself.

Thanks for the link. I've been on the hunt at my local yards for a replacement. No luck yet!

Welcome to the group! Try Meguiars Odor Eliminator if you want to get rid of that old car smell.

I'll try it. TY!

It's a long shot, but if anyone is parting out and wants to sell just the window run OEM part # 88974658, I will pay well for the part and shipping if its in good shape.

chances are you already took care of this, but if you are still interested, I pulled the one in my 2003. Works great, looks perfect. I just bought the vehicle and replaced the unit. Im only the second owner and the car has 38500 on it, so the unit is in great shape! $10 + shipping and it's yours.
