I've got a 2006 Pontiac Vibe, about 3-4 months old. Has the following mods, not much, but I like it.

I had an '04 Malibu Maxx LT that I traded in for this. POS wasn't shifting right (among other things) and the dealer wouldn't do anything about it. I even had a tech ride along, who saw it slip and shift very hard several times, but nothing. The dealer had just changed management and there were no other dealers near me to service it, and since I had enough of them, I just traded it for a Vibe. I hear very good things about the dealer I'm working with now.

I'm not sure. I bought it from eBay, the auction was for a Toyota Tundra mirror. I can take a look at it later to see if I can figure it out.

Nope, not Hellas, I've heard that you have to do some pretty good rewiring for them to work properly over a long period of time. I just got whatever the local Checker had, high and low tones. Now, instead of sounding like a clown car, it sounds like your typical econobox. At least people notice me now.

I'll see what I can do. It is filthy right now. Every time I think about washing it, we get a dust storm or it rains. We'll see, maybe in a few weeks.

I actually live in Maricopa. It's a little southwest of Phoenix. If you go down I-10 to Queen Creek Rd and go west onto 347, it is about 15-18 miles down that highway.
