    Replacing lighter "scocket"

    First make sure the fuse is out. You need to take the driver side panel on the side of the console off. Then hold the bottom side of the cigar lighter so it does not spin. Good luck.

    Can rearend gears be gauged by speedometer/tachometer?

    To answer your question. It can be done, but you need to match the year of the car, engine size, transmission and reared. Then match the RPM and speed. So it is not easy. douglasamariani has the easiest way to figure out the rear end gear ratio.

    wave in urethane bumper cover, can it be worked out?

    I don't know if it is the photo or the bumper. But, the bumper looks like it is pulled out from the bottom center causing the wave. The bottom edge of the bumper should be straight across from left edge to right edge. Yours looks curved. If it is curved it you might be able to get it back...
