    The hard part is getting underneath it. Take a cresant wrench- unplug the old, take the old one out, put the new one in, plug it in. TADA your done.

    Finishing stock painted wheels

    You are right! The center piece paint looks real good. I'm also glad the rest of the car turned out so good (I have been following the story). Good luck Monday.

    Finishing stock painted wheels

    I've ben taking my painted wheels off and scrubbing them since I bought the car. I too found the refridgerator brush a help between fits of anal retention. And I've also wondered about was getting the wheel painted the same color of the car (in my case pewter). I saw white wheels on an ad and...

    "Quiet Ride" Compartment Divider

    I bought a divider about a year ago from MADVETS. Paid a bunch and was dissappointed with the fit. If you have a cargo mat the partition doesn't fit right (my own stupidity).

    My 99 C5 won't go!!!

    I'm sorry that it happened and I have never heard of that happening before. Was it cold out or the battery old? Sounds like some of the freaky stuff that can happen when the voltage is whacky. Just a thought. ;shrug

    too tall for c5

    I'm 51 and 6-5. I fit in my '99 hardtop just fine. It was harder to get in and out of the 94 coupe. My wife and I drove with the caravan to Bowling Green last year and the ride didn't get old at all. Keep looking for the right seat set-up and you'll be fine.
