Radiator/Condenser Support Tray Replacement Ideas?

Mine looks like a case study for how badly can one rust and stay in one piece. The paint is chipping off it and I can bend it by pressing on it.

Bar - F/END Tie. (Lower) GM Part #25630889

I cannot find any online. I wonder if somebody would fabricate one?
For those who ask. I have a 1999 ...

Suspension Questions

I was told by a shop that my rear struts for my Pontiac Bonneville 1999 SLE, no ride command, needs to be replaced. Which brands do I need to stay away from? Should I use my existing springs to retain original ride height? Should I get new mounts too? What is a good brand for a good price? I know ...

Re: Car Audio Noobie Questions

What are the dual female connectors for on the pac audio kit. Is it one set of connections for each channel, if so will I need to run 2 sets of patch cables back from the adapter to the amp. About running them down opposite channels, I guess it helps with interference? How hard are the interior ...

Re: Car Audio Noobie Questions

So I am going to make some guesses here hope its right.

From the factory HU I need to plug in the Pac-Audio Adapter you pointed me out to: http://www.pac-audio.com/productDetails.aspx?ProductId=555&CategoryID=28

From there run speaker wires such as these: http://www.crutchfield.com/p_211ZN5210 ...

Re: Car Audio Noobie Questions

I would have to run new speaker cables from the HU out to the Trunk alongside a power cable to feed the amp though right, and place the adapter behind the stereo somewhere correct?

Re: Car Audio Noobie Questions

Great reply Bugsi. I appreciate all of your imput and would like to ask a few more questions. Is it not possible to run a Amplifier from the stock HU, because I would like the car to look as stock as possible, never liked the look of an aftermarket HU in our cars. If it is possible, is there a ...

Car Audio Noobie Questions

Sorry in advance for this post being so long. I have a 1999 SLE that came with factory tweeters and a 7 way equalizer HU, but swapped out that one for my previous HU which has two sliders for bass and treble. With everything that I have read so far, prob a bad decision, but the display worked on my ...

I read an article online and it says i will have to wire more than one resistor pack together to get the right resistance, I really dont know how to do that, do you think that radio shack might know what to do.
