What do i do about my broken antena, crappy speakers and missing hubcap? (95 GXE)
What do i do about my broken antena, crappy speakers and missing hubcap? (95 GXE)
I got a 95 GXE and just got my license - wee!
Three problems though:
1, my antena is broken, not just like bent in half broken, but broken then ripped out (like antena + the metal cord thing that goes deep into the thing...) Now i really dont want to pay a couple hundred to fix this, is there something a lot cheaper some sort of replacement antena that ACTUALY works?
2, My bro was using this car before and he put in a Sony Explode deck. He turned the D-base (i think thats it) up a lot and had it parked in the sun too, so the paper cones on the back speakers (stock) are cracked! (NON BOSE SYSTEM) I just need to replace the back speakers then im fine, but what are some decent speakers i could buy? I dont need anything too crazy or expensive, just speakers that are atleast as good as the stock ones.
3, Missing hubcap! I dunno i think my bro was driving to berkly when it flew off magicly! Anyways i need one, i suppose if i get a brand new one it would be expensive and look kinda funny since the other ones do have some ware on them. Where could i get 1 95GXE hubcap?
4, Not too fixable but the sides got key (basterds!) and i tryed gx27 or whatver the heck it was and it didnt work that good, but is there anything to remove scratches from a key?

I would get new speakers.... Price em out at local shops, cause usually you can find some good buys.
Try Ebay for hubcaps. Sometimes I see em go for 15 or 20 dollars a set.
And the antenna, this would be a good chance to replace it for a stylish one.
Just my 2 cents

I have a practically new and working power antenna assembly from my 98 if it fits your year i can sell it to you. just send me a private message. I shaved eveything and don't have an antenna hole anymore so have no use for it.

Ok, now about the paint, i looked at paintscratch.com, and it seems so doable, but will it really come out like the original or atleast somewhere there? Any personal experiances?
Also, the antenas, well if i buy a aftermarket one from online or whereever, how the heck does it install? Is there an antena wire that i connect or something, does that wire come with it and u just connet it or what?

If it helps I have the full four speaker stock setup of oversized 6.5 speakers out of my 99 GXE and I plan to replace the stock GXE hubcaps with different ones for daily driving...you can send me an e-mail if you want to discuss getting any of these...can't help you on the antenna location but I replaced mine and it only cost me like 35 dollars for the part.
yes - the paint will come out nice - if you do it right..... the speakers for the front and back are 6.75, you can also use 6.5 oversized as wizza mentioned.

One more question, what are the exact speaker sizes for both front and back? im guessing its around 6.5 or so?

About the antenna u guys gave this site:
http://procarparts.com/store/display...tegory=Antenna
is it any good? Does it actauly work? Like do u connect ur antenna wire to it or what? This other online store has a mast for a 95-99 for only 22 bux i thought isnt that a good deal?
Also about the speakers ive been looking but i dont know any good models or anything....
One more prob, someone keyed the side a long time ago (both sides. grr) and someone said goto paintscratch.com is that place any good, how easy is it to put on the paint?
