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

Check a junkyard for the hubcaps too. I mean since you only need one you might be able to pick one up for about 5 bucks if they have any in.

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.

grrr well i got the rims from some guy on this board a month ago i sent payment but he still hasnt even mailed them...everytime i call hes not there!...well that ****ed me off so im still callin all the time....

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?
