Yeah, it all comes down to how often you detail. The person that I bought my '96 Mustang GT from never detailed and it showed. Carpet was trashed, the steering wheel was horribly mis-colored and the seats were trash. But it had a V8 so... I detailed my Matrix at least every six months...

We all learn the hard way at times. Just glad that you posted here before having the headache of having to remove them from the car or worse yet ... a crash.

Who's the guy that actually sold you two struts of a different brand? That is like getting Kevlar brake pads on one side and cheap organic on the other side. Rule of thumb is to never, EVER, mismatch parts between the left and right side, and to replace those parts together. Always. Monroe...

Is your dimmer switch in the fully up position? The driver's window is labeled AUTO and should be visible at night. If it isn't, check the dimmer switch. The door lock/unlock switch is hidden by the door handle, but I have my 6MT set to lock automatically at speed and unlock by driver door...

Why would you smoke them? LEDs do not respond to tint like halogen bulbs (LEDs will darken up a lot with smoke lenses, an example is the LED instrument cluster lights in the Matrix). They are probably barely visible in daylight with that smoke.

Depends on the package level. The S in base package has 16" steel wheels. Plus and Premium have 17" alloy.

Covers tend to bleed onto parts. I've seen bras do murder on paint. Wheel covers are no different.

Cost you about $60 to get a solid polishing kit and another $70 for ZXEs, so it all depends on you. And the kit comes with the HID and ballasts right?

Nice!

Oh, if you have yellow headlights, restoring them will make a HUGE difference. Try that first with a set of Silverstar ZXEs before spending that money. Maguire's make a good restore kit. Just get one that requires a drill for best results. Another thing to keep in mind is that if you restore...

If you are losing coolant or the water pump has failed, turning on the heater won't cool the engine quick enough and you'll end up warping the head and blowing a head gasket, if you are lucky. If you approach the red zone, turn the heater on. If you go into the red zone anyway you pull over to...

Possibly Amazon, otherwise Google it. Gonna have a tough time finding Altis parts on American websites since we never got it stateside.

I can't tell the difference between those and the standard 2012 & 2013 lights. Amazon?

I have had a blowout (and I initially thought I blew another rear-differential in my '82). Only that one and the car tracked straight. Most of it is probably panic from hearing the bang. I'm use to blowing up cars so I'm not bothered by it anymore, LOL.

Get two of these for the map lights (if you don't know what you are doing, get a professional to install these as it is very easy to cause damage to the lens to get to the bulbs). https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/miniature-wedge-base/194-led-bulb-6-smd-led-wedge-base-tower/1728/4112/...

1. Push the Engine Start button without your foot on the clutch or brake pedal, that is how you get Accessory mode. 2. At night everything should be lit, check your dimmer switch to the right of your power mirror switch. 3. Select Trip A or Trip B with the button on the left of bottom...

I don't have Lo-Jack, so you would have to ask your dealer about that (I have a perimeter alarm system with active anti-theft but no GPS tracking). The tracing you are talking about might refer to the fact that the VIN is microetched all over the car on various parts, so chop shops will get...

That's what a guinea pig is for :-X I'd be willing to wager that 180 whp is pushing it to the limit.
