Re: Painted iroc wheels?

The center cap bases were the original ones. I cut the inserts from 2012 cruz ( I think?) centers to fit inside and glued them in.

Re: What the FREAK? Where is it coming from? HELP!

Did you pull the carpet back on the passenger side and check under it for a puddle still not dried up? The carpet is rubber backed and can be sopping wet underneath and feel dry on top.

It's wired to the park brake for standards and neutral safety switch for autos. The idea is so you can't pop the hatch accidentally while driving down the road.

The base needs to be grounded but the mast is insulated from the body. If you go that route I would just pony up for a hidden antenna. Do a search, they're all over the web under $30.
