Great idea there as I am going from driving a 2014 Dodge Dart Limited alone (Which is the fully loaded Dart) back to my Alero since I can drive her again.
Might have gotten lazy with the back-up cam in the Dart

This is what my setup looks like now. (image may be crap; it was taken with a 20 megapixel camera and reduced to 650 px^2)
These are the parts I used, Mr. CharmfulPeace:
Antenna adapter
Class 2 Data Bus Interface
Compact Camera
Head Unit Mounting Bracket
Hope you find this useful!

Nothing at 168k. Cv axles need to be replaced after I flat spotted all 4 tires cuz I didn't fixed the abs wire. Details when I get at a computer.
Motor still great getting 22-24 mpg. My scan gage always say 27 at 75-80 mpg. Leaks oil somewhere and burns oil. Coolant leak at the water inlet. But it took me on a 800 mile road trip and was perfect.

Few days ago...Took out the seats and center console, cleaned the stains in the carpet. Also Cleaned all the door panels and trim panels. Took care of the leather so its not so dry. I got my aftermarket speakers in there. Polk audio in the front and rockfordfosgate in the back.

New Battery
Replaced the battery in my Alero with an Everstart Maxx. Consumer Reports rated it a best buy for the group number. I was hesitant purchasing such a critical piece of equipment from Walmart but I have seen them consistently over the years rated very high.
89 dollars - 5 year warranty

Not so much today but last Sunday. Broke it out of hibernation, charged the battery (factory installed still going) changed oil, checked all fluids, complete safety check. While it was up in the air, cleaned the under carriage and engine bay of cobwebs/dirt. Touched up any undercarriage pieces that were developing rust? It's never seen snow/salt in it's lifetime so don't know why it's doing that.
Car was covered so no dirt, but used detailer with wax in it on the paint and polished wheels.

I drove it around as it hasn't been driven in 2 weeks. I realized just how slow it is compared to my G8...

I drove my Alero for the first time since early last winter. Started up and drive just fine. I think leaving it on the battery tender helped a ton.

Installed a Cosmo Evolution short ram intake, however I didn't use the little Cosmo filter that came with it.. I got a giant (10.125in long x 6in round) Spectre on sale at O'Reilly Link to filter. Had to do a bit of head scratching and backwoods engineering to get it to fit (sri is something like 2-3/4in smallest ring on filter is 3in) I drilled my own hole for the temp sensor rather than adding length to the wire.... in retrospect I should have not used an auger/paddle bit that's meant for wood...hole ended up not so round..shoulda used the Dremel.. eh.. Gorilla Tape to the rescue! Which reminds me.. I forgot to plug the original temp sensor hole.
Yes, yes I know.. pics or it didn't happen

Nice!....though I love DOHC fours, I admit I'm a bit jealous. edit to add... What part of GR ya from BB? I'm over in Wyoming, 36th and Burlingame area.
A little off topic, but...
How hard is it to swap cruise control switches? found a couple aleros in the junk yard with them in real nice condition, mine the lettering is wearing off, and look rather bad. Also what parts would I wanna grab off a '95 Achieva S? other than intake cam.. on second thought I'll grab both cams.. hunting down the exhaust secret cam will be more effort than I wanna do.. also are the cams drop in and go, or is there modification needed? (i.e. take the same timing gears.. I just did timing set in January)
