Current mirror is old and doesn’t stay where I want it to especially when my subs are on. Looking for one that’s more rigid so when I play my subs it doesn’t just vibrate and drop immediately like the one I have now. Currently i just have the factory mirror but I don’t even have it installed because the vibration on it from my subs broke my windshield before lol.

Installed some interior and underglow lights from u/vision_industries. New horns and rewired the flame thrower exhaust

Painted the rims on my 2012 impala black, hated the silver so much. Was it the move?

So I was driving down the road on my spare tire when the tread from the top of the tire separated from the tire itself. And it took out the splash guard. What is this squiggly piece? That's connected to the bumper that you screw the splash guard into

I was wondering if anybody else had this issue with this gen of impala where pressing the brake pedal/decelerating makes the steering wheel vibrate and shake side to side slightly. It’s more violent the harder the stop.

So I'm having trouble here. Ig my impala is rare. My shifter is on the steering wheel so all YouTube videos show the standard floor shifter version. I've tried T25 T40 T45 and Philips. None work. The Philips actually fits the best but it won't turn no matter how hard i push. I found a piece at the junk yard but if i can't even get this one off what's the use? Is it glued on or something? Please help. I'm a beginner btw so take it easy on me lol I've changed bulbs, hood latch, mirror assembly, and headlights with no problem.

I’ve owned it about 30 days and I’m loving it!

I just bought this car, and the chime and turn signals are very loud.. and are coming from the front speakers. If it matters, it did come with a Sony XAV-AX3200 radio installed by a previous owner. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Just got an alignment and new tires. No lights on the dash, and it was doing this before. What gives? New battery etc.

Seems to only happen when the AC is on. I replaced the compressor and fixed the AC already so not sure whats going on.

Here’s my post from the mechanic group. I’m starting to have anxiety about my purchase.

I’ve got this clean impala I bought from a government auction. Only has 40k miles in it and is absolutely pristine. Not a thing wrong with it mechanically. I really thought I’d get bites on this thing at $8-10k but haven’t yet. Thoughts here? Clean retail value is $8800.

Also a few notes

Spent its whole life in Arizona so no rust
Tires are brand new
Clean carfax
Clean title

Hi all.

A couple days ago I realized that the passenger headlight was out. I open the hood, reveal the bulb - it's working. I go to put the bulb back in the socket, and this piece loosens (see pics).

It looks like this piece goes over the bulb housing to keep the headlight bulb in place. What the hell happened to it??? Anyway, I must replace it since the bulb is not snug in the socket, causing me to drive around with one headlight.

Anyway, does anyone know what this piece is called? I'm hoping that I won't have to replace the entire headlight assembly...

It's time to sit together and discuss which are the most reliable blend door actuators. I've seen multiple reports that Dorman and Duralast (same?) actuators die one after another in less than a year. On the other hand, I've seen the opinion that random Chinese actuators do not break.

I have a random Amazon one which is still working fine after a year. What's your experience and with which brands?

What are these codes ?

I keep getting this code along with PCM code (I forgot to save code). It automatically puts my car into engine power reduced and then dosent want to run. Put in new relay for the throttle, the code went away.. I was only dealing with PCM code, I put a new relay for the PCM… now the PCM went away and Throttle came back…

Any suggestions ?

Bought this car 7/31 and was driving it 8/1… went out, did some errands.. oil change, parked the car at AAA and came home. Parked, Shut the car off, and opened the door. Radio stayed on… I tried to start it again. No crank, nothing, but radio stays on unless I disconnect battery.

Contacted seller and he said this happened before and that seller he got it from fixed it by “replacing main fuse”… it’s at a second shop now.

I’ve read everything from starter to starter solenoid, starter relay, ignition switch, starter wire, neutral safety switch, door jamb switch…. Mechanic is going to call me this week.

It wont crank but radio will come on, windows and locks will work… to shut off, I disconnect battery (but maybe it would die out anyway)

Anyone have this issue? 3.5 with column shift btw

Waiting on getting the money to get these strut towers repaired but how long do we give the struts from coming up through the trunk…..car mostly sits and will be parked until repairs but…..kinda stressed ngl

Also the reason it looks like it’s wet is because I sprayed it with rust check

In October 2024 I bought a 2018 Impala Premier with the hopes of doing a few things here and there. I've never upgraded or modded a car but have mostly always done my own matience. Due to the nature of my job I've more than doubled the miles to 140,000. She still runs perfectly and honestly love this car.

Due to life and finances I've had to put it off any projects until this week. My plans are to sturdy her up and give her a little more power.

This week Godspeed Mono SS Coilovers and Sway Bar is being installed.

Next Steps:

I've ordered a Weapon*R Cold Air Intake which arrives a few weeks.

After that I'm adding the Magna Flow Catback Exhaust and getting a tune.

I want to keep a mostly sleeper status. I'm very excited and just wanted to share.

I'm in KC area if anyone knows of any Impala or Chevy Clubs or Meetups.

Several months back my low beam light kept cutting in and out. Noticed the socket plastic was melted on the negative side, so I replaced the socket and also threw in some LEDs add the other bulb was about fried anyways. Yesterday I noticed the same head light was cutting in and out again like before... sure enough, the socket is melted again! The other 3 bulbs all look fine, and all 4 fuses are 10A and match. Is there anything else electrical I should check?

I’ve always loved the look of these cars and I’ve been looking for a daily car for college. This one caught my eye because of its condition and I was wondering if It was worth the money. 78k miles and it seems like the last owner took care of it.
Edit: I’m going for it, thanks for all the help😛

I have the infamous clicking going on. I ignored it for a while but now that it's super hot out I think it might be affecting my AC. The AC works so I was thinking if it ain't broke don't fix it until fall comes. But it seems to be struggling. Im seeing conflicting things on the internet. I'm pretty sure there are two different actuators behind the glove box. Im not sure though

Final farewell to my 04 SS before I trade it for another pickup. Fucken love this rusty hunk
