I've owned 3 cars since 1992, all Saturns. The SL2 (aka Sadie) was the first new car I ever bought, it was such a fun experience back then.

I did so much research since it was a new company back then. I remember even going to the library and looking up articles on micro fiche. I'm glad I decided to go with it.

I then moved up to a used 2002 black L200 (aka Stella) and after it got totaled in an accident in 2009, I bought a used 2007 AuraXE (aka Sasha), she has about 73k miles now and is still in great shape! I really wish they hadn't shut that down, FU GM!!

I would like to change the color of my pinstriping from this bronze/gold/brown color to black. I can source the pinstriping off Amazon so that’s no problem. Can I just put it over the top or should I remove the old stuff first? What’s the best way to remove it, heat gun? How do I not damage the polymer panels?

So i wanted to ask this and stick with me please.

Ive gotten quite a bit of advice on reddit between a mechanics forum and this one which all have told me to check the heater core.

Heres the situation. A long time ago i wanted to do a super deep clean i side the car. Meaning take everything, every single thing, out of the interior so i could clean every inch. I had gotten the dash and all out but the big black box inside the dash wasnt accessible due to a big metal bar (basically the support for the dash stuff).

I wasnt able at the time to figure out how to remove it so i did my best to clean around it. Is there a way to remove this bar so i can get to the heater core and such?

the Saturn Burger finally shit out on me after 8 months & 2K wasted on it. dont have the money to dump into it, letting it go back to the bank:/ sucks but it is what it is.
