Once I purchased my Saturn Sky, I immediately started making my own modifications to it. Including items such as adding a new Pioneer 4200NEX head unit, LED headlights and interior lights, a new Cold Air Intake, Painted Calipers, Plastidip wheels, and more. Check out my videos on how I did these mods as well as other maintenance items.

Installing the Santana Aluminum Cup Holder in my Saturn Sky.
In this video I replace the crappy plastic side cup holder that seems to always end up breaking. I use the Santana aluminum cup holder and it looks and works great. Problem solved.

I had it on my E90 for 4 years. Works great but it went bad recently. I don’t know if they will check on it
I wouldnt give RPM Motorsports a penny of my money, after they tried to scam my neighbor at their shop in Mesa, AZ. Tried to say his brand new Chevy dealer installed Turbo was bad, and that they wanted to sell him one for $1,600 +
I enjoy your Sky videos.
Nice shades mike
I installed my Pro-Beam today. I really appreciate your video because the instructions really suck.... Thanks for the help!!! 👍👍👍
I was always told using a hammer like you did will cause damage to the bearings a very expensive CV joint replacement in the near future?
You get more accurate times by testing with an automatic transmission. This video is pointless because it depends on the accuracy of your manual shifting.
This guy looks like and has the same name as my dad
Thank you for posting. I've got to get one for my 2007 Sky!
Thanks for sharing your experience. This helps a lot.
How did u get it to stop spinning
I used these exact 303 products. The 303 Fabric Guard left a white residue! Help!! Some suggest I applied it too heavy. How do I clean the residue off????? 😢

Just saw your car go up for sale and immediately recognized it. No idea we lived in the same area! Hope the next project is something else sweet! Appreciate all the videos and advice, your effort will live on in my Sky.
Awesome and thx just got my 2006 Solstice
Get rid of the music!!!!
Hi Mike, I have watched almost all of your videos, thanks for the content. I just upgraded my steering wheel to the same one as yours. Thing is I now have a "service airbag" message. Did you get this code also when you completed yours ? ..... I did happen to break one of the small yellow safety clis for one of the air bag plugs. Could that be the issue ? Any thoughts would be appreciated. DO you know where I can buy a new clip by chance ? Thanks, Andrew
Hi Andrew. It's 100% the clip causing the issue because I did the exact same thing. I don't think you can buy them separately. I happened to have someone on Facebook send me one of their extras from an old airbag they weren't using anymore. So I would suggest reaching out to people on the Facebook groups to see if anyone has a clip available.
Hey Mike, great videos. Do you happen to have a link for map/rearview mirror lights that will actually completely shut off? I purchased some and they work great but they stay on very dim even after shutting the car down and it drains my battery. I tried the link you have below your video but it can not find the page. Do you remember what you purchased or know which ones I can get that will turn off the way off? Thanks so much!
5 year old video helped me out today. Followed everything got it done fairly quickly
This folk talks and talks and I cant hear sh#t man! Speak louder next time my friend.
I am farrrrrr beyond mutants as they are beyond you...
That bloody music-can hardly hear you.
came across your video and thank you so much! I used the easy method and prestro!!!!
Helpful tip - The new studs good in much easier if you stick them in the freezer for a couple hours before installation.
Wdym plz explain

Instead of the special tool use a bunch of washers
Be thankful it's a manual top. You have no idea how expensive it is to repair power tops. Owning a 2002 Saab convertible, power top repair easily costs more than the car is worth.
What kind of stereo do you have in it?
Such a shame we didn't get this car in the UK, sold as a Vauxhall. I would have brought one.
That was a good demo on taking off the switches. Thanks for the help and ideas thank you Sir
Do you know where a vehicle wheel- well is located?

السلام عليكم.فيديو جيد شكرا .كنت اريد برنامج يقوم بفحص ABS AND ESC OFF
Very informative Mike. Thanks.
Looks like soaking for an hour would be the easy way.
Why all the non-specific terminology? Such as "Now plug this little thingy in here (while partially obscuring the connector you're working on).
Never mention weather conditions about car. I live in midwest there is no way a car like this can handle snow
Thank you for a very informative video. Currently I am looking for a solstice or sky, you answered a lot of questions I had.
I already changed the thermostat and all the plastic and questionable hoses. Still getting a glitch with the temperature gauge and engine heat light that stays on for just a few minutes and then goes back to normal. Censors next

Thanks for the video. It was helpful. After many years of driving Fieros, I've had 5, I'm picking up my 1st Sky on Friday. 2008 with 54k miles. Unfortunately it is an automatic but I got a great deal on it. I'm looking forward to having it. They look like fun.
Thanks. I'm gonna try too..
thanks for the vid I just ordered a wheel stud installer to help me out
Can't hear and understand you try doing this in your garage not in the car
I am confident that I can take mine apart now thanks to this video. The red and black is a nice color contrast, but the original leather appears to be a much higher quality than the vinyl looking cover. I think I will try to redo my seat as close to original quality as possible. Thanks Mike
I thought it only took a day to install?
