    Aftermarket as in "a replacement to the OEM one but looks the same", or as in "looks different than the OEM one" I know nothing of this cars, so I don't know what it should look like "stock" I do know that it is not a really good paint job on it. at some point someone wrecked the front and painted it, and thats probably what happened to the hood. It looks stock with labels and everything but the clear coat is all gone on most of it, while the rest of the car's Original paint is still blinging.

    Aftermarket bumpers are different in they couldn't get the licensing rights to stamp in the Pontiac Arrow between the grilles and the Pontiac letter just below the drivers light. So it has been replaced.

    You will need the Axxess GMOS-04 wiring harness kit. If you want the steering wheel controls you will need a PAC steering wheel kit, I forget which one I think SWI-RC.

    What warning lights do you have on the dash?
    I want to set my fans to kick on sooner along with a thermostat to match.
    what steering wheel controls are you taking about? to control the aftermarket radio with the steering wheel controls? I don't care about that, all other steering controls work and those are the ones I care about.

    I have all warning lights on the dash lit up, TC, Break, Service, etc. and every time I start the car I have to clear the same warnings on the computer display. the previous owner said that when he removed the OEM radio they call came on and stayed that way. I will look behind that radio and see what kinda install we are talking about.

    That makes sense and explains a lot, thank you. I kinda like it, since I am planing on removing all badging other than the GTP on the trunk and the CompG on the door.
