    Does anyone have pictures of the spare tire kit in their spare tire well in the trunk. I bought my GXP used and there was no spare tire kit. The dealer promised to get me one, and I wanted to see how it was mounted in the spare tire well in the trunk. I was also curious what the inflater device looked like.

    I'm assuming you realize the GXP does not come with an actual spare correct?

    Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of mine. It comes packed in a styrofoam (sp?) square. If it were me, I'd tell the dealer to ditch the idea of giving you a kit and have them purchase you a spare tire for a Bonneville GXP.

    There are a lot of us that have the actual Bonneville spare in our GXP's.

    Good luck, sorry I don't have pics for you.

    VDV, I knew there was no spare tire. I just wanted to keep the car as original as possible. The spare from the Bonneville is a good idea. I have been reading posts telling GXP owners to get a Nissan spare that is close but not exact fit on the GXP hubs. I have not heard about the Bonneville spare until now. I take it that the Bonne spare is of the space saver variety.

    Is there anyone able to snap a few pictures of what the tire repair kit looks like in the GXP.

    I talked to my dealer and he is willing to get me a Cadillac DTS or Bonneville Space saver if I am positive that will work for all 4 corners. Should I just have him get me the space saver?
