 Dealer? If your muffler is shot and you buy a new one at the dealer it
 comes with a lifetime warranty too.

 I've heard good things about weathertech. Almost bought a set of rubber
 mats from them, but found a cheap "cut to fit" imitation on clearance

 My Sony deck does the same thing, stupid thing doesn't even have the
 wiring built in to dim even though the car's harness does. It's got a
