Default NEWB from Iowa

Hey everyone I am a fresh GXP owner. Its a 2006 with the monsoon system and navigation system. I have owned the car for three days and replaced the right front suspension. It was a right front hit and so I need a fender and a new right front rim. I have a few questions that I have spent hours searching over no joke.

1. Who makes good aftermarket fenders?

2. Any good places I can find front bags and aur bag control module (i know there are four options)

3. Who makes the best cold air intake since I have read some people hate the K and N

4-5 I wanted to get four new KV5's but 1 call to tire rack says they dont carry them for the car even though I see them on GXP's in GMLS4. A place in detriot has reman alcoas for 425 a piece.

Is it true that wheel specs are...

‎40mm offset in front, 8"
55mm offset in back 7"
5x115 bolt pattern

6. I know I need a trans cooler and the cars dont come with a spare. But any cars beside the buick super work for a spare?

Thanks in advance,

Jake/

Some spares only work with the rear because of the bigger front brakes.
