Interior parts are easy to find at any junkyard that has a couple proteges in it. Both of the ones near me usually have at least 5 or so at a time.
As far as performance parts, there are plenty of threads on that topic. You can delete the VTCS flaps, flash the ECU to the MP3 tune, lighter flywheel/crank pulley, motor mounts, lighter wheels, FSZE intake/Corksport exhaust cams, adjustable cam gears, CAI/RAI, header, high flow cat. A tune up will always help make the most power if you haven't done one recently.
but it's a awesome color.So what's up guys! Little issue here, I have a squeaky belt, but I can't find out the problem. I've checked the belt itself, but it's brand new, and there doesn't seem to be any wobble on the belt as it goes through the pulleys. The sound seems to be conning from what I believe is the AC thing.

New belts stretch a bit after installation.
Check your belt tensions again.
A good rule of thumb is to reach in there and twist the belt... You should be able to stand it up sideways but not turn it upsidedown.
It's supposed to move 10 mm at the middle of the belt but that can be hard to measure and judge.
Loose belts squeal but over tightening can wreck the bearings.... It's a difficult balancing act.
