    My heater box is shot and I really don't feel like parting mine back together. Has anyone ever installed a universal heater box?

    I just installed one over the holidays it was only $65 shipped with 3 speeds, no defroster option though unless I do some fancy modifications. Works pretty well but looks like and ugly add on hanging under the dash

    You're better off just going with the stock heater box,that would look out of place.

    Yes it really does look put of place I live in CA so defrost in not a major concern for me. I only paid 65 and it does the job and was a quick fix that was the biggest reason I got this one and I did not have one. There are others that are hidden and then you can run ducting to existing vents/defrost, but like I said this one was cheap and fast to install, the weather was getting cold fast and it was the family car, just drove 200 miles with 5 people for the holidays.
