Becuase the one I had was crashed into a snow bank...(because race car) and sounds like a retarded goose. I got my replacement horn off another Cavalier I was walking past in the junkyard. Now...how does one install a horn?? I think I have to remove the bumper...and that's scary!
Picture of my car leaking oil on Canada's Supreme Court grounds... because race car...clearly.

it's wicked easy. I switched my Civic's horn out with a beefier Accord horn, but then it got full of water and sounded like a drowning duck, so I had to switch it back to the stock horn. Taking off the front bumper cover was a piece of cake, I did it a bunch of times. Two screws and a bunch of clips. The horn itself was plug and play.

Yeah I actually went for headlight bolts & shims (the dealer claimed the shims don't exist, but they were on the other cars out there...so there's that). I got those and installed them already. Now if I crash my headlight won't fly out and kill somebody.
My other goodie is a thingy that holds the spare tire in place. When I got my car I in order to get at the spare tire, I torqued that bolt so hard I had to bend the holder thingy. When it's nice, I'll take a pic and it will be obvious.

Right on. Getting the horn out of junked Cavalier was easy...unscrew....and unclip. Just worried about getting the bumper cover off. It's the clips that kill me. Did you get them out successfully or did you have to replace them with new ones for the reinstall?

Nope. So much to do. So little time haha. I (like you potentially) and returning to school in the fall, so I have to do do math everyday to catch up...and work full time....and recover from knee surgery...and waste time on here of course!

They all came out pretty easily, I just used a small screwdriver. I think you'd have to try pretty hard to break them. If you do, you know where there's a junked Cav

Kinda. First you remove the grill, then two bolts, then three fasteners in the wheel wells on each side, then four fasteners on each side underneath the vehicle, then three fasteners on each side behind the headlight...then two fasteners in the bumper fascia and then you can take off the bumper.

Haha so really easy then?!
Just be methodical, keep track of those damn clips, and don't break any! Good luck
