I didnt document the process but i will snap some pics. there isnt a whole lot to show.

i've managed to remove the stock flasher module removed but not without breaking some pieces. at least i've got my flashers back to normal speed.

oolunchbox

So I've got my LED-ready replacement flasher, I know where the flasher module is located, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to remove the factory flasher unit. Clearly they are able to be replaced (otherwise why would manufacturers make replacements?) but I just cant seem to get it to b...

i just did some looking. I was wrong, it was a 2005 vibe at the 2004 SEMA show. Pics can be seen starting here. http://www.genvibe.com/gallery/SEMA04Vibe?page=2

oolunchbox

when that kit was designed they lowered the car 2". From the original pictures there was very little clearance between the bottom of the body kit and the ground. look around and see if you can find the SEMA 2005 photos, im pretty sure the vibe that the kit was originally made for was there and ...

I have switched every exterior bulb except for my headlights to LED. I dont have pictures yet. I will try and get some soon and post up a garage thread.

oolunchbox

I've done some more research and found the the flasher Module is not in the fuse box. I'm not sure where it is located yet but I've found that both AutoZone (http://www.autozone.com/autozo...=57-0) and SuperBrightLEDs.com sell the compatible flasher modules. Once I get mine in I'll figure out where ...

oolunchbox

nobody knows where the flasher relay is?

oolunchbox

I would love to do this as well. Anyone have any more information on this?

oolunchbox

I understand that, I am just trying to figure out which relay I need and where it is located in the fuse panel so I can order one that is LED compatible.

oolunchbox

I've successfully switched out all of my exterior bulbs for LEDs (except the headlights) and I am now running into the "hyper-flash" issue. I've tried looking at my fuse panel to find which flasher unit I need to order to correct this problem but I cannot seem to find it. Does anyone know ...

oolunchbox

Thanks for the write-up. Besides my shaky hands from drinking a Monster before attempting this, it was a pretty quick and easy mod and looks great with my LED fogs.

oolunchbox

Well, got the wheels and they look nice, unfortunately I ran into some financial roadblocks (the girlfriend wanted to get a cat, and we moved to a new place). Since winter is approaching here in Chicagoland I figure I'll wait till the spring so I don't wreck the kit on the snow and ice.

oolunchbox

After about 2 months of being told "They'll be in in another 2 weeks," I finally got my wheels from WheelMax. They're nothign super special, but they look nice and they were inexpensive. I'm looking at maybe getting the GrafxWerks centercap overlays, I cant decide. Now that I've got them I...

oolunchbox

Mine should be going on at the end of the month. I'll post pics when it's finally on. I've been waiting on wheelmax to get my wheels back in stock cuz I'm not gonna be seen rollin a vibe with a bodykit and hubcaps.

oolunchbox

ive got all the badges in the pewter metallice with reflective black borders all the way around on my shadow. Most of the pictures of the bordered badges (in pewter on shadow) on the grafxwerks site are of my car. i really like it because from afar it looks debadged but when you get close you can se...

oolunchbox

ive actually got #2 ordered from wheelmax, theyre on backorder right now (the hyperblack ones at least), so i vote #2.

oolunchbox

A how-to on making a custom bodykit.

oolunchbox

theres a link to group buy information on the site. if anyone's interested we should see about getting genvibe setup with a GB price. i'm in, who's with me?

oolunchbox

SLP makes one that works with the stock air box (with some minor modifications). You can see and get it here.

oolunchbox

When I asked for a quote from a local bodyshop they told me 800 to 1200 depending on how easy it went on. That's paint and install without the kit on hand. I plan on taking the kit in to get a better estimate.

oolunchbox

i just got my kit in today! It'll be a while before it's installed cuz i wanna get new wheels before i put it on, plus i need to save some $$ to have it painted and installed. i'll post pics as soon as it's done though.

oolunchbox

im wondering the same thing. ive had an eye on ebay as well but no luck yet.

oolunchbox

I've found the best way to get in touch with them is to just call. their number is on their website (417-455-2211). I've alway gotten right through and Dawn seems to know exactly whats going on with the kits and I'm sure if she doesn't know something she'll be more than happy to find out.

oolunchbox

Quote, originally posted by redlava Â»By the way you are describing it it sounds like they will be using one of the things they sell on the infomercials. The glue is put onto the car then a suction cup is applied to the dent then the suction cup is slowly unscrewed pulling it back and pulling out th...

oolunchbox

i actually talked to dawn about that yesterday. They wanted the kits to ship with the front all filled with matchingmesh not the grilles but when aerogear made the kits they left the mounting holes for the grilles on instead. she said that they (aerogea) were told to fix it but have not as of yet so...

oolunchbox

i talked to dawn a couple weeks ago and she said at last count there were 6 left, i plan on calling again tomorrow to confirm everythign and see about my genvibe discount and the shipping information. I'm mostly wondering how long it took for the kits to hit the road. i realize theyre in CA and will...

oolunchbox

I just ordered my kit. I'm curious as to how long it took to get? I'm near chicago so i know those of you in CA will have had a shorter time due to distance and such, I'm just looking for a roundabout idea.

oolunchbox

As much as I don't want to ruin the asthetic of the Street Graffiti bodykit, I live in IL and having a front license plate is law (I've already been ticketed for not having one on my grand am 5 years ago). To avoid the hassle I want to get the license plate holder for the 2005 (i'm assuming it's dif...

oolunchbox

ive actually got a set of those sitting right here waiting to be installed. I'm a little hesitant because thats what chris from street graffiti used on the psychovibe so i asked his opinion and he said they gave an uneven drop that made the car hard to drive (1.3" in the back and 3" in the...

oolunchbox

i dont know how much you have to spend or what resources you have available, but the bodyshop i talked to by me said ti'd cost me $3,000-$5,000 to get mine painted (i was thinking about WRX blue). They said it'd cost so much 'cuz they'd "do it right" and disassemble the entire car so all t...

oolunchbox

So i just ordered my Dropzone springs and i'm addicted to this stuff now. I'm always lookin for another mod (within reason) and I've decided that an intake and exhaust will be in my future (after the street graffitti bodykit of course. I'm looking for opinions on which cold air/exhaust combo will so...

oolunchbox

well besides the fact that you were right and it was a real pain in the @$$, none at all, the included instructions were spot on and everything worked like they said. i cut the hell out of my hands and arms trying to reach in and get the screws started but once i did it all went smoothly.

oolunchbox

nope i'm happy with my mid spoiler.

Got my mid-spoiler last night and couldnt wait to get it instaled so i got on it at 8am this morning. After 2.5 hours of struggling and fighting with it i finally got it. I'm not at home now but pics will come tomorrow afternoon/night. A bit of advice for anyone considering a mid-spoiler: Get a budd...

oolunchbox

thanks again for the response but i guess i should have phrased my question differently. here goes: i want my wheels to come flush with the frnder flares, how should i go about doing it ie: what size wheels and tires should i go with (im thinkin 17's) or should i just get whatever wheels i like and ...

oolunchbox

i did check out one and the 225/45/17 and 225/40/17 both seemed ok, im not too concerned about the sidewall so the 45 would be ok i guess, im mostly concerned with getting the wheels/tires flush with the fenders without getting rubbing

oolunchbox

I'm looking to lower my vibe 1.75" or so but i also wanted to get my wheels/tires flush with the fender flares. im wondering how wide i can go with tires before ill get rubbing? hsould i go 225/40/17 or something more like 205 or 215 and just get spacers?

oolunchbox

i finally got the okay from the lady to go ahead and get the kit and a paint job (im thinkin a blue either like the equinox or WRX im not quite sure) so im just waiting to these kits to be available!

oolunchbox

When I installed the power wire for my amp i ran it through the grommet that all the wires from the steering column run through. there's a thread on here about doing an amp install that runs the wires through there, basically you just need to stick a screwdriver through there to make a little room f...

oolunchbox

I've been looking and cant seem to find much about how people have run their wires from the Head Unit to their aftermarket amps. im planning on installing one and a pair of subs on friday and i want ot have the wires as hidden as possible, and advice or links to posts is appreciated.

oolunchbox

if you get those produced relatively inexpensively and easy to install id definantly be interested in a set, and if youre feeling up to it i (and im sure at least a few others) would be interested in a GXP style spoiler as well. youve definantly got a talent man. excellent work

oolunchbox

i dont know how much different the 03 and 04 engine compartments are, i cant imagine a theyre very different at all. anyhow heres step-by-step instructions that lancer posted a while back of his CAI install, he was even nice enough to include pictures.http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=1281

oolunchbox

yeah.. i needs to get me one of those.. i m thinkin i wanna get the SLP ramair package as well unless someone knows how to do it for less?who am i kidding im just dreaming here...

oolunchbox

i like it but personally i'd prefer it without the smiley, thats just me.Maybe the possibility of an outlined version as well?

oolunchbox

So ive decided that i really want the spoilers and maybe the whole spport package for my vibe. when i got it (09/27/03) the dealership had a vibe on the showroom floor with the sport package but my salesman had no knowledge of it or the prices he said somethinbg about how it had just come in. im won...

oolunchbox

i too am in agreement that the new front end is no good, maybe theyre hoping to turn people off with it to boost the GXP sales( hey it could happen). anyhow here's a half-a$$ed chop of the '05 with the '03/4 "nose"

Mine are the same color as my vibe (shadow) it appears that the monoonvibes have color matched handles whereas the 2 tons vibes have black handles
