Very nice dude!

GT_King

I actually purchased a 100,000 full coverage warranty with a $100 deductible when I bought my Vibe new, it was only $800 and they included it in the price of my loan, great deal!

GT_King

Nice dude!

GT_King

And an "Type R" sticker, 10hp each!

GT_King

I do a lot of mountain biking, not a road biker either.

GT_King

That sucks dude! I do paintless dent removal, you should bring it over and I'll fix the dents!

GT_King

Thanks dude, actually my brother in law is a photographer and he took that pic, he's in Bend Oregon too, but thanks tho!

Carbon fiber is extremely light (and strong). I personally don't like the look of it, at first glance it looks to me like they coulnd't afford to have the hood painted. I have seen some full carbon fiber front ends and roofs on some BMWs that ARE painted, looks much better IMO.

GT_King

I put the spalshgaurds on mine and it has really saved the rocker panel paint, they work very well.

GT_King

Welcome! Both cars are the same but you will probably spend a couple thousand less on the Vibe than the Matrix just because it doesn't say Toyota on it, and you won't be dissapointed with the GT either

GT_King

Actually I think he did it in his photoshop program, and his camera is pretty bad to the bone too so his camera might have been on a special setting or something.

GT_King

Thanks guys ya we had fun taking them, i like the black and white one too

GT_King

Well I'm pretty much done with mine, the only thing I need still is some wheel spacers for the rear wheels to push them out maybe half an inch or so to make them flush with the outside of the car, that's bout it tho!

GT_King

LOL thanks , he just emailed them to me a few minutes ago so I just had to post them

Welcome!

GT_King

Nice wheels dude!

GT_King

I dunno man, the SRT4 has 25-30 more HP and 50 more lb ft of torgue, I think the Cobalt would have it's hands full. I haven't seen any direct comparisons of the two yet.

Thanks!

here's a link to a video of a Nismo/Xanavi Nissan Skyline driving around Twin Ring Motegi in Japan, I hope it works!http://media.cars.ign.com/medi...w.wmv

crap didn't work

GT_King

I have 48,000 miles on mine, and I have to say, mine is a pretty solid car, I don't really have any noticeable rattles. My friend has an 04 Jetta GLI with only 10,000 miles and his car has WAY more rattles than mine does. And I haven't had any problems with the paint on mine, mine seems to be pretty...

I have my rear windows at 5%, the two front side windows at 20%, and I also have the complete windshield tinted at 50%, ya, I know, a little illegal probably, but haven't been bothered yet for it and I've been pulled over several times for speeding (no tickets, just warnings) Has anyone ever gotten ...

I have a Yakima bike rack for mine, here's a pic

Can anyone say Dodge SRT4?

GT_King

Actually yes I did have to have a camber kit installed, drives much better now, was pulling to the right at freeway speeds.

GT_King

I use the Tech Wax also, it's the best wax I have, ya it does come off very easy and it lasts a long time.

GT_King

You might have to go over it with a machine polisher after you clay bar it too, sometimes the grit the clay bar picks up will put very minor surface scratches in the clear coat, wax will hide them but once the wax wears off, you'll be albe to see them.

GT_King

Thanks guys, and no, I don't have any pics up on car domain.

GT_King

Here's a quick video clip of me and my car on the freeway, what do you guys think? I have a Magnaflow exhaust and Cosmo CAI intalled on it.

I think the Jetta is a little longer, but if my Vibe wasn't lowered, I think it would look a little bigger next to the Jetta. Nice Vibe btw dude

GT_King

and here's a pic of my car and my friend's Jetta GLI after I got down there. See? the tape is gone

GT_King

thnx bro, here it is lowered..........

GT_King

LOL, ya I got some weird looks but it was only for the drive down. They put large gravel down on the mountain passes here in the winter so it destroys front bumpers. I ripped it off the second I got there of course.

I drove down to the Bay Area this past weekend from Portland, and before I left, I was going to purchase a full nose bra to protect the front end from rock chips, but my friend suggested using blue painters masking tape to cover the front bumper cover for the drive, so I did. It took 10 minutes to p...

.....and before I left, I don't know if anyone read my thread about my Cosmo cold air intake having a small hesitation problem after it had been sitting for a while, but after a good drive down to Cali and some hard triple digit MPH drivin' with my friends and their cars while I was there, the hesit...

GT_King

That's cool, nice pics

GT_King

Well, I didn't do all of it myself, I did help though. It's pretty easy actually as long as you have a spring compressor, took 2 hours.

GT_King

It dropped it 2" in the front and 1.5" in the rear, and when I took it to get aligned, they said if I wanted to do a camber kit I could but it didn't seem neccesary.

GT_King

the Silverstars are much whiter light than stock

Thanks guys, the rims are 17" Enkei CDR-9 wheels. here's one more pic, I also changed my headlamp and fog lamps to Silverstar super whites.

Thanks, just polished it today, just in time for the rain I was surprised at the ride, it actually isn't THAT much different, rides really nice, feels much sportier but not too stiff

It's been several months since I posted last, but I had it lowered with the Hotchkiss springs a few weeks back, and I just had Toyo Proxess 4 tires put on yesterday, here's a pic

Cool, nope, there is no change in fuel mileage or high rev performance, and I've never had a CEL and I actually put a new MAF in it a few weeks back so I'm sure it's not that, thanks for the advice.
