It's a passenger side assembly. It might just. Be the bulb, my friend says.

tkenway

So far, it hasn't worked. Due to the beautiful NE Ohio winter weather, I fear it's beyond help.

Actual window marker? Any standard glass cleaner with ammonia should work. I'll try this first. You can also use fine steel wool on glass (not paint!), available at your local big box hardware store in the sandpaper aisle. Razor blade scrapers will work, but be careful not to dig the corner of the ...

With that window marker crap. How do I get it off? It's all over my hatch window and back windows. I would like to remove it and have been unsuccessful thus far.

I would prefer not using anything rough, abrasive, or otherwise damaging to the car and you guys have been really helpful each time!

Cool, I'll have to wait until it isn't over 100 degrees outside so I can work on it!

Here is a how to for an acura. Now the vibe foglight doesn't have a trim ring that goes around like this one. That is the big difference. http://www.acuraworld.com/forums/f27/diy-broken-fog-light-lens-fix-69762/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; -Remove foglight assembly. -Ba...

On my vibe both lenses were broken out badly. The reflector bowls were also rotted out and not really chrome anymore. Bought a sheet of lexan plastic from Home Depot. Traced out the housings on it, cut and sanded The edges. Then I removed the old glass, scraped out old silicon, painted the insides ...

Neptunes are the best color, naturally. ;) I'm waiting for my cash flow to increase, then the plan is drop the ride a little, haven't decided how much yet, and switch from stock 205/55/16 to 205/50/17, as it's the same size, except looks the way I want. I'm looking for a nifty body kit for her, too....

I love it when politics accidentally happen on my posts.

Thanks for all the useful info, guys! How do we stop the E15? I like my car functional.

tkenway

Great, thanks so much for the input, guys. I'll keep using the 89, just because I do dislike running 10% ethanol through my cars. My Camry had better check up using 89 instead of 87. My mechanic mentioned something about ethanol being more harmful to engines and seals over a long period of time, is ...

I'm thinking mid-August. I'll come up with a place that should be easy to navigate to. KSU has some decent places near by, hopefully one should work. I'll iron out the rest of the details and make sure I post them clearly very soon!

tkenway

Ha ha ha, I'm constantly cursing the birds. They aim for me, I swear.

I'm waiting for the weather to stop being ungodly ridiculous. It's hotter than hell one day, then raining cats and dog the next, so I can't paint my steelies until it's... gentle outside.

tkenway

Took my baby to the woods recently for a test shoot. Wash, wax, fresh detailing. Not sure what else to do at this point. http://i1238.photobucket.com/albums/ff500/rsr7538/CAM00258_zps6c1ff0d4.jpg http://i1238.photobucket.com/albums/ff500/rsr7538/CAM00257_zpsef8aea04.jpg http://i1238.photobucket.com/...

Thanks, guys! I run an 06 Base, no mods yet.

Glad I haven't done any damage.

I'm fully prepared to pull my foot out of my mouth after I ask this, since I may well be in the wrong board. Hope not. :) (I hopw it's not a DUH answer, either? I'll feel like a dummy.) I went to the gas station a few days ago and, being the oversightful genius I am, hit the wrong button with my (re...

tkenway

thanks. I need to wait til I have an extra 30 bucks lying around to buy a replacement. In the mean time, I actually currently have a working fog light and a hole where my previous light had been. :( Someone thought it would be nice to relieve me of my other fog assembly, and poked it out with a bat ...

tkenway

I would have loved to hit the GenVibe meet, but my funds stonewalled me into a corner.

I'm hoping there might be people still interested in getting together in the NEOhio area. Vibe talk, show off our cars, etc.

It'd be exciting.

Thanks, I'll have a look around here.

Sweet, another Neptune Blue Vibe in the area. Nice find with low miles. I rarely see the Neptune Blue Vibes rolling around here. There's a guy that has a Neptune, and every time we pass each other on the road, we wave. Haha, it makes me feel cool, like I'm part of a secret Neptune Blue Pontiac club...

tkenway

Definitely looking good. Nice and shiny You consider popping the hubcaps off and painting the steelies back to the original matte black? Yes, actually. I'm just not entirely sure how to go about doing so on my budget. (About $40...) I also don't have another option for transportation, especially if...

Just a small update on my Vibe. Primarily working on visuals right now, considering car was pretty scratched up and dinged up when I brought her home. http://i1238.photobucket.com/albums/ff500/rsr7538/CAM00251_zpsf1070183.jpg http://i1238.photobucket.com/albums/ff500/rsr7538/CAM00250_zps217ef0a0.jpg...

tkenway

Okay, I've been doing some work on my Vibe recently, pretty much restoring it to it's former visual glory. No more faded paint, scratches, nicks, dings or chips. I restored my headlights, they weren't exactly pretty, but now they're crystal clear once more! I did not touch the fog lights, however. T...

Really late to the party, but that last post doesn't make me feel any better. almost completely dodged a pedestrian on her phone at night who walked into the street in the middle of my turn, but she still managed to end up on my car. Two years ago, with a Mazda 6... She destroyed my windshield, and ...

if you want to caravan on the 15th, I'm leaving my place at about 7AM on Friday and will be using the turnpike for the trip. message me if you are looking for a travel buddy. I would really love to come to the Pontiac, IL meet, but my schedule isn't that flexible, nor are my funds. I'm in between j...

Well, I'm located at Kent State University. (technically.) I have no details yet, since you're the only one to jump on board! If we can get a few more people in on it, I'll start scraping together some possible ideas and stuff like that.

tkenway

I'm not very good at putting together events, just ask my car. It's hard enough to empty the cans out on a regular basis. (I have a recycle bin in my trunk, I'm not a heathen.) HOWEVER: It'd be really cool to have a GenVibe meet up here in good ol' unpredictable weather NE Ohio. Since my schedule ju...

I will head over to the shop on Monday and request it be done right. I can't change the plugs myself, because i do.t honestly have the time. I need a little time to implement a new driving style, however. I will also pick up a tire pressure gauge and keep checking my tires. Thanks, guys!

tkenway

Awesome. I'll have to order one when I have a little more spare cash.

tkenway

Very nice.

Where can I get a genvibe.com decal?

NEW plugs as of two weeks ago, not the NGK iridium. (...the guy I took it to installed NA41-801 platinums, also said wires weren't used in my car. Make a difference? Did I get screwed?) He was right about plug wires, our coils are right on top of the plugs. As for plugs.. There's really no good rea...

Dang, that's a good find! Mine is up to 121k now. I don't know how Ohio's winters are, but if you get snow, you can definitely have some good fun with an AWD vibe in the snow. I've been learning how to get good drifts going this past winter, when there are a couple inches of snow on the ground duri...

welcome to genvibe! I don't follow the numbers in your MPG discussion, the cost of gas doesn't matter. What I do is fill up the tank, all the way and reset one of the trip odometers. The next time I need gas, I fill up all the way again, and look at the trip odometer that I reset the last time I fi...

Checking in to the garage here.

2006 VIBE base with manual locks and windows.Auto, RWD. Neptune blue, currently 48,231 miles. (over 3,000 in a month and a half!) Learning all I can about this car, so I'm new to the forum.

I went from a Toyota Camry (06) with 119k to a Vibe with 45k. Loving everything about the car so far. Except the gas mileage. I don't love that. Anything I need to know that's super important to my car?
