Do you have the battery tray and hold-down clamp? My battery currently moves around free with nothing to keep it in place besides the terminal wires.

First of all thanks for all the comments so far

Update: It looks like I may have been the victim of bad gas. The symptoms started with my last tank fill-up; I have since gone through that gas and filled up at my usual location and the symptoms have decreased by 90%.

Good job so far, I really dig the custom pet barrier. I also like the detail of cleaning, I need to do the same to mine.

Hey folks my car, 2003 Vibe Base Model, recently started doing what I can best describe as a slight misfire (vibration). It is noticeable when that car is at idle such as at a stop light. I bought the car 2 years ago and have put about 12K miles on it (currently at 123K), so far the only maintenance...

Ok I just need some clarification. I drive with the OD Off when I do a lot of Stop and Go driving and my question is will the automatic transmission turn the OD Off automatically when I'm at the proper speed or do I need to press the switch on the shifter to turn it Off? Thanks in advanced.

cmpltvertigo

Looks good, nice modest touch. I added some new overlays for the badges and liftgate myself.

I have a set of 4 ignition coils (Denso) that came off my friends 04 Matrix (totaled). They will fit (1ZZ) base engine, vehicle was running fine before he wrecked it. Coils have approx. 30K miles, asking $75 for all 4 shipped.

cmpltvertigo

Thanks, also did you remove and paint your grill? Looks good btw.

cmpltvertigo

Welcome back, looking forward to updated pics and listening to what plans you have in stored.

Looking good. Your cladding looks darker than mine, what product did you use to recondition them?

Welcome, nice Vibe you have there.

I am also looking into that same intake, but may option for the CAI.

I am also dealing with the same issue on the radio, wish they would have done a recall on these.

Replaced my antenna. Was not as hard as I thought it would be. I just had to remove the rear ceiling tabs on the headliner and remove the side rear panel (pasenger side) - you dont have to take it all the way off just unclip the top and unbolt the seatbelt bracket. Much better reception now and I ge...

man that sure is / was a good looking vehicle. Haven't seen movie yet, but will keep an eye out for it.

Heys guys I'm reviving this thread because I am coming up for my first oil change with the Vibe. I live in Texas were we are expecting some triple digit temperatures in the next couple of months. Should I go with 10W-30 or 5W-30? I am leaning towards 10W-30 because I am under the impression its bett...

A few weeks ago I got a new Steering wheel cover for my Vibe, I think it looks sharp and kinda matches the interior. What do you think?It is a "Bell Auto Classics Fast Line Steering Wheel Cover Black" http://www.bellautomotive.com/...8.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return...

cmpltvertigo

Hi, looking for the antenna base if you still have it.

cmpltvertigo

I would do as recommended first and change out the oil more frequently and make sure to use a good quality filter such as OEM. If the sludge is severe enough you can drop the oil pan and replace the oil pickup tube. I replaced that on my GSX when I replaced the block and also on my mothers old Probe...

cmpltvertigo

Congratulations, that is an awesome deal.

Also I thought the AWD was the GT? Is there a difference?

cmpltvertigo

Hey all I grew up using armor all on just about everything - the tires, the dash, and the interior molding. I recently have heard that armor all is bad for the dash and it actually increases the chances of cracking - not sure if its true but what I've read. What does everyone else use to clean their...

cmpltvertigo

Never been a fan of the eyelids on the headlights but I am sure it is just a personal preference. I really like the look of the mudflaps however, great job.

cmpltvertigo

Hey group, this is an odd request but I need the rod that holds up the hood. I am tired of having to use some type of board to hold the hood up.

That is definitely a good looking vehicle. Your daughter should definitely enjoy the sleek lines and reliability of the Vibe.

Welcome to the site, I am new Vibe member myself. I've had mine for about 2 months now, it was great timing too since my daily driver went down about 2 weeks ago.

If anyone with a 2-tone 2003 is thinking about retro-fitting the new 2004 rockers the parts numbers are:Driver side rocker: 88973002 - dealer = $82.80 - GMPartsDirect.com = $48.84Passenger side rocker: 88973001 - dealer = $82.80 - GMPartsDirect.com = $48.84I haven't yet but I will in the spring.

Great vehicle. Really enjoyed reading your progression thread. Really like the K&N typhoon and the optional dry filter - how did you like this mod? any noticeable difference in performance or gas mileage?

cmpltvertigo

Are you looking into something like pin striping? or somthing more contrasting?

cmpltvertigo

Great write up. I think I will go with this filter when it is time to replace mine. I just cant see myself putting an oiled filter that sits before the MAF.

cmpltvertigo

Interesting topic, I'm with the OP I've never seen a situation were you don't have to replace the fuel filter. If that is the case I assume Vibe owners use their favorite fuel injector additive to keep the fuel system clean. This leads to my question, what fuel additive do you use and how often?

cmpltvertigo

I like it....but is this an approved model or a concept car? Too many times I've seen an amazing concept car only to have the manufacturer released a much watered down version.

cmpltvertigo

I used the samed Turtle Wax trim restorer on my 03 Vibe and it worked great. 2 things though, first it required a second pass since it had so much fadind, and two if has a tendency to streak a little once wet.

As for the cladding, I would prefer mine did not have the cladding.

cmpltvertigo

Looks great, I hope the final product resembles the sketches

Hey folks as most of the senior members know I am new to the community, but not to the automotive social media. I would like to see if we can put the word out and get more Vibe owners involved here. I recently posted an ad in the community section of my local craigslist with a link to this group; th...

cmpltvertigo

Nice Vibe....quick question for yourself of anyone who can answer, was the 03 model the only model that had the gray molding? It seems like every years after is painted to match the vehicle.

cmpltvertigo

Both very nice cars! If I may recommend something, it would be to make yourself some plexiglass covers for your fog lights, or at least put some vinyl film on them. They have a tendency to break when exposed to rocks and the like. Thank you, and funny you mention the tip on the fog lights because t...

cmpltvertigo

Welcome to the group, hope you enjoy your stay

cmpltvertigo

Both are Nice and clean. Amazing how much better southern cars look as they age. Here you are lucky to have a car for 15 years, the Dept of Transportation encourages vehicle replacement through the generous application of salt. Any enhancements planned for the Vibe, or just regular maintenance? Tha...

Quick History: purchased my 03 Vibe about 4 weeks ago. It was in excellent shape minus a broken hubcap, broken antenna, and a cracked radio bezel. Thanks to GenVibe and its members I already replaced the hubcap, and radio bezel. Vehicle has 110K miles and counting. Front view: http://i439.photobucke...

cmpltvertigo

I'm definitely interested, where are you located?

cmpltvertigo

Hey folks like title says I need a replacement antenna base. I already have a replacement mast, but the antenna base is damaged and needs replacement. thanks for looking.

Seller: KITT222
Item: Radio Bezel, antenna mast
Recommend: Yes
Comment: Great Seller! fast shipping and item exactly as described. Very satisfied

cmpltvertigo

Agreed, looks like bad rim or the camber is off in the rear. You have an AWD so you should be able to adjust the camber. The funny thing is that if the camber was off, the tire would have been bald all around the inner edge of the tire. However, the bald part of the tire was only like 12" long...

Great thread, we love animals. Below is the reason we purchased a Vibe (needed the room). Here is our 14 month old female: http://i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq119/mosul210/Woofers/P1015109_zps8eb50333.jpg She is about 75-80 lbs.

I am totally with the OP here, the door on my 03 Vibe swings way too far out. I have to be extra careful when opening the door to ensure it does not fly open and slam the vehicle next to me.

cmpltvertigo

Nice Vibe, would probably make a bid on it if it was closer.

Best of luck with the sale.
