I've got an intro book detailing specs and options on the 2009 Vibe. I was just wondering if anyone else had seen it or wanted to. I've got a couple from my dealership, so I'm willing to scan the pages into PDF/JPG.I ran a search but couldn't seem to find anything like this yet.Let me know if you gu...

There are a bunch of people here that have other vehicles but love being a part of our community.1) Some forum members have painted the chrome gauge trim. click on the link to see an ...

Haha! I thought I was alone until I saw Mrizzle's post.I do wash her like a woman, making sure to cover every inch , and I smooth-talk her into behaving.At times 'she' can be very stubborn.But if I was a car, that's exactly the design I'd have.It always wants to eat, and nothing ever goes up its tai...

I've been thinking about that... mine would look like this if i got them.

I'm doing the light install tonight!!!!

You know, I bet they'd look better if they were chrome instead of brushed aluminum like they look here, but I do somewhat agree about them looking cartoonish. I would also be willing to bet they would look better if the plastic trim on our vibes were body color (premium monotone package thingy).

Photoshop? Hehe... How's this? Lemme know if you'd like to see them on another pic.

I was just living in Tucson AZ last year, I went to the U of A from August 2005 to May 2006... Too bad I didn't know about this site back then, or better yet when I bought my vibe in October 2004...I think we should try to find some more local members and try to get a meet together. It's only 450 mi...

I seem to be the only active genviber living in LV. I'm down to hang out and meet some of yas, but I'm 20 and a non-drinker so I won't be able to do much.

I've found that ABS does help - - to avoid a collision.In my personal testing with road cones and an empty parking lot, ABS helps to get you out of the way quicker and easier than a car without the feature. Most individuals are generally found to have some certain level of intelligence. People, as a...

So today, as I'm pulling out of the car wash (I do most of my own washings but I've been lazy recently ), I drive out into the street and into the left-left turn lane. So I change my mind and want to go straight on the street instead of turning left, and there's a truck immediately to my right, also...

I have an 04 base model Vibe, used to have steel 16s, recently upgraded to 16" OEM alloys [thanks to NoMerits].I called my local dealership (just happens to be the one I bought the car from) and they told me they were 12mmx1.5x40.Best advice I can give is to call a dealer and ask them about the...

azsapphire87

Wow, thats too cool! I didn't even finish reading the thread because I watched the video when I got to that post, and then I saw the same thing - an 03-04 Vibe, with roof rack, in the parking lot at 2:45! But it looks black to me.

azsapphire87

Very nice. Love the diamond-plate style inside the box. Are there lights between the speakers too? The vinyl cargo cover looks kinda funny just sitting there rolled up on the side. What a p.o.s. that thing is.

azsapphire87

Just sits there. Could easily be secured with some Velcro or something. Whatever kind of rubbery stuff they put on the bottom actually holds on to the plastic really well, so it never goes sliding around or anything.p.s. welcome to genvibe!

azsapphire87

Lucky guy you are. Wait, I see a weiner dog! I've got one of those. Loves to ride around in the Vibe. Almost too long for the seats though haha!Very nice subs by the way. how much power do they use, I see your amp is 580w. That Fort Minor CD must sound pretty good on those, huh?

azsapphire87

My rear arrow turned a nice peachy pink too. Its funny because I never really noticed it until about 2 months ago. Covered it up with a bright red grafxwerks overlay.As for the front, it seems to be holding up well, but it has been covered up by the bra about 95% of the time.

azsapphire87

Wow. That's amazing that you had to camp out for so long, if at all! I walked in to my local Wal-Mart that was stocked with 32. Just waltzed on in at 12:24am to see the last one carried away from the register. Wasn't disappointed though, I'm waiting for BLACK I was not about to risk getting my Wii l...

PC World has an article on the Zune that I found to be very interesting. Seems like Microsoft has a few hardware, software, and accessibility bugs to work out if it wants to be a true challenger to the iPod.http://www.pcworld.com/article....html

Finally got around to installing them. Only did the speakers though, didn't have enough time yet to wire the LEDs. Pics will come along soon.For anyone wondering about the front speaker installation, I used these brackets: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-V...AC656

I thought I was out of my mind the first time I experienced this. Strange how in an age of LEDs they are still using traditional light bulbs to illuminate gauges and buttons. The heat is always in the same spot too, right between the volume knob and the tuning/adjustment knob. I was really going thr...

One click is enough to engage the (BRAKE) light on my dash... so I wouldn't dare drive with it like that. You could try to find the wire that provides power to the headlights and install a DPST (double pole, single throw) switch in the hatch panel of the dash. For those who don't know how a DPST wor...

I guess I can be glad I don't have the DBW.Still glad to know you've found a solution. Goes right along with Murphy's Law: "If it can go wrong, it WILL go wrong!" Also proves that having more systems can mean more problems.

azsapphire87

cast my vote! and just in time to get in spirit of the november primary's too!

azsapphire87

Sounds like this is only a problem with the new cars as they have the "drive-by-wire" electronic throttle. I've got a traditional throttle and experience no problems.Now, it's just a guess, but try to get your hands on a diagnostic scanner. It might come up with an error code that you can ...

azsapphire87

Thanks! I can't wait until they arrive so I can put 'em in! There's sure to be plenty of pics.

azsapphire87

Sorry to hear that. At least you got 40k out of them though, I only had 15k on mine when i lost the rear driver wheel to a blown sidewall (unknown cause). I decided it was best to replace all 4 instead of just swapping the front to the back and replacing the fronts. After all, I didn't want this hap...

azsapphire87

VERY NICE Just make sure you check local laws before you buy. Here in NV all video equipment *except nav* has to be out of the driver's view. I'm not sure about IL though.Could be quite danegerous Is it $1100 installed or just parts? If you're doing it yourself, make sure to post lots of pics If you...

BestBuy.com sells them... $51.99/pairTheTwisterGroup.com... $31.12/pairThe speakers are 4-ohm impedance so they'll work with the Vibe's stock HU.Best Buy also quotes installation for a set of speakers at $32.99 to 41.99.

are these the ones you bought or a different model?http://www.thetwistergroup.com....htmlI was wondering how you hid the power wires from the 12v to the lighting elements of the illuminites. Did you drill through the metal or go under the moulding? My main concern is being able to hide the power wir...

Looking at my last post I can kick back and laugh at myself. I swear I didn't see this before. I searched for his topics and found THIS THREADI'm still interested to know how he got the power from the interior to the door without it looking half-done (hanging out when you open the door).

azsapphire87

So the only thing that has to be done is cutting the stock screen out of the door panel? How complicated is that? Any recommended techniques? Or does it even CUT out?Would it be possible to mount the speakers with the stock grille?I'm still thinking about the 6x9s. I could install them in the custom...

azsapphire87

Great! I've been thinking of doing the same, but there are a few other mods higher on the list.Let us know how they sound! (I might just move it up the list )p.s. is that the right size or does the hole have to be cut bigger to mount them?

azsapphire87

(removed)! A reply! Unexpected but VERY welcomed.That sounds great, I'd love to be able to actually do this. It was all becoming a silly dream for a while there Just to think, having a functional O/D button on a real control stick. The shift release would be a challenge though. Maybe cut a hole thro...

azsapphire87

Yeah, I have turned it off before (as I have mentioned)Going downhill I usually just shift down... (only at speeds below 45)I'd like to keep it, it is useful to have in those cases where you would need to regulate engine power...Now I'll HAVE to look into putting it on the hatch button panel

Check out his garage... I've seen them there, they look pretty nice!
