I just did this last weekend. It's tough to reach, but doable. It took me about 15 minutes. The trick is to use a very small wrench that you can use with one hand. I have a bunch of "midget" wrenches that came with my craftsman set. https://www.craftsman.com/products/craftsman-10-pc-metric...

Yes. It will fit. The interior parts are interchangeable (mostly). But this is sold. Sorry.

It's not black, it's the dark gray interior color.

As far as I know these only came in one color.

No contact from Steve, so this is still available.

Hi AJ,

Sorry, I can't help you. The console lid is actually from a Matrix.

You could check the connector on the back of the radio bezel. If that's disconnected, the airbag light will stay on.

Vibe uses 5x100 bolt pattern, so the wheels won't fit.You would need to mount the tires to some wheels that do fit.

I think that any recommendations would hinge on what features you want:How much range do you need? 500 ft? 1/2 mile?Do you want to be able to do keyless entry with the remote starter fob?Do you want 2 way communication so that you know if the car has started?Do you want one that supports triggering ...

I have the same issue with my 2007. You might pull the gauge bezel to see if the buzzing goes away. That seems to be a common fix (it didn't work for me though ).I may end up pulling the top of the dash at some point in the future to secure anything that is loose.Good luck,Bob

It does look pretty neat. The roof rack may interfere with the sealing around the top where it "mates" to the car.Even cheaper at Dicks:http://www.dickssportinggoods....55230

Here's mine. The front is kind of hazy because of the "fog" from my lawn this morning as it warmed up here in Massachusetts.

It does scuff the paint in a few spots on the grill (but that's plastic and won't rust through like the hood). It only takes a couple of minutes to install.

You might also look at a "rock deflector". My 96 Prizm was still in great shape when I passed it on to my kids, except for the front of the hood which had rusted through from the rock chips. So when I bought the Vibe, I put on one of the deflectors asap since I'm currently driving about 10...
