Looks GREAT Carrie! I'll be curious to hear how it holds up under rainy/nasty weather conditions.

Also, did you take the wheels off to do this? Just wondering because I've seen videos on Youtube where it was done with the wheels still on the car. I'm a little apprehensive about doing that though.

jackie879

Replaced the cabin air filter for the first time in my '09 this weekend. It was nasty! I'm going to start checking it more often.

And looking at these pics makes me think I'm coming down with a case of PlastiDipitus too!

jackie879

I found these pics of a NICE white Vibe with the Matrix rack on cars.com. I may have to look into one for my GT also. http://i635.photobucket.com/albums/uu77/trbstang/vibewithrack3_zpsf8dd44d5.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; http://i635.photobucket.com/albums/uu77/trbst...

Great to hear from you again Jackie :D Too bad you weren't able to meet up with us last month in Pontiac. There would have been THREE 09 GT's again :lol: Smart choice going with the Matrix roof rack vs the Vibe one. It looks so much more sleek & sporty. Post pics when you perform this mod! Pont...

Hi Carrie! Yeah I've been away for a while dealing with some family issues, health issues, etc. etc but all is well now and I plan on being around much more. I've done a few mods to the Vibe recently and will be posting some updated pics on my garage page soon. My next mod is going to be a roof rack...

jackie879

Hey all, just wanted to say I have not had this problem on my 09 Vibe. 54xxx miles on it now and it sits outside most of the time (but in a parking garage when I'm at work). The windows have been tinted since about a month after I got it. Anyway, this seems like a very random problem. I'm going to k...

Looks awesome Geoff! Does the black color of the armrest match the interior pretty well? From the pics it looks to be a perfect match. I'm looking to get an armrest/ebrake boot combo soon too but I wasn't sure whether the black or the charcoal gray color would look better.

jackie879

Looking great as always, Carrie!

jackie879

While I would be totally down for a mini-meet and pic with the Vibe squad car, keep in mind that parts of Cahokia aren't the safest. Some people from East St. Louis (which is a total war zone) have relocated there over the past several years and brought crime along with them. There was a shooting in...

jackie879

I used the same brand fabric marker (Marvy) and the same color (#2 red), but instead of the chisel tip I got a brush tip that has a very fine point on it. Made the job super easy. Did you have to go over the emblem with the marker several times before the color looked right? I did. After one applica...

jackie879

Geoff, I was so impressed with what you did to the "GT" on the seats, I did the same thing to mine. Hope you don't mind. It looks amazing and didn't take very long at all!

jackie879

Once upon a time I kept lots of stuff in my car, but after my Sunfire was broken in to I started traveling as lightly as possible.In the Vibe, all I keep is:-tire gauge-umbrella-duster-jumper cables-two pairs of sunglasses-a few burned cd's-owner's manual-insurance card-registration

jackie879

I'm definitely down for an Indy meet again! Michigan on the other hand, I'm not so sure about...that's a pretty far drive for me.

jackie879

Here in St. Louis I have about an inch of sleet at my house and it's still coming down. Tonight it's supposed to change to all snow and accumulate quickly. It was bad enough to close all schools and most businesses around here. Spring/summer can't get here soon enough!

jackie879

Awesome looking Vibe! I also love the interior LEDs.What size bulb are the map lights, and how do you remove them? I really want to swap mine out with LEDs but I can't get them out and I don't know what size bulb to get.

jackie879

Awesome video. I can't wait for next year!

jackie879

Cool pics! I'd love to visit Mt. Rushmore someday.I've taken my Vibe on a couple of road trips and it's been great!

jackie879

Carrie, you flip-flop on this HID thing more than a politician does at election time. Anyway....I would not recommend using a higher wattage bulb in a harness that wasn't designed to handle the extra load. I made that mistake when I had my Sunfire - I installed some higher wattage rice bulbs and a f...

jackie879

Looks awesome! Great job.

jackie879

I got my chrome/amber bulbs on ebay, but unfortunately I don't remember the brand or the seller I got them from. A quick search will turn up a bunch of them, though. Also, the Silverstar front turn signal bulbs are still available on Amazon, but they only have one pair left. I love these and am disa...

jackie879

Thanks so much enfield for sending in your engine cover! I just placed an order for a red overlay.

Quote, originally posted by J_TO_ENVY Â»... did you re-adjust your headlights at all after installing the HIDs?Nope, no readjusting at all. Plugged them in, went ooo and ahhh, and closed the hood. It will be awesome to see another '09 GT with HIDs!! You going 6000k or 5000k?

jackie879

Updated the first post with a pic of my new LED DRL bulbs installed. I'm very happy with them. Not only are they super bright, they match the HIDs perfectly (no more yellow!)

jackie879

Cute dogs! And speaking of the show "Monsters Inside Me", I watched it for the first time the other night. (removed). Pretty disturbing stuff on there. Informative and interesting, but.......disturbing. I had nightmares. LOL

jackie879

I would totally buy a set of the vent overlays if Ryan made them!

jackie879

WOW. Do like. A lot.

jackie879

I got a recall letter today too (10038). Not sure what I'm going to do yet. I can't imagine the pedal would actually get stuck so I'm leaning more towards not getting it done...

jackie879

I had such a great time at the meet! Huge thanks to those who organized it. There was a good turnout and the photo shoot at the hotel was amazing! Can't wait till next year!

jackie879

Re-sent my pm as well.

jackie879

You guys read my mind...I was just going to post about the meeting spot for Friday night! I'll probably be at the hotel by mid-afternoon, so I'll just be hanging out/cruising around/taking a nap until everyone else arrives, so if someone could call me when it's time for dinner that would be awesome....

Parked next to this black GT at the grocery store this evening (cell phone pic ugh).

jackie879

Nice silver GT! It's good to see another Vibe owner from Missouri. We're few and far between on this forum and it's a shame because I see Vibes everywhere around here!

jackie879

Sweet!I think there was a black '09 Vibe in the 2nd Transformers movie also.

jackie879

My hotel reservation has been made! I'll be arriving Friday afternoon/evening and staying Friday and Saturday nights.A dinner on Friday would be fun!

jackie879

Okay guys and gals, it looks like I'm probably going to make it, so plan on having another '09 GT (red!) in attendance.

jackie879

Cool site! My car is apparently a little more common:There are 125 2009 PONTIAC VIBE FWD 'GT' vehicles (1.327%) matching your exact options list.

jackie879

Great video!My first thought was that I liked the area around the water park, but as was mentioned, there's not a lot of shady areas nearby. It would get pretty hot being out there for a few hours on a sunny day. Overall it looks like a nice park though and I'm sure we'll all be able to find a good ...

jackie879

I have a DDM 35w 6000k kit installed in my 09 GT. I am really happy with it. Visibility is greatly improved, although I haven't driven on a dark rainy night yet so I can't comment on that. The bulbs are not difficult to install, but it was a bit of a challenge to find a place to mount the ballasts. ...

jackie879

Nice looking Vibe! I love the red accents...the paint job looks very professional. Keep up the good work!

jackie879

Awesome! I really want to do something like this for my '09, but I can't sew to save my life. My aunt is really good with sewing so I'm going to see if she can help me out...

jackie879

Ah, the Dodge Shadow....I have lots of memories riding around in one of those when I was in high school. A friend of mine had one. Unfortunately, it caught on fire one day with three people in it, so that was the end of that car (no one was hurt).Anyway, here's my short list of cars:1990 Dodge Spiri...
