Just wondering how the install went? I'm planning on doing the same thing.

BlueVibe09

Sweet, I've been to my share of shows in Buffalo and Western/Central NY. Was Lucky enough to catch Gorilla Biscuits and Murphys Law together at a show in Syracuse a few years back!

Better late than never I guess.

I think it's a little big for my taste... as one reviewer described it "it's like talking with a frozen waffle up to your head". I've got the Incredible and love it.

Well I don't think it's that strange, but my vibe's got wood!

When I replaced my speakers I cut out some thin wooden rings made out of luan to fill the gaps and mount the speakers to. I put some silicon caulk on the back to make sure they sealed up good. They worked great and cost nothing to make. And I agree it does make a noticeable difference.

These look good, just wondering if anyone has tried them yet? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...item=

When I got my '09 used I had the dealer fill the tank, give the car an oil change, wash, and rotate the tires before I came and picked it up. They had no problem with that.

BlueVibe09

I'd recommend an aftermarket HU as well. If you stick with OE head unit get a converter, it sounds better than using the speaker level inputs.

BlueVibe09

Got the filter and have ran 2 tanks of gas since. The filter fits perfect and takes 15 seconds to replace. I'd say that the engine seems to breath easier and I defenitely notice a slight pick-up from the stock filter when passing on a two way road. I'd say that the mileage hasn't changed at all I'm ...

Quote, originally posted by vibolista Â»Nice rims! What offset are they? Save up for a set of 215/55s (or 60s if they would fit) tires, so you run something that would fill up those wheel wells a bit more. Super nice wheels. Very nice. The offset is 40mmNew tires next summer, I'd like to make the wh...

Just got the new rims on the car for the summer. I think they look great! Definite improvement over the hub caps! I guess I coulda washed the car for the pics but oh well.

BlueVibe09

I'm interested, been thinking about doing this since I got the car.

BlueVibe09

Sounds most likely like a bad cable if it isn't the aux in or Mp3 out... Have you tried another portable device plugged in to the Aux input? That should be your first step if not trying another cable. Also this may sound elementary, but make sure both ends of the cable are plugged in completely. Som...

I just looked on the aFe site and this is the filter that came up for the vibe and Matrix. I'll be ordering one soon hopefully. I'm sure I can find it cheaper somewhere else. You have to select pro dry S in "type" if you follow the link. http://afepower.com/shop/detai...ID=59a little cheap...

BlueVibe09

Hi guys, I'm looking at this filter for my '09 with the 1.8l but it's not listed for the matrix or the Vibe... It is listed for the '09 Corolla which has the same engine right? What are the chances that it would fit the '09 Vibe? Thanks. http://www.autoanything.com/ai....aspx

Well, I finally got around to making my car not look like a rolling billboard with my dealer's name all over it. Removed 2 license plate holders and the vinyl graphic they had put on the back gate. No more free advertising! While I was at it I also took the "pontiac" off but not the "...

BlueVibe09

Yeah, I can fit about 5 rods or so in there, without reals on them of course. I'll get a pic up one of these days just been busy!

Yellow had crossed my mind too, I was thinkin it might be too much, but I can always change it and I am a Sabres fan! So I think Yellow or Blue, red is everyhere lol.

BlueVibe09

Red had crossed my mind, it would defenitely make them pop.

BlueVibe09

I'm thinking of painting my brake calipers when i get my new rims (if I want to put the effort into it!). The car is dark blue and the windows are tinted so I was thinking of going with black or blue. What's everyone think? Feel free to ad a choice if you want!

Well I went out to the garage to check out my mountain bike which I haven't had time to ride since the begining of last summer.

I actually just made a Rod holder that mounts into the roof rack mounting holes (I don't have a roof rack). I've got 6 1/2' and 7' baitcasters that don't break down and it works out great. I used 4" PVC and modified some cheap "L" brackets from the hardware store. The back end has a t...

The Sony's are definitely a marked improvement over the OE speakers. And the price is VERY resonable. Cleaned up the muddy bass and mids from factory speakers and the highs aren't tinny or brittle. They would benefit from an after market HU I'm sure. I love Polks but didn't feel like spending the mo...

I don't have M&T but I put 6 1/2" speakers in the doors of my '09 and had to make a mounting ring to fill the gap in the stock mounting hole. It looked as though 6 3/4" would have fit perfectly. I think they are a recomendation from Crutchfield as well? Might be something to check into...

Quote, originally posted by vibolista Â»Nice rims. What tire/size/brand are you going to stick on the new rims? The OE tires? You can get a quiet, smooth riding summer tire and kinda +1 it, by going with a 215 width. To keep your wheels looking really good for a long time, wax your rims twice a year...

Hey everyone, I'm about to order new summer rims and am looking at the Konig Incident 16". Anyone seen these rims on a Vibe? I'd love to get 17's or 18's but I'm not because I want to maintain a larger sidewall and smooth ride. Any opinions? Thanks!

I'm trying to install an amp in my '09 vibe using the stock HU. I don't have M&T. My problem is that I have tapped into the GREY wire next to the BLUE wire in the HU harness assuming this would be Accesory power I need for the remote turn-on of the amp... Still the amp doesn't turn on. The amp i...

I just put a Boss Bass1200 powered sub in my '09. It's a low profile powered sub that fits under the front passenger seat. Adds plenty of bass to the stock system... Nothing like a couple 12's but it's cheap, simple, and doesn't take up any cargo room!

BlueVibe09

There is some smell associated with it right now, it's only a couple days old. It hasn't been above freezing here either so I don't know if it would be worse in the heat. I'm hoping that it will go away in time and might hang it in the garage to air out... all in all it's not really bad. The origina...

First Mod to my '09 Vibe. Needed to find something inexpensive to keep my music gear from sliding around in my cargo area and didn't think that carpet would quite cut it.
