Thank you! I'm happy to put another Vibe on the road. As for the bumper, let's just say if money wasn't such a factor in this rebuild, I definately would have bought OEM. It does serve the purpose though.

WooTinn

BUMP.Updated with a few pics.

let me know what y'all think.

WooTinn

Well, I've been busy, but I'll be driving the vibe in a few weeks. After getting everything close enough, I test drove it and it needs a clutch. I ordered wheels/tires, and the clutch today. I'll be finishing everything up in the next few weeks. also, pics to come!

WooTinn

I Think so also

I was bored today, so I decided to do the DRL/auto lights delete mod, along with the fogs anytime mod. This way my hid's won't randomly blind someone at dusk.

http://www.discounttiredirect....07420I'm ordering asap I love the look of those wheels.

WooTinn

I'd really like to get new ones. It makes the car look that much better. Thanks for the suggestion though, I've used them before. Very nice site.

WooTinn

due to money, just the body panels are ordered at the moment. The front bumper and fender will be here friday, and I will cut them in and hang them. I still need to order headlights and foglights.I found a lower control arm at a local salvage yard for 65 bucks. I'll be picking that up, along with th...

You and I both!!

I'm making a garage post for it right now, it will have all the pics. I'll link to it

WooTinn

I'll take some pics of the car torn down when I get home, because pics are just so fun to look at

WooTinn

It has taken much longer than I would have liked. The mustangs buyer fell through and it's now back on craigslist. But I managed to pinch every penny I could and I finally got my vibe to it's new home. :D I have the headlights, bumper, fender, and suspension all off the car, and now I'm waiting on p...

WooTinn

Oh cool, well since i have a Vibe again, we need to start raising Vibe Awareness around here!

Good news! The buyer just came through! As I'm at work right now, my dad is getting the money and immediatley going to get the vibe! It'll be at it's new home tonight

I'm so excited!

WooTinn

Thanks for the warm welcomes everyone I'm currently awaiting the buyer of my mustang to come through with his money, so I can get the vibe out of it's prison (a U-Auto-Pull-It.. :/).

Thanks guys! I'll have the pictures up here soon. It'(removed) moderately in the front, drivers side. Front bumper and fender, but more importantly, possibly some suspension damage. I'm looking at buying a donor car, 2004 Monochromatic Neptune, no body damage, to make mine monochromatic. And to get ...

I haven't been on in a long time, on the account of my '03 Frosty's second motor giving up on me. But after a year or so, I missed the Vibe so much, I went out and bought another. :DThis time, It's an '03 Neptune 5 speed. Pictures will be available shortly. Keep in mind, the car has been in a collis...

I wave at every Vibe I see. But it's pointless.

Okay, I'm in the Shreveport-Bossier area, and I see roughly 3 Vibes a day. They are all stock, and none of them wave back at me.. lol. There has to be someone here that's somewhere close to shreveport.. It's a big place. I live in Haughton (Close to Minden) and work in Greenwood (2 miles from TX sta...

WooTinn

I lost mine as well. It's just a standard cable like you would find for a computer tower or monitor. There's no brick.

WooTinn

Wow.. You brought that pic to life... You should see what you could do for my car it needs the help.

WooTinn

Or it could be a bad heater core. Does the liquid smell like antifreeze?I don't know where the heater core is located on the Vibe, but I do know that I had the same problem in my 1988 Mustang LX 5.0, and I had to take the entire dash out to replace the heater core, because antifreeze was leaking in....

WooTinn

Well, it's all about driver's preference. Personally, I didn't like the fact that I couldn't keep my car running at night without alerting everyone. The DRL's and the Auto headlights are both tied into the DRL module. There's very involved ways to disable one at a time, but to be honest, I wasn't up...

The 7443 is a dual filament bulb, one with higher risistance and one with lower. Which creates the dimmer light and the brighter light modes.It's the same bulb for the running lights and the brake lights. Sometimes one filament will burn out and the other one will remain intact. Mine did the exact o...

i used one coat of nightshade. I did the same for my 88 Mustang and they still look as dark as the day i did them.The day after I blacked them out, one of them went out. So they are brand new. They are dark enough to look good, and light enough to where the running lights will shine through when the...

I blacked out my tail lights.

I'm not getting amazing gas mileage either. Lower than 300 miles to a tank. But my check engine light is on for a "Catalyst Efficiency Below Threshold" code.Could my gas mileage be improved with a new converter?

WooTinn

I have 190k on mine. The motor threw a rod before the transmission gave. I'd say I'm pretty happy with the reliability in this car. I bought the vibe, put a used motor out of a Corolla with 60k on it and it's back on the road. :DI would imagine any automobile will treat you how you treat it. Drive i...

WooTinn

Grommet is the rubber thingy And I ran it through the same place mando is speaking of. Works great.

WooTinn

Calling right now to find the price of a brake light bulb. :/ i drove around for 8 days like that and no one has said anything. if I could just push the brakes and walk around the car at the same time... I could check it myself. But oh well. It's getting fixed today.

WooTinn

Thanks guys! I've definitely got some experience so I'll help out as much as I can. But I'm here to learn. I appreciate all the welcomes. This place is great.

WooTinn

Well, when I get some money, I would love to lower it some, and put a lip spoiler under the rear window. Until then, I'm considering either tinting windows or getting that spoiler. I'm not sure yet.Also, I would love to get a set of billet grilles. I'm going to be a Freshman at LATech this fall, so ...

Hey Guys. New to the Vibe, not new to cars. I've been looking around and I can say that I'm happy to be a part of such a friendly and helpful community.When I got the Vibe I spent hours looking for things I could do to it (My previous car is an 88 Mustang 5.0, plenty of aftermarket there), and I fin...

Thanks! I looked forever to find parts for the Vibe and this is a great site. The DIY's are very helpful.

and it's great to be able to talk with people who have Vibes and Trixes. I feel very welcomed.

WooTinn

Well, I bought the car for 1,400 so I'm sure it's been wrecked. I'm not complaining. thanks for the welcome! Glad to be a part of genvibe!
