I emailed altezza warehouse too. But haven't got a response yet.But, from TYC (at http://www.elegantebytyc.com/) I like the volkswagen lampAnd the one for the Matrix

So I emailed APC and asked:"How many people/orders would it take to get you guys to make some Vibe head- an/or tail-lights? You've got some designs...like the 404708, 10, 12, 56 or the 404562TLRS, the 404526TLRS or the 404512TLCF...that would make good starting points for a Vibe taillight."...

I've got a probably dumb question, but: Besides looking cool, does dropping the car help performance any/much/at all? I understand the center or gravity will come down a little, but is the effect that noticable?

I got this response from a request I made to APC for Vibe parts:"As a former matrixowners.com member, I have gotten parts made for the Matrix. We make a bodykit and tailights for it. Unfortunately, sales were not very high for the aftermarket parts for it. We really havent gotten any kind of re...

Am I missing the boat completely, or are there no replacement taillights for the Vibe out on the market?Do the Matrix taillights fit the Vibe?

OK, got home, nice weather, nothing else to do, CAI in the trunk, no CE light lit on my dash, found a 10mm socket in the garage. 75 minutes later my CAI is up and roaring. 15 minutes after that I'm roaring down a couple roads, playing with the lift, the sound, the joy, the lust.

No, no answer, but I did install my CAI. I'll post another thread with pictures and details.

Thanks. This is a good start. What's interesting is that there are no new TSBs, at least nothing after May 2004. Maybe there is just a lag between internal GM/Pontiac postings and publication.

That is a BEAUTIFUL thing. The best cars are the cars that get used. Cars are are the most fun when they get abused. You look like you've got a great car that's a lot of fun. And the scenery is most excellent!

I just took a 270mile round trip, got exactly 30mpg on the out-bound leg. Looking at the gas gauge, I probably got similar on the return leg. This is my GT and I did not hit Lift once the whole way, just to see what would happen.That's probably the best mileage I've gotten all in one big chunk.

Yup. The mechanic was perplexed, but apparently there is a TPB (?) out for the part. The Rocker Arm Actuator went kaput.
