Nice... yeah it was fun. I had a good time trying to get home this evening once they started shutting down woodward in pontiac.

smeadows7

Any Michigan genvibers planning on hitting up woodward this weekend? It might be cool to get some people together and show some love for the Vibe.I'll be out there tonight and tomorrow night.

smeadows7

I was wondering where you got that front lip? It looks nice and its not tacky. Exactly what I've been looking for.

smeadows7

Very interesting... thanks for posting.

smeadows7

Ok so I figured out the knocking noise. I hadn't tightened the top nut on the strut mounts enough. So problem solved there.I took a picture so ya'll can laugh at how ridiculous my car looks right now.. Yes I know it's dirty.

smeadows7

I am getting a slight knocking noise from the front struts when I go over bumps. Any ideas what this might be? Could it be because the back is not lowered yet?

smeadows7

Thanks everyone for all the great advice. I love being able to hop on here and talk with people who've gone through this and know what they're doing. I will try to take a pic of it with the front on s-techs and the back on the stockers... it looks pretty goofy ha.

smeadows7

Well I was finally able to get the fronts done. I did end up having to replace my driver side stabilizer link because i had to cut the bolt off. There are a few weird noises going on but I'll figure that out today. Unfortunately I have to go back to work so wont be able to start the rears until satu...

smeadows7

Very nice.

I got some s-techs and tokico blues yesterday so i decided to try the install myself. Wow is this ever a pain. Good old Michigan weather has everything seized and rusted together. I've been PB Blasting everything like there's no tomorrow and it helps but I'm stuck. I've got the front strut assembly ...

06vibe, I appreciate your concern You will be happy to know that after months of exposure to the sun the tails have faded out a little bit. They look better now. By the way... is that your 3? Is it the turbocharged mazdaspeed?I love those things!

smeadows7

Lookin' good. I like those roof caps in black too. Hmmm...

smeadows7

No doubt. It was in really good shape too. How are you doing?

smeadows7

Well it looks like the guy sold the GT before I even had a chance to drive it or anything. I guess it wasn't meant to be haha.

smeadows7

So I'm driving down the road yesterday and notice that there is an abyss vibe for sale. It is very clean and it also happens to be a GT. Original owner, non-smoker, 109,000 miles, new tires, new clutch, new, battery. They are asking 6900 for it. As it stands I'm still paying off my 04 base but a par...

smeadows7

Oh man... frisbee golf! Too bad that would totally defeat the purpose of being there haha. But I do love me some frisbee golf.

smeadows7

A definite maybe

smeadows7

This would be fun. I'll have to see if I can swing it.

smeadows7

Ok here's a pic of the front. I will try to get a pic of the rear bumper on here once the vibe is clean again haha.

smeadows7

Haha thanks guys I appreciate it.Yeah it's painted. I just used some dupli-color gloss black from O'Reilly's. Sanded down the clear coat with like a 1500 and 2000 grit paper. (It doesn't take much) Made sure it was clean, then did like 3 or 4 thin layers until it looked uniform. Once it was dry I hi...

smeadows7

Thanks for the love everyone.Yeah they will be a little more work than the stock rims but I'm one of those weird people who actually enjoys cleaning their car haha.Vibolista - I went with just cheaper tires. They're GT Radials cuz I'll only be using them during the nicer months. They are 225/40ZR18....

smeadows7

Another one...

smeadows7

I decided it was time to finally buy tires for the 18's since the terrible Michigan weather is pretty much over.Here's a couple pics. Hope you guys enjoy.

smeadows7

So sad to hear. Glad everyone is ok though.I will carry on a part of your vibe man... (and hopefully more parts haha)

smeadows7

Hey psycho thanks for posting these pics. They should prove to be useful

smeadows7

They're going for about $170 on neverenoughauto.I really want sportlines but can't find them for much cheaper than like $240I've been checking out B&G lowering springs too.Anyone had any experience with these?

smeadows7

I found them on neverenoughauto.comhttp://neverenoughauto.com/ind...61900

smeadows7

I was shopping around and noticed that Megan Racing makes springs for the vibe.They have a two inch drop and are quite a bit cheaper than say sportlines.Has anyone tried these springs or know of anyone that has?

smeadows7

I know this is kinda an old thread but I can't access either of the links for the diy spring install. Can anyone help me out?

smeadows7

Quote, originally posted by VforVIBE Â»Ah, very nice looking, I always thought the silver Vibes did the debadged look the best... I really think the black bumper looks good... are you thinking matte or shinny black? What did you get done to the front bumper, I've never seen that before. One thing I ...

smeadows7

Thanks! No the tail lights are real. No touching up there.

smeadows7

Hey all, I'm still fairly new to genvibe but just wanted to say thanks to you all for being so helpful. Anyway, I'm starting to get the itch for spring mods (already). One thing I want to do is paint my rear bumper. I made a little mock up of what it might look like and just wanted to see what ya'll...

smeadows7

The tint is looking good man. I can't wait for spring! I've already got the itch haha.p.s. where'd you end up getting that midgate spoiler from?

smeadows7

Wow that GT-R kit is bad! I wish that was available.

smeadows7

Your Vibe is very well done man. I am jealous.
