Ouch! Lucky in one way with minor damage on your fender after all.Nice pics, it tells me how many holes hold the plastic cladding on this part of our Vibe and how much dirt can be trapped under it!!! Now thinking about waxing this before it's too late.

Hope to see all propositions on this forum soon. For now look at this one but don't tell me that we're not suppose to use Pontiac properties... I like it so much

Don't hesitate and put 4 good winter tires on. Remember that your life and your passenger stands on 4 "pieces-of-rubber-that-big" only !!!Also, winter tires are not only for snow. Read this: http://www.allianz.com/azgrp/dp/cda/0,,26203-44,00.htmlI installed 4 GoodYear UltraGrip Ice 16in. l...

Re: Perma-Shine product. I choose that one (mid-oil/mid-grease) which is not dripping all over and over like just-oil product. It goes everywhere but like oil, you must re-apply every year.

Welcome aboard HEDDY...I also had a Accord before and dealer's rustproofing (carecraft - 7 years warranty) applied. Paid too much for that stuff (looking like roof pitch) and may be worst than anything else. Forget about it but KROWN or any lookalike product in your area. I've been using "Perma...

Also can't wait to get few of them. My kids (don't want to say it's me... ) are asking every day for this Matchbox Vibe Replica. Let me know if any of you find one (US or Canada) Send Email to Matchbox but no reply yet.

SCTM

You're the PRO Lancer. Next time I see that sale representative (seen at Quebec annual auto show) I'll tell him that argument you've told us. Thanks. For us, up north in QuÃ©bec, will keep that insulation on, we're not in hot season for as long as yours.

SCTM

Do not remove your hood insulation. I`ve been told that in case of fire on engine compartment, this insulation will fall over the engine (of course) and help extinguish the fire... It sound realistic but may be someone of us (any firemen listning) could tell us more about that fabric if it's true.

SCTM

May be due to CDN vs US money!!!Mine were $264cdn in Quebec city and $180cdn with TIRETRENDS...I usually buy in local stores but for that first time I prefered on internet with that store far away from Quebec... but still on canadian money.

SCTM

Got mine at TIRETRENDS.COM in Vancouver BC (via UPS)great deal, how about the look?

J'ai aussi actionnÃ© l'AC cet hiver dans le mÃªme but. Essayez-le et dites-moi si je rÃªve ou que ce n'est pas "si froid" que Ã§a! Disons que je n'ai jamais eu de climatiseur auparavant mais que dans ceux que je connais c'Ã©tait plus froid que dans ma Vibe.

Young and great site. All of you fellows Happy 1st Anniversary and long life to GenVibe.

SCTM

Pas de vitres Ã©lectriques, VRAI. Je me donne encore des coups de pied au c... de ne pas avoir pris le power package lors de la commande mais... disons que les coups sont moins pire depuis que j'ai les doorlocks et le remote LOL. Faut payer pour apprendre parrait-il!

Pas de problÃ¨me mon Dan, tu peux faire tout ce qui te tente il n'y a pas de droit d'auteur lÃ -dessus LOLJe me rends compte de l'utilitÃ© des doorlocks maintenant que je les aies et sur la tÃ©lÃ©commande du dÃ©marreur Ã distance en plus.

My kids dowloaded the "Back to the Future 1-2-3" soundtrackGreat feeling but did not find the "flux capacitor" yet !!! Is this an option that we can buy on aftermaket???

SCTM

Whichever you take, don't forget to take "power package" (windows-doors-cruise and rear window) my only regret I did not. Now looking for aftermarket doorlocks (difficult to find due to flexible wire connecting hatch-lock) otherwise it's great little-big car for tall guy.

SCTM

While searching on local stores and internet, found nice place for us in Canada to buy wheels/tires. http://www.tiretrends.com Got my mags Montegi Racing MR8 on friday. Now waiting for summer!!!

SCTM

The first thing that I would change is the way to open the rear hatch door. Unless you get the "power package", the only thing that unlock-lock that rear door is your key!!! Why don't they put a simple steel-wire just like the fuel door (I've got one on my old Mazda323 '88 and Accord '84) ...
