http://lakesidecarcompany.com/inventory.aspLook at the bottom of the page at the vibe. Why not just put a vinyl roof and curb feelers on it? Heck crome wire wheel hub caps maybe? People stop at nothing when it comes to bad taste...

Thanks man. I can understand flame jobs. Heck I can understand blue paint made to look like water on the side of a car if you pull a boat. I can't for the life of me understand this. Is it supposed to show you enjoy running over animals and that's blood?A more obvious expl. The car probably had severe underbody damage and the only replacement cladding they could find was from a Salsa Vibe.

One person's dream is another person's nightmare. This ranks on the nightmare side for me.

Okay, I'll step up and admit it...I like it. Two-toning Satellite and Salsa is kinda neat. I would have like the flames to have been styled a little different.Oh, and nice wheels, too.Sure would like to see if the interior was modded similarly...

redlava · Post by **redlava** » Tue May 16, 2006 8:19 am

I'm with Drunkenvibe on this one. It was a pretty cool and innovative idea, just not my pick of colors. I probably would have done a nice royal blue, if I had the guts.

Thinking of custome paintjobs...I was considering getting dragons airbrushed onto the sides of my vibe, probably a silverish color or something darker, maybe black. What do you all think? I am horrible with colors so any help in color choices would be great For that matter, what do you all feel about getting a full side dragon decal? Seeing how getting them airbrushed might cost me about 3 grand or more to do. Just debating my options.http://www.awesomedecals.com/dragons1.html

It's like a bad car wreck, you want to look away, you should look away, but the morbid curiosity takes over and you stare! Jim

NascarXprt · Post by **NascarXprt** » Tue May 16, 2006 9:50 am

its not that bad of a color choice. but the type of flame is not what i would have on a vibe. id have more of a trible look to the flame.

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Tue May 16, 2006 9:53 am

ya, i actually liked the tribal flames/whatever you want to call them on my vibe. but not really flashy

JoeKat · Post by **JoeKat** » Tue May 16, 2006 11:15 am

yeah, decent idea. Poor execution.

Nomad · Post by **Nomad** » Tue May 16, 2006 11:18 pm

If it were me, I'd say the lines of the Vibe go along with more of a science fiction theme. Star Wars, Star Trek, if you want pop culture. Some kind of night sky theme if you want to be a little more artistic. I think it would flow well with the shape and flow of the chassis.Then again, I don't really have any plans at this time to paint my vibe. I like the silver sheen it has.

iinan · Post by **iinan** » Tue May 16, 2006 11:27 pm

OH great idea !! I love Star Trek ! I am going to get the cast of TNG air brushed on my hood !!

MailGuy! · Post by **MailGuy!** » Wed May 17, 2006 12:02 am

Ok. Here's the real story. I just put two & two together. There was a silver two tone Vibe at this dealership for weeks. It wouldn't sell so here is their half @ssed attempt at making it sell. The dealership also is in a town with a lot of old people. I think they wanted to spice it up without looking too edgy. You know. Kinda like Hot Topic, for yuppy kids who can't quite commit to being punk.

Katscan · Post by **Katscan** » Wed May 17, 2006 8:58 am

Hehe well, I have always had a facination with dragons and thus why I named my Vibe the Moonestone Dragon. Im not one to follow pop culture and the hipe. In the end I want to get dragons airbrushed onto the sides or perhaps a whole body paint job with dragons....although that is going to take some serious cash...which I dont have much of in abundance. So, I was considering getting a full side decal for the time being. Havent set my mind on it yet but wanted to throw the idea around to see what others may think of such an exterior addition.

If you go out to one of our many lakes, you'll find lots of waves.Rather interesting, but I don't think any of the blue-haired set would go for this particular beauty.

drunkenmaxx · Post by **drunkenmaxx** » Thu May 18, 2006 12:04 am

hey, there is nothing wrong with dragons man, i have one tatooed on my arm!airbrushed dragons would be cool. i hate the single color vinyl ones that i see on all the civics and eclipses.

Katscan Chinese or olde english. I'm not too fond of the chinese style, although I've seen some really nicely elaborate ones. I think its possible to pull it off if you can either find the one that suits the car and your taste, or go the custom paint route as long as you and the artist are on the same page. Heres a place in Lincoln that might be able to do what you want. http://www.revolutionwraps.com/
