Vibe Press Kit

I came across this on eBay a few weeks ago and figure why not bid on it. Not sure I've seen this here or not. Anyways for posterity and archival purposes I'm posting images of the kit here. You'll have to excuse the dust on the slides, I lost my brush I used to use with my film scanner.

That orange doesn't POP at you.... seems bland.

Yes those are great looking wheels. These are the exect wheels: http://www.tirerack.com/wheels...BrandIf I could pick ONE wheel for the Vibe that would be them. Im a big fan of 5 spoke designs.

Quote, originally posted by Herb Â» 265/40 18 tires. Those didn't make it to the production line. And... did they ever offer the polished metal/chrome trimmed shift knob?Agile Yellow. Too bad it wasn't on the option list. Maybe it was going to be too much competition for the sun. Those shots were done in a studio, so who knows how good or bad that paint would have looked in the real world. Anyone ever think about how good it would have been if Pontiac had made the roof rack about 6 to 10 inches longer? To be really usable, we always end up having to stick a Yakima or Thule bar farther forward on the roof. Glad I bought one, still.

NSimkins had those exact rims on his Monotone Frosty Vibe (aftermarket of course). Vibe GT is the only model that came with 16" Aluminum Rims standard, an option for the Base and AWD models.And yes, that shifter was standard on all GT models from 2003-2006; in fact when you place the car in reverse, the vehicle would beep. 2003 Vibe GT is the most desirable of the model years as it has the most hp; every year after there was a hp drop due to new emission parts/standards.

I think they stopped making the first "round" of GTs in 2005, as I was looking for new ones in 2006, without luck. Should'a bought one used!

That press kit worked on me. I want one!The six-speed manual must have been pretty unusual back in 2003, so such an inexpensive car.

vibolista · Post by **vibolista** » Tue Apr 20, 2010 12:44 pm

Kincaid, back then it was very unusual on any car! I wish they made the 5 speed shift knob with that nice chrome trim on it. Very nice looking!
