New to me 09 AWD Black Vibe

[DarkBetty]

I am loving this car!!! I get my stereo and new LED lights for my front end installed tomorrow.. Won't have pics till the snow melts as I am in Alaska.. Was wondering if anyone could give advice, as I am trying to get it to look more like the GT Model. I have plans to streamline it as I do not need a roof rack, and found a GT factory spoiler at a GM Superstore for $206 for all the parts needed. Also looking for pics with tinted windows with 70% light transmission as that is our legal tint up here.. I have big plans for my new baby. I want to get a cold air intake installed as well, so I can use any and all info/advice. Also, random but weird, I have no fog lights, and wanted to know what would be best for self install.. Been looking around on here for a couple weeks and fell in love with you guys! Look forward to hearing from anyone!!!!

Welcome! You'll definitely want to get a GT spoiler for your car. Even if you keep the rest of the car stock the spoiler will make the car look a lot nicer I'm pretty sure you can get the fog lights installed, plenty of folks here done that.

Here's pic of my vibe with 70% tint up front for your reference. That's the legal limit here in CA too but I went darker after a while lol

[DarkBetty]

Oh honey it's GORGEOUS!!! I'll prolly go a tad darker too, I am actually from Cali! Yours I'd what I aspire to have mine look like, I am so excited to get it back today.. I found the rims used from a buddy of mine that I will have my summer tires put on..

Welcome to the site! I don't blame you in making it look like a GT; the styling is AWESOME. Cool wheels too!

[vibenvy]

Welcome to GenVibe! Removing the roof rack and getting a GT spoiler are both great ways to "streamline" the look of your AWD. As far as intakes go, many 2009-2010 2.4L owners here, including myself, have the K&N Typhoon intake (#69-8613TS). Check out my Garage threads (linked in my signature below) for pictures of how this intake looks when installed. FYI, this intake can be found brand new on eBay for just over $200.00 . Many owners here have installed factory fog lights on their 2009-2010 Vibes. It seems pretty simple to do from what I have read from those that have done it. Glad to hear you found us and are enjoying our wonderful site and your "new" Vibe! I look forward to seeing pictures of your Vibe once the snow melts !

[DarkBetty]

Seriously gushing, I love you guys!!!!!

Calm down & chill out DB Us GenVibers here are willing to help you in your time of need. I just may have exactly what you're looking for!





I have 14 of these and they were given to my by another GV memeber here three years ago or so. Not sure if they're for the 2009-10 Vibe but
seeing how he also gave me SEVERAL radio knobs (still have 20 or so if anyone out there needs some) which fit the 2009-10 Vibe radios, I'd guess
they are for our generation Vibes. Verify by checking the part number and get back with me.

Yeah sometimes the hand held devices do not allow/support inputting data whereas a laptop/desktop computer does! PM me your mailing address and I'll get a pair of these sent off to you ONCE YOU VERIFY that this is indeed what you need. Thanks

So here I am again.. I just had my headlights replaced with a white light and neglected to have my DRL's done to match, and I feel like a moron, but what is the part number for them?? Are they considered high beam or low beam? Lol, thank you all for your support!!! I am going to have it washed Tuesday so I can post some pics so we have a "before" for reference over the summer when I am hoping to make my bigger changes. Much love.. D

The Daytime Running Lights (DRL) are the high beam bulbs which are #9005 (the low beam bulbs are #9006). I have a pair of LED #9005 5000k bulbs for sale if you're interested .

I just want to say agin thanks for all the support. I'm not sure if my messages are reaching Tim. We are finally going to be able to start mods in May and I will finally take pics since the Alaskan meltdown is about over. (Mud mud EVERYWHERE!!)

[DarkBetty]

So another question for you lovelies.. I have the AWD 2009 with no fog lights, and there is like a slatted insert, and I want fog lights.. Will I need to order an entire bumper? I am aiming to have this looking like a GT when all is said and done..

Nice to see you're still alive! Was wondering there for a while. Attempted to e-mail you info about the roof caps BUT you gave me a BAD e-mail address. PM me again with a GOOD address and we'll go from there. Ready to help you as soon as I can.

If you want it to look just like a GT, you'll need to get the GT bumper cover. But you can get fog light bezels and retrofit fogs in the AWD/Base cover. A few have done it and there are write ups on how it worked.

Here's the how-to for installing OEM fog lights into the 2009-2010 AWD / Base front bumper cover.

Thank you again!!! I have pics coming tomorrow of what has been done so far!

Hi Tim,

I realize this is an old thread, but do you have any of those hole covers left? I am missing one and cannot find any online. Should be GM 19184013. I attached a picture of one of my remaining covers on my 2009 Vibe GT.

Thanks!

Cheers,
Chris

[tpollauf]
