O.k., when it comes to driving in snow I listen to the guy who lives in the tundra for most of the year.
Chiadog did exactly what you are talking about: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=43368&p=496523&hil ... og#p496412" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
The rims of Pontiac Sunfire/ Cavalier fit as well. When you switch to steel rims or after market rims you need conical lug nuts because Vibe aluminum rims use flat lug nuts.
Thanks, trb....I didn't realize that "salsa" was a colour in the Vibe world. Cool! I also saw a green one today, I think it's called "Envy", also very cool!trb wrote:Welcome! Your new car does look good. I do think the early Vibes look good in silver, or salsa! Congrats on it.
Yes, they were very creative on the color names. When I was looking for our second one, I wanted a Salsa 05-08 or Red Hot Metallic 09-10 GT. I would have considered a silver one too, but my wife didn't really want to have two cars the same, let along the same color as my son's Vibe!Bigred1951 wrote:Thanks, trb....I didn't realize that "salsa" was a colour in the Vibe world.
