Nice progress so far. I totally agree with making it look like the 03-04 Vibes! The best looking noses of all Vibes in my opinion! Keep us posted and great to see it coming along at a good pace.Mark wrote:A couple pics of her all torn down. He already has the replacement hood, fender and bumper and some other parts including radiator, A/C condenser and fan from an '04, so when she's done I'll have the older style grill on an 08. Sweet!

x2 ! What about the wheel well cladding? Looks more of a brown than a gray. Maybe it too will eventually blend in with the other trim pieces. Either way it looks real good, especially with the retro nose jobvibrologist wrote:That looks like a very good repair. Perfect color matching is just about impossible even with computer analysis. He deserves a thumbs up.
He tried really hard to match it, but nothing he did worked. I can either live with it (most likely) or have him paint the rest of the cladding to match.tpollauf wrote:x2 !

Any pics of the hail damage ??? Just how bad was it?Mark wrote:Yes, this is a really old thread. But Stealth got totaled and repaired again, this time by hail.
Big storm on 7/29 and they gave me the Vibe and a check for $6k, cost ~2k to fix including the busted windshield.
I'm now money ahead on this car, and I still have full coverage and a $500 deductible.
I really like that idea As long as you have somewhere to park itMark wrote:I might buy this one and then fix mine to keep as a "spare".
Correct! I saved your image to my hard drive. Then uploaded that photo to a third party site (cardomain, photobucket, etc...) and then copy/pasted the image FROM THEIR SITE into the GenVibe "img" tab. I used to use cardomain but they went through major changes to where everybody lost photos, privileges, etc. so I found a different site from over in Europe that I use for hosting pics. Maybe others here can chime in on the Google thing. I'm not too familiar with what can/can't be done with their images.Mark wrote:From the page source it looks like you saved it to a different site?
