Hi everyone,
Just bought a 2009 1.8l Base Vibe with a 5 speed in it! Absolutely love it, Ive always wanted one and I’m glad I have one now. My old Honda refused to die!
I have a couple questions after scouring the forums to no avail.
1: can one use 1st gen vibe alloy wheels on a second gen vibe? I know they use the same 5x100 bolt pattern and the 1.8l 09/10 models are 205/55R16. I have the steelies on the car now and I want to use those for winter tires here in Michigan and use the alloys, which look a lot better, in the summer. I found some decent ones in CLASS for cheap, but I’d have to get them sandblasted and repainted (about $250 at a place I know for blasting and painting). Any advice on this subject would be most welcome.
2: does anyone know where to locate a fold flat front passenger seat? I want to car camp with the vibe and see the country, but I’m 6’3” and won’t fit unless the passenger seat folds flat. Can’t find any on eBay, and even then, they’re expensive for the ones that don’t fold flat.
3: I just bought the black OEM rear cargo shade, and I’ve wanted to get one of those spare tire covers that has the compartment for groceries in it. There’s one on eBay for $138 and the auction ends soon, was thinking of snatching it up, but wanted to make sure it would open fully and be useable without me having to take the cargo shade off every time I go to use it. Anyone have any experience with this?
