is it white or silver? lol..maybe it's just me but the first two pics look silver then the other two..plus your sig are white..so im assuming white..but it looks good

ajflan · Post by **ajflan** » Mon Mar 05, 2007 7:44 am

Its silver. Definitly not white. I screwed around with the contrast on my sig, I guess thats why it looks "white".

WaveAction · Post by **WaveAction** » Mon Mar 05, 2007 7:46 am

ahh ok..lol..just wanted to clear that all upeven that last image kinda looks like it's white due to the sun and all..or maybe it's just my eyes at the moment

stevovans · Post by **stevovans** » Mon Mar 05, 2007 1:31 pm

what type of wheels are you getting?

ajflan · Post by **ajflan** » Tue Mar 06, 2007 12:48 am

I will probably be getting an 18" split eight spoke design, with black centers and a polished lip.

nice set upthe car will look suweet with the new wheels! and the drop makes all the difference

ajflan · Post by **ajflan** » Tue Mar 06, 2007 11:54 am

Yeah, bein that my custom exhaust will cost me zero, I can focus all my saving for wheels. Its so hard not to spend money!

stevovans · Post by **stevovans** » Tue Apr 03, 2007 4:05 am

ajflan i am going to use your car for a wallpaper if thats okay

ajflan · Post by **ajflan** » Thu Apr 05, 2007 2:17 am

That's fine with me, but if you want to wait for a day or two, I should have pics of my car with my new wheels on. They are due to arrive tomarrow, and they will be put on immediately. I ended up going with 18x8 Ssw Imagine wheels in gloss black w/ polished lip. They are a straight five spoke design.

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Thu Apr 05, 2007 4:23 am

your car is looking great! sounds like the rims will certainly set it apart. looking forward to seeing them on the car!

MAVibe · Post by **MAVibe** » Thu Apr 05, 2007 5:54 am

Yeah! debadged!!!! Excellent. Looking forward to those rims. I like your engine cover too. I'm actually hoping to put my Injen covers on soon---if the winter ever goes away!

ajflan · Post by **ajflan** » Sat Apr 07, 2007 9:45 am

If anybody cares, I updated my pics and list of mods. Just fyi.

damronjr · Post by **damronjr** » Sat Apr 07, 2007 10:11 am

Nice engine cover!

WaveAction · Post by **WaveAction** » Sat Apr 07, 2007 12:29 pm

im with damron on the cover..looks sick, is the lettering chrome?

ajflan · Post by **ajflan** » Sun Apr 08, 2007 8:16 am

Nope, the engine cover lettering is not chrome. I just taped off the letters and then clearcoated them with the rest of the cover.

stevovans · Post by **stevovans** » Sun Apr 08, 2007 11:44 am

man i was hoping you would get some white or silver rims or something, i just loved the way your car looked before with all the similar colors...the wheels are still tight but its just not the same for me! (not my car though

)

ajflan · Post by **ajflan** » Mon Apr 09, 2007 6:35 am

I guess you just can't please everyone. Stevovans, if you still want to use one of my original pics, I can put it back for a while.

WaveAction · Post by **WaveAction** » Mon Apr 09, 2007 7:54 am

ahh ok..maybe it's the clearcoat that gives it a shine to me..which looks chrome..none the less..looks awesome..which i had an engine cover to make all snazzy lol

ajflan · Post by **ajflan** » Mon Apr 09, 2007 8:03 am

You don't have an engine cover? Just take a can of chrome spray paint and blast everything.

ajflan · Post by **ajflan** » Mon Apr 09, 2007 8:04 am

New pics up top, check 'em out. (I was bored today.)

WaveAction · Post by **WaveAction** » Mon Apr 09, 2007 8:29 am

ya..sunfires dont have engine covers..well..the 2.4 ones did..but not the 2.2...i believe..i'd have to check lol..i dont even pay attention to my engine much

melders · Post by **melders** » Mon Apr 09, 2007 10:20 pm

i love the rims...the car looks great!

stevovans · Post by **stevovans** » Tue Apr 10, 2007 10:01 am

so is that cement slab where you like to take the vibe and do some donuts?

ajflan · Post by **ajflan** » Tue Apr 10, 2007 10:09 am

Haha, the vibe can only spin its wheels in the rain. But due to the amount of rubber on the ground, I guess its where everyone else does donuts. Its where the new construction in my neigborhood stopped, so you can pretty much get away with whatever you want out there.

kevera · Post by **kevera** » Tue Apr 10, 2007 10:15 am

Haha,I can do a pretty good burn out with my Vibe.Base and all.But It's a little modified.But,the tires are too expensive.

ajflan · Post by **ajflan** » Tue Apr 10, 2007 10:21 am

What mods do you have? If my life depended on doing a burnout on dry pavement, I'd be dead. I cant even get my wheels to skip.

kevera · Post by **kevera** » Tue Apr 10, 2007 10:24 am

It's a secret.But I will take a few pics by next week doing a nice smoke show.

ajflan · Post by **ajflan** » Tue Apr 10, 2007 10:30 am

Nobody likes secrets! However, I would love to see pics of that... and multiple pics of your engine bay.

ashleymc_38 · Post by **ashleymc_38** » Wed Apr 11, 2007 8:40 am

Now I know who's Vibe that was when I went to Home Depot on 26 mile

ajflan · Post by **ajflan** » Thu Apr 12, 2007 12:09 am

Yeah, I work in the lumber department there.

stevovans · Post by **stevovans** » Thu Apr 12, 2007 1:45 pm

uh oh a little genvibe "meet" soon to happen jk hehe

slvrvibes · Post by **slvrvibes** » Fri Apr 13, 2007 9:47 pm

Your car looks great.

JesseWHHS · Post by **JesseWHHS** » Thu May 03, 2007 11:55 am

picture of the vibe smoking the tires?!?!?!?! I must see SOON!!!!! Video would be even better.

ajflan · Post by **ajflan** » Mon May 28, 2007 8:56 am

Updated original post with new pics of my CAI and header and a few random pics. Enjoy.

ajflan · Post by **ajflan** » Fri Jul 06, 2007 9:08 am

I added a couple new pics to my first post.

kevera · Post by **kevera** » Fri Jul 06, 2007 9:21 am

Don't forget to add the unichip to the list of mods.Hope you win this month.

ajflan · Post by **ajflan** » Fri Jul 06, 2007 9:27 am

I figured I'd add the unichip once it's installed. I don't like to cheat and post mods that I don't actually have yet. I'm an honest guy.

waveresponder · Post by **waveresponder** » Wed Aug 08, 2007 4:09 am

nice idea for pics ...under bridges...now if i can only find a bridge to park under

ajflan · Post by **ajflan** » Wed Aug 08, 2007 6:25 am

One tip for pics under a bridge; make sure there is not a large body of water under it.

Ninja_Logan · Post by **Ninja_Logan** » Wed Aug 08, 2007 6:30 am

very nice! clean!

Ninja_Logan · Post by **Ninja_Logan** » Wed Aug 08, 2007 9:04 am

By the way i love the valve color. Did you order that or is it the stock one just painted?

ajflan · Post by **ajflan** » Wed Aug 08, 2007 9:09 am

Thanks! I taped off the letters and painted it myself. In person, you can see a little bit of red (the color I painted it first) in the nooks and crannies of the letters, but it's not bad enough for me to do anything about it.

Ninja_Logan · Post by **Ninja_Logan** » Wed Aug 08, 2007 9:17 am

Nice, well congrats on the car its one of the best looking Vibes i've seen!And i'm totally stealing that idea and painting my valve cover silver!

hskater26 · Post by **hskater26** » Tue Sep 04, 2007 11:42 am

how come ur 2003 base came with a one piece bottom grill i want to get the same grill as u but mine is 2 pieces haha

ajflan · Post by **ajflan** » Tue Sep 04, 2007 12:20 pm

Check out Mr. Grille. I have the same bumper as you do. The billet grille just covers over the middle so it looks like one piece.

hskater26 · Post by **hskater26** » Tue Sep 04, 2007 12:43 pm

i was wondering if thats how it works.....awesome thanks..........is it easy to put in? i accidenly snapped one of the pins holding the stock grille on cause i couldnt figure out how to get it off so i just taped off everything an painted it on the car haha

wyatt89 · Post by **wyatt89** » Tue Sep 04, 2007 12:51 pm

man that thing is sooooooo clean, you truly have one of the best looking vibes on this site!!!i wish i had some dough to spend and clean up my vibe

ajflan · Post by **ajflan** » Tue Sep 04, 2007 12:52 pm

The mr. grille grilles for our car actually zip tie into place. It will take a little patience to get them nice and straight, but it's not to bad.
