Blackout the tail lights and get some headlight blackout covers like mine... that would look sick!

Agreed...I already looked into the tails, gonna get that done locally soon. I like the headlight blackouts, but it's annoying to take 'em off and put 'em back on all the time, that's why I split the difference and went with the projektors instead.

What did you use to get your HVAC controls uniform in red? It ended up using Oznium's Fledxible LED Strip and it didn't get the desired effect like yours. ALthough I actually like the way mine loks now, I would just like to know what you done in case I change things up.Sorry, I forgot to mention that you Vibe looks sic!!

Honestly, I can't remember what exactly the color of mine was since it's been blue for so long. I do know, well at least i think, that it wasn't red, which is really odd since mine is an 06 also.

Bought my first set in 2006 from AutoAnything.com... had an accident replaced them with a used set bought off of a fellow genviber... lost one driving this winter have not had any luck finding a place that has them in stock. "Discontinued from the manufacturer" is what Andy's Auto Sport said when I tried to place an order recently. Pretty depressing because I loved the look and it was cheap.AutoAnything doesn't even show them as an option for the Vibe on their site anymore.

Audio is installed!The guy at the audio place was shocked at the output I got from that 10" Soundstream sub... said he would have thought it was a 15 or two 12s don't know if it's the tuned enclosure to sub specs (Khaoik box), sub (known for being a quality Ol Skool SQ sub) or the combo but I am impressed Also now have about 14 sq ft of damp pro in each of the two front doors They are solid now!It has been raining like crazy lately, so here are some crummy cell phone pics for now:Custom tweeter podsMid

So you've had you seat covers for quite a while now. How is that light grey holding up?And just how long long HAVE you had those covers in?

The light grey is holding up well. A bit easy to get dirty but a good scrubbing should clear it up. Accidentally punctured the back of one of them 3 years ago while moving some sharp metal objects, but it hasn't run or gotten any worse since that incident.I first put these on in February '07, they fit great, look nice, and came with the additional console cover. Overall, great quality. Love that they are neoprene (waterproof, like a non-rubberized wet-suit) and wash up pretty easily. Optional vibe logo cost extra but was worth it to me I hope to get the back seat cover soon. I believe Ponta has some in her '09 as well.

Also bought their $15 clean/protect kit. I'll be cleaning mine in the next couple of weeks (some stains from the winter) so we'll see how those come out.Way to spam everyone's posts with seat cover questions, Psycho Hope you join us in awesome seat cover land soon!

It's in Seattle, a random neighborhood a few miles outside of downtown. Pretty amazing bridge too when you see the view the other way.

Long story... initially yes but had a short issue that was popping my parking light fuse. Was an issue that took some professional help to diagnose. Good news is I did my part properly, just needed some extra help when it got beyond my limited knowledge.I am, however, and expert at removing the front end now
