New Member-09 GT

Post by ea1723 »

This is my 09 Vibe GT. I am seventeen and this is my first car. I would love any suggestions and help. My dad is pretty strict on how I mod my car, but eventually I want to black it out.So far I have 50% tint on front, and 5% on the back, 2 12" JVC Arsenal 3000W max subs (they hit so heavy), JVC Arsenal Amp, and OS? capacitor i believe. I just bought some black overlays for my arrowheads, and soon will buy a FlyEyes kit to smoke my tails. I also want to make the chrome on the arrowhead orange with vinyl, and tint the fogs orange. Soon I will be getting the rims painted black. Let me know what you think!

Very awesome! My Vibe is my first car as well, though I didn't get it until I was 23. You've got a fun car there. Welcome and thanks for the pics!

Start a thread and post a pic showing your rims and use a poll to choose either gloss or matte and we can all vote on which we like best. It is YOUR car tho.lol. But second opinions don't hurt. I did the same with my grille.

If you really want black wheels I be there are a number of members on this forum that will buy your wheels from you and then you can get 18", 19" or 20" black wheels from tire rack. I think the going rate for factory 18's are $150-$200 each depending on condition.
