It will increase your gas mileage slightly, it will make the Vibe sound really cool and it will make it more fun to drive by adding a little extra oomph. On a side note, I just ordered one from the above eBay seller for my mom's '09 GT last week and I got it within a couple days. They have the cheapest price you will find and great service as well. Definitely your best bet if you want the intake.

It was $257.99 with free shipping. They have come down in price on eBay over the last year. When I got mine last summer it was right about $300.00.

But on a more serious note you are BLESSED with a hubby to give you a "free ticket" for the things you want This in turn will make you happy and thus HIM happy also GO for it girl, mod your Vibe to the max Just don't over do it to where it becomes an eyesore You mentioned Rims ???? Stick with the stock 18's that the Vibe came with originally. They are very unique and Pontiac did a superior job designing them to match this car. If you decide to go with something different, you'll have NO problem unloading the existing 18's. Somebody on this site will gladly update their ride with them

When I first seen those rims I was thinking how freakin awesome they would be for you... till i read about them being plastic That totally sux!!!! Maybe you could find someone to fab you up some or contact the manufacturer and see if they offer metal replacements or something. Those just work waaaaaayyyyy to well with your ride.

Somebody on this site will gladly update their ride with them I agree about the wheels. They were the very first thing that drew my attention to the '09 GTs. They have got to be some of the nicest factory wheels I have ever seen. I wouldn't trade mine for the world, but if you do decide to get different wheels, as tpollauf said, you won't have any problem selling them to a fellow Vibe owner.Quote, originally posted by HarleyQuinn »I wanted these rims ever since i first got the car, but after reading that the v piece is plastic i'm thinking twice about it .Quote, originally posted by Wolfman213 »When I first seen those rims I was thinking how freakin awesome they would be for you... till i read about them being plastic That totally sux!!!!

Those just work waaaaaayyyyy to well with your ride.Those wheels would go well with your red/black theme for sure, but that does indeed suck that the red part is plastic. Have you tried seaching around for some wheels that are similar?

I can relate to that... some 20 years ago when I did not have on either. Since 1990 I've been in a home with an attached two car garage and when I need to do any work on my Vibe (or older F-150) I just drive the wife's G8 Gt outdoors for a while (that pisses her off!) and the garage is all mine Patiently awaiting progress pics

I got my cold air intake (which i gotta admit i'm loving it) and have a loaner headunit from my hubby, lol (until I can afford mine). Its almost the same just a newer version and also attached the steering wheel control interface Also got some monitors getting shipped to me pics of that when we install them

Thanx guys i appreciate it =D The reason i made a facebook instead was because its easier to upload and share pics of not only my car but of others rides. That way everyone can enjoy all of these beautiful rides that I encounter at car shows Hmm maybe i should make a album for just vibes, so who wants to post??? lol

I love how you've got the clear radiator hose backlit so that it glows like that. GENIUS idea! And if i'm not mistaking the washer fluid reservoir is lit up too?

Wow. You've been one busy chic lately Nice graphics & lighting effects and all the monitors on the inside You DEFINITELY are a candidate for one of my high mount 3rd brake lights when I get the time this winter to build a batch. It will add even more class to an already awesomely looking Vibe. That is SWEEEEEEEET Somehow over the summer 2011 we'll have to arrange a super meet around YOUR schedule so you can attend it. We were hoping to see you last summer but knew it was a long shot. Keep up the good work girl

Awe Thanx Tpollauf i would def like to sport that 3rd brake light on my car, since people always have to do a double take when i drive by and can't believe its a vibe I really do kick myself for not going to the meet, but me and my hubby said we were def going to the next one. I loved looking at all the pics of all the vibes together and really regret not being able to go. Next one for sure
