Welcome back, Christo! With the gas prices rising the Vibe is a great deal to drive. Love the Fusion and the HID Projectors. I can't wait for summer also.

In the same way, I got a question for Viberz with non-OEM wheel...I got some used wheel... and I want to put Pontiac center cap in place of the FAST center cap... After removing them from my wheels, I noticed that the clips were very different between the FAST and the PONTIAC center cap...I want to put that kind of center cap :Can somebody confirm me or explain me how to fit those cap in my wheel???Thank you!

In fact, for my retrofit, I used Hella E55 Projectors from a Mercedes...So, I had to cut my reflectors to fit the projectors... and I glued them after...Very difficult to align and be to the right level when it's time to glue...Too, there are not angel eyes in my lamps... So, I recommand you to get a HiD Projectors Kit from KeithVibe... I plan to get projectors from him to redo my headlamps.... but I need to buy new reflectors before!

I sell all types of projectors now not just the china ones The e55 is a huge projector. It looks good in the headlight, why are you changing it out? Not that I'm complaining if you buy the items from me. I do have a set of 03-04 headlights sitting in the basement, one needs a buffing that I haven't had time to get around too.

Can you let me know your price for the 03-04 headlamps by PM Plz???As you mentionned it, the e55 is really huge... and when it's time to retrofit, it's hard to be at the right level... when you glue a projector...When you use the H4 like you are using, the projector need to be at the right place 'cause it's using the socket ok the OEM projector to be mounted!

UPDATE!!!Here's a pic taken about 3 weeks ago before leaving for 1 week of camping!I know, the waves on the trailer are OUT OF DATE, but it's not mine... 2 days later, my back window was broken when I get out of the shower... I don't know WHO or WHY, but nothing was missing in the car.The next morning, I stopped to a garage... 325$ for the parts that the guy will only get the next morning and 1 hour of labour... so about 400$ to fix the problem!EXPENSIVE!I bought clear plastic film and red tuck tape to continue on my way of vacation.Coming back home the next monday (July 11) I took my phone and called a salvage yard around my town... he was asking 125$I changed the back window by myself... Tried to tint the window but without succes.The only problem, the threads on the wiper motor shaft and inside the nut that are holding the window's handle against the window are.... dead.... The handle is loose!If someone can help me, it will be appreciate!Thank you!
