Newbkakes garage!

Post by Newbkakes »

Here it is stock! *Not my actual vibe, I didn't take pictures before I started but it's the same damn thing*
Image

UPDATE found the only stock picture I have of my car.

Drum rollll pleaseee

Here it is now:
Image

Image
This is my Vibe so far. No, I have no clue what that white dot is.
I didn't like the silver on the car so I plastidipped it all. INB4 people say I went Plasticrazy, it's amazing (removed), yo.
I also painted the steel rims with rubberized undercoat to stop the rusting until I get new rims.
Plastidipped the vibe badge, roof rack, and rims and added my Cosmo racing CAI badge.
Image
I went on to paint the front vibe badge and the chrome, it looked out of place. You can't see the inserts but those are a decent shade of red.
Image
I tinted the tail/backup lights, looks nice and it's still bright.
Image
This is changing soon, I'm switching my theme over to grey and blue because I found an underglow kit for 50$ from a friend who hasn't even opened the package yet. Ha. So any red will soon be blue. I installed my Cosmo CAI the other day, looks and sounds great!

I obviously have tinted windows. 20% up front, 5% in the back.

UNDERGLOW:

I have to work in the morning... it's 3A.M.
Don't care. Worth it.
Interior lights are all L.E.D powered by a touch button. No pictures yet, not dark out :)

MODS INPROGRESS(Working on saving money)
Header, Catback exhaust (Will take recomendations.)
3rd Brake light will soon say VIBE

Looks great! I was thinking of doing the same thing to my roof racks and side Vibe emblems, so I'm glad I can see what it would look like. Oh, and welcome to the site!

I don't know what I should do next.
I see a lot of views but few replies. Let me know what you guys think. I'm a big boy I can handle critics.

LED license plate light mod! It's about 10$ and takes 5 minutes, you could even get blue LEDs in there to go with your underglow if you wanted to. Oh, and horns ;)

Vibe looks good man. My only sudgestion is that you find a way to hide your LED underglow tubes better. Nothing looks worse then a car rolling around town with a tube exposed. Looks like the job was half-assed put together. Other wise, looks good.
