Need some opinions

Post by cherryredvibe06 »

I have a salsa red 06 vibe and I am looking for opinions on what you think I should do to my vibe, I want to put some rims on it so what do you all think will accent this red, and I would like to know what else should look good on the car!!!!!

Welcome to GenVibe :D Oh and you have the BEST color too :o Seeing how you're up here in SNOW country like so many of us here, I'd definitely start off with a nice set of "summer wheels" and keep your original ones for the winter. Several of us do just that to our Vibes. Other than that, possibly some lighting mods, audio mods, window tint, etc.... Look over some of the thousands of posts here to get ideas. Again ................. WELCOME :)

Welcome! Many ideas for mods are out there. How I got from stock to where I am now was by checking out the garage threads of other members, and getting ideas that way. Feel free to peruse my garage thread (click on my sig pic) and get some ideas. You could paint your cladding a different color, like maybe Plasti-dip it black. Then some black rims with red accents would look pretty sweet, especially with a drop.

This definitely. I used to not like red rim accents but now I just love them.

Looks like you could use some tint.

+1 on the black rims.

Since you have steelies on them now, make those your winter rims.

I like having rain vents, splash guards, and a hood deflector.

On the inside, all weather mats are a plus in fall (leaves), winter (snow), spring (rain/mud), and summer (sand).

Center console 12v plug mod gives you an extra outlet for electronics, if you have a lot.

LED bulb conversion saves your battery and gives brighter cabin lights.

Welcome!

I like the mods you don't see. Click on the link in the signature. I enjoy nice clear sound from my Moon &Tunes radio thanks to sound deadening, lumbar support and better ergonomics regarding the seat position.

Someone put great fitting seat covers on his Vibe. He found them on E-bay (I don't recall the brand) and they come with color accents. I know they have red and I think they would go great with our Salsa Vibes.
