Hey guys,
While searching around eBay for a different grille insert, I stumbled upon these overlays from sleekautoaccessories. By overlay, I mean they're just placed over the top of the grille and attached with wire. I was pretty skeptical because I wanted to DIY my own grille, but I figured this would be an easy alternative at a cheaper price than having to buy an entire sheet of mesh wire.
I think it looks alright. Personally, I think it would look a little better if my Vibe was black, but I think I'll keep it on for a month or so.
I also got around to plasti dipping my exhaust manifold heat shield, and applying some decals. I can definitely spot my Vibe in a parking lot, now.

2AZ-FE Badge from SickSpeed on eBay (only disappointing thing is that the "Z" looks like a "2" because of the font):
For not having many aftermarket parts, I'm definitely finding a lot of fun and easy stuff to make me happy. Go-go grocery getter!
