Been a long time since I've posted. Was out of the vibe world for a while but I'm back!
Picked up a base 03 (two of them actually) with a light hit on the front. Nice little Vibe otherwise with only 140k on it, rust free (even the hatch).
I'm thinking about the aftermarket front bumper cover that is all over ebay and the web. I'll try and attach a pic.
Couple of questions..
Who has used one of these?
How is the fit?
Reasons you like it or don't like it?
It has the upper grill openings like an 05, not like the 03. I don't know the difference but it seems like headlights were 03-04 specific or 05-08. What is the difference? Will either style bolt up to my car? I'm thinking that this bumper may want the 05 headlight since it shows the 05 grill.
I'll have to deal with the famous P0171 code and it needs struts. I'll be keeping the Red one. Considering black bumper and hood and will be swapping the aluminum rims off the other car after I sandblast the bubbles/corrosion and re-paint them. If I decide to go with black the rims will be gloss black as well. If body color front end then rims will be silver again. Not sure what I'll do yet. Feedback welcome. You won't offend me.
Doesn't look like the pic is loading. Sorry, please check it out on ebay..
