Yeah I've looked there and saw a metallic red one which wasn't too expensive. I think we're going to try to mold the current one with a heat gun before actually buying one. And that's good to know that the metallic orange was 2010 only.vibenvy wrote:car-part.com
Also, in case you're not already aware, Ignition Orange Metallic was a 2010 only color.
I bought it at auction, looks like it was hit by a deer because there was some fur stuck in the broken headlight lol. Driver airbag and curtain airbags went off, the driver seatbelt doesn't retract, the power mirror controls are flaky (only move the mirror left) and the radio knobs barely work/broken. Other than that, the only other thing is that the right fender needs to be lined up again due to the hit, otherwise the car is perfect. Runs quiet, moves into gear very easily and the clutch feels good.tpollauf wrote:Any other damage done to the nose? Yeah, the 2010 ignition orange color was very limited and rare. They only ran production up to August 2010 and completely stopped forever Had I known that it would have been available I may have held off on buying my Sport Red Metallic 2009 and got one myself. LOVE that color
Radio knobs are a common issue but are also an easy fix .ImN3XU5 wrote:the radio knobs barely work/broken.
Wait .... It's a 2010 Vibe GT, Ignition Orange, and a 5-speed manual tranny I almost bought that exact car What state did this auction take place in? Hope you got it for a good price!ImN3XU5 wrote: Runs quiet, moves into gear very easily and the clutch feels good.
Got it from the IAA auction in Detroit, MI, paid ~$2700 after fees and such.tpollauf wrote:Wait ....

Yup I've had the pleasure of finding that out lol. I think I'm just going to force them out with pliers, and then I found a 3d printable knob on thingiverse that I can get 2 shipped for $14 which just slide in and don't get stuck in the bezel.vibenvy wrote:Radio knobs are a common issue but are also an easy fix .ImN3XU5 wrote:the radio knobs barely work/broken.
