09 pontiac vibe (spitfire) GT with ninja grillz :)

[erick44]

Hey guys let me know what you think! this is just the start, planning to do much more inside and out, got an ECU on the way , the car to my left is my girlfriends car, we're looking for a decent pair of 17" tires so we can start working on hers

Before:


After:

It looks incomplete... the chrome inside the headlights, the foglights themselves, the pontiac arrow...

Good start though!

[Infinity-x]

Looks great, however have you ever considered blacking out the chrome on the front Pontiac badge? Like this:





As stated above, it might help things flow more smoothly.

I think it looks awesome!

[erick44]

Thanks for the input guys, not really worrying too much about blending it together, the logo i will leave for now as too much black takes away from the grillz, muffler is next!

Good job man. I like it.

I would actually suggest instead of painting the chrome on the arrowhead...

LEAVE it chrome and get an overlay for tha inside from grafxwerks

can't wait to see what's next

[erick44]

Got some input from the guys at my work and some of the guys said to leave the logo as painting it black looks too ricer lol might make my bottom grills match, what do you guys think of painting my headlights black the inside silver parts? Its a bit of a pain but id be willing to do it

[A Psycho Martyr]

if you make the reflective chrome black, you're gonna need projectors.
otherwise you won't be able to see at night

I suppose you could paint everything inside EXCEPT the buckets tho.
And lightly tint the yellow reflectors

^^^^^^^This^^^^^^^^

Those headlights are the (removed) awesome!!! (this censor seems to be quite sensitive...)

[erick44]

How do I get those headlights?

[A Psycho Martyr]

those were done by HIDillusiuonz. You can find them online.

KeithVibe on here also does them.( he did mine) You can find him at UltimateRetrofit.com
or look for him on facebook

Looks pretty good!

Am I the only one who thinks the best look is the black grilles with chrome surrounds i.e. factory ?

Not at all girl I too prefer them just he way they were when the car was manufactured Maybe on some other vehicles the " blacked out" grille looks good. Not on my
Vibe GT though

If you buy a a black Vibe you automatically get matching color grills....

[erick44]

Thanks for the replies everyone , im not to big on the chrome look, personally makes the car look a bit cheaper imo, everyone is swapping over to a full black out grill on the newer performance cars its a more aggressive look, deff want those headlights though, hoping to put on my muffler finally this thursday!

I like the way the grille looks on your red Vibe. To me it looks cohesive with the lower grille. I do not have the GT so my upper and lower don't match.

After looking at Infinity-x's silver Vibe with the grille all blacked out, I do not like it. I guess because of the difference in black on red and black on silver - I don't know why. I don't think it is just because yours is a GT and Infinity-x's is not (like mine).
