nice vibe, wheres the pics that show the added lights?
03 Base Model Vibe - 5spd man, manual windows & locks, only thing powered is the mirrors :D
Bought it in March 2016 with 153k for $2000 - for a work vehicle because of the cargo space, but I am really liking it for more than just work!

Welcome to GenVibe :D Are these two pics the same Vibe? They look to be different colors and the sunshade film looks different also. Just curious

Thanks! :D It's the same vibe just a few months in between the photos. The first photo is the most recent, and the second photo has a few enhancements done to it, making it look like a different color. Also I changed the sticker on the windshield from browning to an Haggard Garage sticker, I like it much better.

Thank you :) I have a few mods I'd like to do to it,
1. Radio (Looking at an android head unit right now).
2. Speakers.
3. Upgrade locks/windows from manual to power.
4. Remote start.

I also really want to install a new muffler, any recommendations?

You're very welcome ;)!

We have Magnaflow catbacks on both our 09 GTs and the sound is perfect. Not much different from stock until you step on the gas! AFAIK, Magnaflow is the only company that has a muffler that matches the shape and inlet and outlet locations of the factory muffler, but it's half the size. For Magnaflow products, check out Hott Exhaust. Hands down, the best prices on Magnaflow products and free shipping!

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Very nice! What light bars did you use? I have been thinking about putting one in the bumper myself. Did you wire all 3 to the same switch or 2 separate switches?

I used twin strobez xxl for the top two, and for the bottom one I just used a 22" off eBay. I have them on seperate switches so I can keep the strobe functionality. I used switches from eBay aswell that mount nicely in the car. I will attach links for everything when I'm at home.

UPDATE:

Since my last post I've made many modifications to Harmony (The girlfriend and I broke up so now I'm spending more time/money on my car :roll: , I'm thinking I'll just marry it. You know what they say "You're car will never wake up and tell you it doesn't love you... Anyways that is off topic.
So I've purchased new rims, a new head unit, speakers, amp, capacitor, plastidiped the chrome grill and pontiac arrow, and I'm getting the dash wrapped in an metallic grey. After installing the new rims I've decided to paint the lettering on the tires white, and the brake calipers red. I will post pictures of that when I'm finished.

I also went to the Picton aireild for Armdrop drag racing and raced it on the quarter mile (by far the most fun I've ever had in my vibe)
Quarter mile time was 16.9s

There are pictures attached of my recent mods.

Thanks!

UPDATE: September 26/2016

I've been to a few shows since the last update, and the car has certainly changed. Stickers, paint, lights, and much more!

Since my last post I've done the following:
License plate relocation
Underglow
Painted accents on the interior, as well as engine bay (Red/Black) themed
Self tensioning TRD strut bar
Painted pillars black
Dashcam (hardwired)
Red footwell lights
Wink mirror
2" lowering springs
Tow hook
Bumper quick releases



Attached are a few pictures from recent shows including: GR16 (Grass Roots), CAE (Canadian Automotive Expo), SR4SK (Sick rides for sick kids), XTS (Xtreme tuner showdown). I've yet to win anything but its all for fun anyways.
