Hello, I'm a new member and a new 05 Vibe 5 speed owner. I currently live in Nova Scotia, Canada, and have a few upgrades and modifications in mind which I'd be glad to share on here! I'm an avid outdoorsman so I'm leaning on more of an all-terrain build with some quality of life improvements where I can make them. I'm also currently a student, so most modifications will be made on a shoestring budget with lots of elbow grease. My Vibe is a red 2005 base model 5 speed, complete with an odometer at 299,999km and non existent rocker panels. Thanks for having me!

Good to see a fellow Canuck on here. Post some photos, I wanna see what a Vibe without rocker panels looks like.

I think he means they're rusted out.
Yeah, sadly I meant rusted out. Soon to be replaced though!
Welcome to GenVibe . Guess this Vibe never saw the Krown/RustCheck dealer Post pics when you find the time and also progress on the rocker panel replacements. While under there, check for other potential cancer ....... there's likely more
For those interested, I've got a rocker thread going over on the exterior section with all the info I have so far! This car is honestly a mystery, I got it in a trade from a used car dealer who got it in a trade. It has evidence of being neglected (rotten rockers, dirty, leaves up the wazoo) but also evidence of being cared for (AGM battery, Sub wiring, NGK Iridiums, full synthetic oil, near unworn interior). Until I got the car I had no idea how fun they are or how much community is behind them! At first I was bothered by the lack of parts and most aftermarket but it's really given me practice with my CAD and 3D printing skills!
