Milestones

Post by VibeBear »

A couple milestones with my '09 Vibe this month. Celebrated 5 years of ownership on Oct 6th and celebrating the last payment today! So glad not to have that bill anymore. Love the size & versatility of the car. Not overly impressed with the craftsmanship, definitely wouldn't buy a Toyota product after this car.

The Mods so far:
Cruise Control
Remote Start with Keyless entry (added actuators)
Swapped out the orange LEDs in the heater controls for white. (still have the TC button and inverter button to do)
Full Alpine Sound System. - CDA-9887 head unit, Type R Components in the front, Type S 2-ways in the back, PDX-5 amp & 10" Type S sub in a custom 'glass enclosure.

Future mods:
Alloy rims
second subwoofer
window tint
fog lights
power windows


Needs:
Front & rear struts
front wheel bearings

warranty Issues:
Had the charcoal (emissions) canister replaced twice.

Congratulations on you and your Vibe's 5 year anniversary and on making the final payment!

I (and I'm sure quite a few others) would love to see a how-to for swapping out the LEDs behind the HVAC controls ;)!
