Man, I sold those exact rims, with great tires for 200 Bucks, when I upgraded to my first set of 18"s. They def. look better than the first 3 choices.

(Double D)

Love the look of the vibe DoubleD! it just keeps getting better and better![/quote]

Thanks NASCAR, This little car is starting to become a bit of an obsession.

(Double D)

Loving the CF wrap... Looks great. Thats on my short list.

(Double D)

I have a K&N Typhoon on mine... and its a base model. It fit no problem.

(Double D)

Alright, I know that its been forever since I posted to my garage, but that mostly because I have been busy working on either the kids car or doing more stuff with the Camaro. So I figured I would spend a little quality time with the Vibe. So here goes, I got new staggered XXR wheels and tires, Fron...

(Double D)

My Bet is on a tire being out of balance, but you may want to check to make sure that your ball joints have not loosened up. I had both the nuts on my ball joint loosen up and caused a vibration on mine.

(Double D)

Welcome back.

(Double D)

Yep, thats next weeks project. The pic doesnt do the wheels and tires justice... I will post some more in my garage soon.

(Double D)

So I lost my mind the other night and decided to see if I could run with this wheel and tire combo. Fronts are a 18"x8.5" with a streached 205 40 R18 and the rears are 18"x9.5" with 255 40 R18 Tires. Wheels are staggerd, but they fit and run fine with no rubbing issues. http://i7...

Hello again GenVibe, Its hard to believe that its been a year since putting a post on here. I finally made it back from Afghanistan, and still couldnt convince my son that the Vibe is a great first car. So after some pursuading and looking around found a 1998 Z24 for him. Only now I get to teach him...

(Double D)

whenever I have 7k in disposable income. So not for a long while, LOL

(Double D)

Hey all, Sorry I havent been posting much lately, the vibe has been put on the back burner for a while. I have been busy Modding the Camaro. Enjoy

(Double D)

Really nice... But, I am not a big fan of rock star rims.... but to each his/her own.

(Double D)

Dang!!!! I only wish mine looked that good.... I would have to spend waaaaaaaaaaaaaayyy more than 4hrs to get mine even close to that clean.

(Double D)

Went to the 9pm showing last night.... took the family... 75bucks and 2.5 hours later... I have to give it a recommend, for sure... but being that we have a camaro.... I am kinda partial. Transformers

(Double D)

there are a few out here in vegas. i see like 3 a day. although they are probably the same 3. lol

(Double D)

@ Wolfman. Not offended. Ginger is the cars name. But she's more of a bad girl. If you want to take her out on a date... you better bring a S/C or a Twin turbo set up... Cuz one of them is on the upgrade list. LOL

(Double D)

Those XS's are the bike to chop up now.. its hard to find one for cheap, everybody is bobbing those things now. Thats what I was looking for when I found my shadow.

(Double D)

Looks Great!!! I really need to start playing catch up.

(Double D)

Welcome to the Genvibe family.

(Double D)

Here is my Bobber that I built.

(Double D)

@ Keith, Glad too see that Genvibe doesn't descriminate when a girl drives a BA car. Everytime the wife goes somewhere in the SS. People are like your husband actually lets you drive his car and odd comments like that. To which she prouldly pops to and says... NO this is mine... HE drives a VIBE... ...

(Double D)

Yeah... when I was stationed in japan, I use to have, a 1990 skyline R32 GTS-T. It was no GTR, But It was still a BA ride. I was pretty kewl being right side drive and all. I wanted to bring it back to the states with me but the import fees to make it street legal were just stupid.

(Double D)

Looks really good. I was thinking about doing that. Now I am gonna do it for sure.

(Double D)

Actually the rims are powdercoated, just a light grey mettallic... and yes either dark gray, or black powercoating is on the future mods list. Along with a million other things that I am sure the wife will come up with. Did I forget to mention that this is my wifes car? As far as the new retro cars ...

(Double D)

Very nice. I wish I had a sunroof.

(Double D)

Thanks for all the great comments.... Ginger is for sure the diva of the garage... she gets her spa days and gets babied like no other... Where the vibe get all the abuse and road time. I still love the Vibe and its my work in progress. But it will never have the raw horsepower that Camaro has.@ Kei...

(Double D)

I wasnt all that fond of it at first but its growing on me..... That stupid thing is like a $200 option.

(Double D)

I am right there with u. But I looked for over a year for a manual and just couldnt find one with what I wanted on it. So yeah its a automatic. But the nice thing about the 2SS is that the automatic comes with the manual mode. Thus it has a 6 speed with paddle shifters on the steering wheel.... so i...

(Double D)

Thought I would post a few pics of the real star in my garage. GenVibe meet Ginger.Sorry about the fuzzy pics, it was getting dark

(Double D)

Got the boy out this week and decided to do yet another unplanned mod. We put in a new Pioneer DVD head unit. The stock unit display was all scratched up and was becoming unreadable, so it was a good investment.StockGuttedChecking the displayTesting out the first DVD... CARS... LOL

(Double D)

VERY NICE!

(Double D)

Congrats NASCAR, as well as all the nominee's

(Double D)

Now I see Where your Vibe priorities shifted to. Harley equals deep pockets even if its a Sporty.

(Double D)

That Goldwing has to for sure be damn close to being bigger than your vibe.

(Double D)

Good Job.... I am almost there.... 1k to go.

(Double D)

Welcome to the family.

(Double D)

Welcome

(Double D)

Nothing really Raffe, It was a show winner at Dikes on Bikes. But Just not the look I was going for..... AT ALL.

(Double D)

A ninja 500, good little starter bike. Here's my bobber I built.

(Double D)

Looks good. Since you are all train gung ho. You should mount a train horn under that thing somewhere.

(Double D)

True that..... I have just swept the floor in the garage, and I had the car all blocked up on jackstands and all he really had to do was change 4 bolts for the swap. So it was sock day in the garage...LOL

(Double D)

@ AJ,AIT racing makes a full, kit, Duraflex makes a kit, and you also have the GM kit that you spoke of. I would really love to do my own with the AIT front and rear bumpers and the GM GT style side skirts like you have on yours. This is the style front bumper I am looking at

(Double D)

Thanks Ramen, I have found several body kits, so now its just a matter of making up my mind which one to get. The boy and I got out to the garage this morning and swapped out the worn out old sway bar end links. As you can see from the pic they were blown out, and before you ask yes my son can see w...

(Double D)

Voted! Lava Loyal.

(Double D)

Looking good Gekko, way to re-purpose the pt crusier wheels.

(Double D)

Thanks sublime, it was a fun build. Just a quick flip 3wks start to finish. Here are a couple more pics, you can see the hot rod style exhaust in the one, and how low and stretched out it is in the other. Not to mention it looks like the back tire is going to eat me alive when I ride it. But I love ...

(Double D)

How about de badge/re badge and re purposeHow about eVil?..or Vile?

(Double D)

So I got bored out of my mind today and decided to burn a whopping hour of my day by de badging the vibe. Cross one more minor mod off the list. Now nobody will know what kinda car I am driving. HA!

(Double D)

Hey you have to start somewhere. I just fell in love with the mono shock design on this, because is has the appearance of a rigid with the ride of a soft tail. I am too old to be riding around on a hardtail. I have put almost 2000 miles on this bike since finishing it in March. Its a fun little scoot.
