Sorry Smokin' I have no idea, I pretty much just watched as a couple guys worked on it. Although they dident seen to have much trouble with any bolts.

LesPaul

Cool cool. Thanks!!! I'll do more research.

LesPaul

Yeah Mavrik its almost a 2 inch drop. Its the hotchkis kit!!!

LesPaul

Has anyone done this to their Vibe/matrix yet ?? Im just wondering is there a kit on the market.

LesPaul

I ordered that kit a while back, I dident like the look. I was looking for something to cover the entire silver trim, but that kit only covers the "flat" area, not the contoured area, where it joins the dash. Also, when applying the vinyl it kept stretching out of place...(especially aroun...

LesPaul

hey all, I have all 4 LED tubes mounted, but i couldent find a way to run the wires through the firewall . is there a way i can run wires through the firewall without taking off the dash.Thanks

LesPaul

thanks again guys-n-gals!!!! Im going to a couple different shops today, for an estimate. I'll keep u all posted.

LesPaul

Just wondering if u guys/gals can help me out on this one. I made an appointment with a tuner shop to get my lowering springs installed on my gt...Dude at the shop estimated that it could take 5 or 6 hours @75 $/hr. thats a little more(time) than i had in mind. Im not a "do it yourselfer"....

LesPaul

One of my fogs are broke as well. Called the dealership for a new one, the dude says it cost approx. 250CAN.

LesPaul

Lookin sharp !!!!! I have an LED kit to go on my GT. Where did you mount your LEDs???

LesPaul

...if you have an '03, as soon as u hit 6000 rpms the engine gets alot louder and your car will have tonnes on power..it just takes off !!!! ..if its a cold day your lift will not work untill the oil is at a good temperature

LesPaul

like-..LIFT, LIFT and more LIFT-gauges-shifter placement-Interiordislikes- no low end torque- crappy paint- glass fog lights

LesPaul

...I had my GT up to about 215 Km/h

LesPaul

..I know, I know...we always laugh at it..

LesPaul

..thanks guys ,..Im no mechanic so bare with me, Im assuming that the adjusting screw is the screw thats located on the back of the housing..

LesPaul

My wifes 5.0', she has no trouble closing the hatch..make sure she always slids the seat back when shes done driving.... ..my knees hurt..LOL

LesPaul

...That would be nice to know also does anyone know how to remove the whole fog light assembly

LesPaul

...no apology needed..I keep forgetting about the search function..anyway i found the link.http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=8343Im going to try this today.

LesPaul

...Im trying to take out my fog lights, I took a good look at it yesterday....there seems to be some sort of backing plate (with 2 or 3 screws) holding it in place, do i need to remove these, or does anyone know an easier way to to this...thanks guys

LesPaul

...I love strats, I have a cherry Epiphone Lespaul (couldent afford a Gibson) its pretty heavy too, but i want a Gibson SG..

LesPaul

1700....thats is a big OUCH !!!!! I'll be on the look out for a black GT...peace

LesPaul

...I've been playing for 3-4 years now. I've got a Cosmo CAI, I want an exhaust. Rims will come later. If you ever see a tinted out Lava 2-tone GT, Usually on the southside..its probably me.

LesPaul

...thats like 3 or 4 of us from edmonton.. ...Congrats on the new Vibe GT. I havent seen many GTs in the City. Welcome to the forum.

LesPaul

...Just gathering info. Im in the same situation as you Evanshall !! I dont have 5 grand to spend on the turbo, Ive got an extened warrenty id rather not void and I need my car everyday. But perhaps when our warrenties run out there might be a turbo that has been tried and tested for the GT..

LesPaul

...I drive in rush hour traffic from the downtown core everyday, the acceleration in GT is awsome for finding those holes in traffic. Just like a few other GT owners have said..its always nice to blow by idiots with fart cans.

LesPaul

With smaller ones you have, does it affect your CAI in anyway.... seeing as the CAI filter is pretty close to the fog light. Excuse me for askin so many question ...also did u wire them up so they turn with your stock switch, or did you use the one provided with the kit.

LesPaul

I got a crack in my front right fog light....called GM asked for a price, the parts person said $240 CAN. I almost lost it . Anyway I figure i can get some sweet aftermarkets fog lights for that price. Does anyone no of any aftermarket fog lights that will fit nicely in the stock facia holes

LesPaul

..thanks guys. I'll be looking for it

LesPaul

...I know what you mean. But I've looked a couple websites, such as XS-engineering.com and turbo-kits.com and they have kits for the 2zz-ge engine...just wondering is anyone did any custom work so it could fit a GT/XRS.BTW...anyone know or can point me in the direction where i can find out when this...

LesPaul

Ive noticed a few kits for the 2zz-GE, Im just wonder if anyone has turboed the GT or XRS ??

LesPaul

...I have a Cosmo CAI on my '03 GT and I havent noticed any significant decrease in gas milage. I dont know much about the ram air, but the CAI will give u a sweet engine sound..

LesPaul

...cool, keep me posted

LesPaul

....yup, I've been playin for a few years now and ur right i play a Lespaul

LesPaul

Hey everyone...I was searching for mods and found this site....decided to join

LesPaul

I bought a CAI from cosmo racing. It only cost about $110US. But when I installed it, I had to cut about 3 inches off the end. I had to do this because of the fog light housing. The comapny said it fit a 2003 vibe GT and 2003 matrix xrs. Then I thought the fog lights location differ from the vibe to...
