I know you said you aren't endorsing any of those links, but have you had any experience with Unleaded Racing? They are very close to where I live and i'm still looking for info on local shops (Downriver).

chaotic_amber

Ahhh...Bonus money...that explains a great deal.

I did fill out the survey and gave a good rating, the only negative comment I had was that when I asked to test drive an AWD I was told 'Sure no problem' then taken on an extended tour of the parking lot only to find that they didn't have an AWD there. I had to wait a half an hour for them to run ou...

Ok, when I was at the dealership checking out the Vibe a month or so back I was told at least three times about the Survey they would be sending out. I was even shown a laminated copy of this all important Survey. Then, about a week after purchasing my Vibe I got a letter advising me that 'Very soon...

chaotic_amber

Ok, the temp finally topped 60 degrees (15 celcius) as reccomended in the intall instructions. I went out on my lunch break armed with a roll of fishing line, some q-tips, alcohol and a lint free cloth. My Vibe is de-badged entirely and I have one of my custom decals installed.A question. I was as c...

chaotic_amber

Got em! They look great!Now all I have to do is wait for a warm day to install them and my Vibe will be looking sharp.

Ok here is me in my latest kilt.

After a week or two of me changing my mind back and forth, I just placed an order for some custom Grafxwerks decals, decided to go with the shield from my families coat of arms rather than my avatar pict. Now all I have to do is wait...I can be patient...no, really I can.Are they here yet? How about...

chaotic_amber

True, but i'm one of the people who wouldn't do that myself cuz I KNOW I would mess it up. I've found one place that will do a vinyl overlay in OEM colors, I'll post a link when I get home tonight. Not sure if I want to go this route but perhaps somebody here has had experience with them.

chaotic_amber

Agreed, check Edmunds.com they have a section that will get you a local price with all delivery charges and what options you want etc.

chaotic_amber

FYI- I just got an e-mail from Bob at Acculaser, still no dash kit available for Salsa. They do offer a paintable kit, but if you have to get something painted why not just pull the parts from your own dash and have them painted instead of buying a kit for $120.00?

chaotic_amber

Not yet, I need a few more things to install them (wire/crimper etc) I'll swing by in a day or so to pick all that up. Hopefully sometime this coming week. I downloaded Raginfishs install pdf and I think (hope!) that I can do this on my own.

chaotic_amber

Finally a decent day here in Michigan. Got my car washed and all shined up and took the first pictures. I figure these can represent my 'before' pictures until I can get to work on a few modifications.

chaotic_amber

Yeah, those are the exact ones I was looking at. Based on the dimensions you gave in one post I figured the first one was the one you had, the smallest one is the one I think might fit (i'll have to take a ruler out with me at lunch some day) to the left of the steering wheel, but I do sort of think...

chaotic_amber

Do you already have the head unit? If so what kind, if you don't mind me asking. I have been searching and I found a small one at Radio Shack that would probably fit to the left of the steering wheel if I got rid of the blank plates next to the trunk release. The only problem being that its radio Sh...

chaotic_amber

Did you ever get your CB installed in the dash? I'm kinda interested in installing one myself. The remote option is ok, but I think installed in where the household plug is would be much better.

chaotic_amber

I'm still a bit new to all these modifications...Do those go in in front of the OEM honeycomb ones or do the stock ones get removed and those put in their place?

chaotic_amber

You should keep an eye on Ebay, UPS dropped mine off yesterday, with shipping and handling I only paid 39.00$ brand new still in the box.

chaotic_amber

I should be able to make it.42

chaotic_amber

Ohh, now the black chrome I like. Where did you find that?

chaotic_amber

Ok, I just won an Ebay auction for a set of Hella Supertones (39.00$ with S/H) I'm still ironing out a few details with Ryan at Grafxwerks for custom decals and I ordered my vanity plate from the DMV this afternoon. I'm not looking to do any major remodeling in my Vibe, just sort of personalize it a...

chaotic_amber

That is exactly the sort of thing I am looking for here, because I don't really know any shops in my area. I have seen a handful of Vibes in my area, I was hoping someone could recomend a body shop or something.Trdvibe, it was seeing pics of your painted dash that made me start looking for something...

chaotic_amber

I wouldn't mind swapping out the interior bits on the dash and such and that sounds like a reasonable price range, but looking online the closest I can find is overlays, and in very limited colors. I have yet to see one that comes close to matching the Salsa exterior. I have found a few overlay kits...

chaotic_amber

Ok, I'm Downriver (just south of Detroit, MI for the non-locals) and I'm looking for any decent shops for car accessories and modifications. Since finding this site and getting my Vibe I've definately been bitten by the modification bug. Well I'm in talks with Ryan at Grafxwerks for some decals. I s...

chaotic_amber

Glad I got a Vibe when I did. One of the things that I love about it is that it DOESN'T look like a standard issue suburb style wagon.Bland is indeed back...yuck.

chaotic_amber

Another quick question. On Grafxwerks which of the reflective colors most closely matches Salsa? Looks to me like Reflective Dark Red should be the best match.

chaotic_amber

Ok, I picked up my new Vibe this evening and I am already feeling the itch to make it 'My Own.'I plan on removing the Vibe badges on the doors and from the liftgate. Probably will remove the Pontiac badge from the gate as well, but I'm not certain yet. Is it possible to re-position a badge? For inst...

chaotic_amber

Make that TWO new owners. I just picked up my new Vibe today and I love it! The folks here at Genvibe have been nothing but helpfull since I found this site. I'll post pics within a day or so when I have a camera and daylight together at the same time.

chaotic_amber

Thanks again for that certificate Maxx, after going over pricing with the dealer the end result was just a hair more than I had been intending, but I decided that it should be worth it. Without that certificate I simply would not be able to afford it. The dealer just called me to let me know that he...

chaotic_amber

Actually my wife thought the xA looked ugly too, but one of the things that drew me to it in the first palce was that it resembled a Vibe. I sort of thought it looked like the hybrd betweena Vibe and a PT Cruiser.Based in part from some of the forums here I am now very strongly leaning towards the V...

chaotic_amber

I Test drove an AWD. It was snowing/raining here and I wanted to get a real feel for how it felt on slick roads.I'd pretty much narrowed my options to the Scion xA when someone helped me out with a GM in the Driveway certificate that brought the Vibe down into my price range. Also since it is a GM p...

chaotic_amber

Ok, I have been looking at sites like this for a few months now to get some of the real dirt on a car before I even considered looking to buy one. Not that I don't read the official proffessional reviews, but I value the consumers voice even more. People who actually drive these cars on a daily basi...

chaotic_amber

I'm considering buying a Vibe (got a 24 hour test drive sitting in my driveway right now) and I've already gotten a lot of help from these forums.I read here about someone making it a condition of sale to have the battery upgraded. What exactly should I ask for? I know next to nothing about cars so ...

chaotic_amber

Where did you IM me at? If its a feature of the board I may need a walkthrough, i'm brand new here...

chaotic_amber

I just got referred here from one of the Edmunds.com Town Hall boards. I'm looking at possibly getting a Vibe AWD (suggested by Maxx4me) and with price being a big factor I am pleasantly stunned to see thses certificates free for the asking.So, without further ado...Does anybody else have a GM in th...
