I would have to agree. I think the Lava two-tones in the best looking of the two- tones

I was wondering if anyone has a driver side mirror that they are looking to sell. I have a extra passenger that I got off Ebay, I just need a driver side one . I would like to paint my mirrors also and do not feel like driving with out one while it gets painted. Thanks

My first car was a 1986 Chevy Monte Carlo SS with T-tops. Boy did I love that car,but I had to sell it to my brother, because I did not have enough room at my apartment for 3 cars. I also at the time had a 1987 Buick Grand National and a 1986 Chevy Cavalier. I still have the GN and my Vibe GT.

I to would be interested in 2 of them, also would you be able to make them match the grey factory plastic or would it be a different shade. Please keep us updated on your progress.

I have moved a 8ft couch and a 36' Toshiba tv with my vibe. The 36' tv fit in the vibe standing up and cleared the roof by literally 1/4 inch . It was like the Vibe was designed to carry a 36' tv and nothing bigger.

Here is a picture of the Progress Sway next to the factory.Sorry picture is not that clear, but I wanted to get out and try some corners before it got to dark

I love my Progress sway bar. I can sure notice a difference when taking a corner hard or on a circle off ramp. This is a great mod for all Vibe owners.I've had mine on for 3 months now and have not had any problems...

I change my oil every 4,000 to 5,000 miles with Mobil 1 synethic. I have never been a fan of running my oils over 5,000 miles even through it's probably ok too.

polaris1000

Has anyone looked any more into this to see if it would work with the OEM Nav system. I am very interested in this mod

polaris1000

Yes you can buy them at Walmart for $37.33 for a set.

polaris1000

I went and put in Denso Iridium IK20 in my Vibe GT. I can say that I did not noticed any change in mileage, I'm not someone who really watches my mpg, but I did notice that the car seemed to be alittle more torguey than with the stock plugs. I would recommend this to any GT owner. I got them at Auto...

How often do you guys and girls miss a shift when driving your Vibe. I still have a problem after a year and half with missing 2 gear when pushing the Vibe hard. I have found the 2 gears I have a problem with are 2nd and 5th. Anyone else still miss a gear once and awhile Can wait till the short shif...

Very Sharp!!!!!!! Daddy Like!!!!!!!!!

polaris1000

We both actually did it the same. I have one that is connected to the other side of the car. What I did was run one wire to the engine block and then from there to the passenger side frame.This is the only daisy connected wire I did,because none of the wires were long enough to reach from passenger ...

polaris1000

I also noticed a difference. I know it sounds strange,but when my car is cold in the morning it is easier to shift from 1st to 2nd without bogging. Before the wires in the morning shifting was never very smooth till the car warmed up.I think all GT owner know what I am talking about. And idle is alo...

polaris1000

Thanks for the pics. Just wanted to make sure I did them right

polaris1000

The only time I have had a problem is with a car full of people and then it feels like it might be slipping alittle. Just very hard to shift smooth with a car full. To me I do not feel this is the right clutch for this type of vechile.Weighs 200+ pounds more than the celica and are made to move thin...

I have the E.S. Motor Mounts and Brass Bushing and have to say it is a must for any GT owner. The mounts took about an hour and a half and the bushings took 15 minutes. The best $60.00 I have spent so far!!!!!! The bushing take alot of the notchiness away and the motor mount really make it easy to d...

polaris1000

It was a toss up for me between Abyss and Lava. I went with the Lava,because I've had to many black vechiles and wanted something different!!!!!!!!!

polaris1000

Smokin' Rubber Hey not to be a pain in your mouth . Just kidding. Do you have any pics of your ground wires, so I can see if I did them correct. Thanks.

polaris1000

Is this something that would useful for anything that is not FI, like a Vibe GT or Matrix XRS. I would think it could help with most performace based automobiles by cooling when RPM start getting high!!!!!

polaris1000

Thanks guys. I was thinking it was normal, but just thought I would ask and give myself piece of mind!!!!!!!!!!

polaris1000

Well I gave in and bought a set of supposed TRD Ground Wire off Ebay for $44.00. After receiving them I can tell they are not TRD, but are made very nice and of high quality material, so I am happy. Now my question is this set has the disc that the ground wires are suppose to go to.Has anyone ran th...

polaris1000

I am just wondering if anyone with a GT has noticed their car backfire alittle when downshifting or braking .The only time I notice it is in 2 and 3 gear when doing some sort of decelerating. My mods are CAI,exhaust, and Denso Iridium sparks IK20. I only noticed it after installing my exhaust. I'm n...

I thought over on Matrixowners I saw someone saying that all you really need is to lower your car, get a STB and a rear sway bar to stiffen up the suspenion and that the front sway bar was not that useful. Is this true or is a front sway bar really that helpful.

polaris1000

Picked it up in April 2003 with just under 500 miles and I am at 12,500 right now.

polaris1000

I would not change anything except going with a monotone instead of a two-tone.

I am looking to get a Unichip for my 2003 Vibe GT. I just would like to know if there are any speed shops in Southeastern Wisconsin that would be able to tune it. I still have not found to much info if it is really needed to be tuned by a shop or if the map A/B are just fine. I do remember seeing so...

polaris1000

It was a NO brainer for me with the GT.

polaris1000

I had a Silverstar go out after about 5 months. I wrote a email to the company and they said all I had to do was send them a copy of my email and tell them what kind of vechile I had and if it had DRL'S and about how much I drove a week. And then they would look into sending a new one. I just never ...

polaris1000

Sounds good!!!!!! It is so easy to do and make the car really look sharp!!!! Lets see some pics!!!!!!!

polaris1000

Very nice looking!!! Did you do it yourself or did you take it to a body shop. And did you take the mirrors off or did you just mask it off.

polaris1000

Same reason I did not get the TRD short shifter either. I would say that is a (removed) poor design. Looks like someone trying to push a product out the door before doing some good research on it.

polaris1000

6 Speed......manual is the only way to drive a Vibe and especially a GT !!!!!!!!!!!!

I went with the Injen CAI and am very happy with it. No problems at all with CEL.

I installed a set about 2 months ago and it is the best thing I have put on my Vibe GT so far. It really takes that rubbery feel out of the shifter. These are a must for any GT or XRS owner. It makes it alot easier to shift from 1st to 2nd without the quessing. This is what GM and Toyota should of g...

polaris1000

Only one time since owning my Vibe GT have I been in LIFT and not taken it to 8300RPM. It is safe and VERY fun. This engine is made to rev high!!!!!!!!!!!

polaris1000

Wow!!!!!!! That is not cool at all. I just sent my buddy who swears by this stuff that article. I can't wait to see what he has to says I'm so glad I read that article before adding it to my oil. THANKS

polaris1000

I have a buddy who swears by Lucus Oil Stabilizer and keeps telling me to put in my Vibe GT. I went to Autozone and talked to them about it and they said to that alot of guys use it in their cars. From what I have been told is that it bonds to the engine parts so there are no dry start ups and when ...

I painted both the fronts and the rears calipers.On the GT's its 4 disc brakes all around. I had a black 1997 Z24 Cavailier that had drums in the rear and it looked great with the drums painted red too. With your Vibe being black I think the red calipers make it look MEAN .

I got my from XexonMods.com. The guys name is Rich and he is a really nice guy that really seems to take pride in his work and will stand by his product. You can order them in many diffrent colors and I believe you can have them made to say what ever you want. I thought about having my say Vibe GT a...
