I want to get some seat covers for my 04 Vibe but I need to know if the Matrix has the same seats as the Vibe?Does anybody know this for sure??? Thanks,Alex

fuente2000

Yeah you could use dyna mat but that would keep any metal from rattling. To realy get your sub woofers to work and thump out some bass they should be sealed or even ported.Sub woofers that have low efficiency demands a very powerful amplifier and a driver that can handle a lot of power and move a lo...

fuente2000

Another question is what is the back of the sub woofer panel made of? Is it just an open plastic panel and the sub woofer gets attched to it or is it sealed for the sub woofer? Cause if it's just a panel with not enclosure behind it then you might as well just mount a couple of slimline 6" sub ...

fuente2000

This is all great BUT does anybody know if you order the panel can you put in a different subwoofer and wire it up to an amp? Nobody seems to be addressing that question - can you put in a Vibe that's other than a 2005 and install another make of 8" subwoofer?I'd like to order the panel part bu...

The Magnetic Bra WILL DAMAGE PAINT! The person selling them states that the magnetic bra wil not damage the paint - WRONG!!!Moisture will get trapped under the bra and will permanently damage the paint - FYIThe GM Bra or a Colgan Car Bra is definately the way to go!

I bought a magnetic car bar from some Bozo at http://www.magneticcarbra.com and I have to tell you this is the biggest piece of sh-t I've ever bought! First off this is nothing more than a piece of cheap magnetic strip, like they make magnetic signs from. He has the audacity to charge $50 for this s...

The suoercharger comes on the Vibe GT with a six speed manual transmission. Has there been a determination or experience that the automatic tranny cannot properly support the power of the S/C?I'm just wondering why they would not offer the S/C with the auto tranny and only with the 6 speed. I'd like...

Just thought I'd show those of you with automatic shifters the leather wrapped shifter cover I just installed. I ordered it charcoal to match the Wheelskin I have. I think it looks pretty damn great and feels awesome. I think you can find them on Ebay if you search either for Vibe or Matrix. It cost...

Well I got my top spoiler picked up today from the bodyshop and with "Devlop's" outstanding instructions, I took the task upon myself (with a little help from my dad) and I have to say that it turned out GREAT! It's nice to know that even me at 42 years young, my dad and I can have a great...

That's what I concluded!I guess I got an extra pair of 1157A ST.If anybody is interested. They cost me $16.50 plus $3.85 for USPS Priority shipping.Just e-mail me if you want em. (fuente01@bellsouth.net)Alex

This may sound like a really stupid question but I'm doing the Silverstart upgrade to my Vibe. I ordered Silverstars for the headlights, the fog lights, the front turn signals and the parking lights.Well I installed all the bulbs except the parking lights and now I'm thinking that maybe the front tu...

OUTSTANDING instructions! Thank you Devlop!

Yea I hear what everyone is saying... if you look at the accessories booklet on the Vibe, the rear bumper pad is not going over the edge. More like a flat strip of plastic going across the center of bumper and that's what I thought too, but when I got the Matrix bumper pad it had a lip to go over th...

I like the stiched and leather wrapped OEM wheel too but by adding the wheelskin, it adds a little more thickness and cushion to the OEM wheel and much more comfortable to drive.Just my .02

Don't know if anyone has done this but I wanted to get the Vibe bumper step protector pad but my Ponriac dealership wanted $65.00! Which is insane for a piece of plastic (thanks General Motors)!I checked around and I was able to buy a Toyota Matrix Bumper Step Protector Pad for $30. If intersted you...

I bought my Wheelskin from Wheelskin directly (www.wheelskin.com), it cost me $44.95 plus shipping... if I'm not mistaken.See the attached pics. Good luck!Alex

Anybody have (detailed) instructions or experience on installing the top spoiler? To those that have done it themselves, I like to ask; "Was it difficult? Is it so difficult that should I have the bodyshop install it? Just trying to save a few bucks if you know what I mean.Thanx

fuente2000

OK I just installed the perforated eurotone on my Vibe yesterday and I must say it feels great. It makes the steering wheel a bit thicker and easier to handle and the perforated new design matches well with the inside of the Vibe steering wheel that's also perforated.I recommend you get one and foll...

I just ordered the Magnoflow Catback from Performance Peddler and then I realized that there's a seperate part number for the base and for the GT.I'm eventually going to get the SC fo the Vibe. Am I going to have a problem running the base Catback exhaust with SC?Thanks,Alex

Found a killer short antenna. It came in aluminum finish but I had it painted the same as the Vibe and it looks... SWEET!!I also painted the front wiper arms and rear wiper arm to match the vehicle.Check out the pics.

I think you did an outstanding job! Looks excellent! Remember you are you're own worse critic. Nobodies going to point out any of the defects you think are there. If you like, then that's all that matters.By the way the Vibe looks sweet!

I've been looking around for a different shifter fo my automatic tranny Vibe. The only I've been able to find with overdrive is the Razo Automatic Trans Super Gun Grip Auto Knob. Has anybody tried to put this on their Vibe? It comes in titanium and chrome... very cool!http://www.racerwheel.com/tcr-p...

I've had one on all my vehicle and I loved them. Just ordered one for my 2004 Vibe. Let you know how it turns out.Alex

OK - OK - OK... you all have sold me! Right now I'm leaning towards the investment of the SC and then the CAI but the $3.5K hurts.Either way I'll go with a CAI whether it's before the SC or after doesn't matter.As soon as this happens I'll post pics.Thanks for all the good advice!Alex

I just got my Vibe about 3 weeks ago and it's begun it's transformation. As much as I would like to get a SC for it my budget just won't allow it. So I'm opting for a CAI. Either Ingen or K&N, not sure which yet. I've searched the forum for CAI and sound but can't seem to get the answer I'm look...

I figured it out. The top nut is not spot welded. Finally got off and the new Progres bar on.Just wish I had waited a little while until the damn muffler cooled down... ouch!Alex

I could really use everyones help. I just got my Progress anti-sway bar and was all excited to get installed but I cannot for the life of me remove the bolts holding the old bar.I'm assuming the top nut is spot welded and won't turn and only the bottom bolt gets undone. I know it's a 20mm socket and...

Does anybody know if the JL Audio component tweeters will fit where the stock tweeters are in the window corners? Don't want to start taking things apart only to find out they don't fit... if you know what I mean.Thanks

Looking to buy a top spiler for my 04 Vibe. Not crazy about the mid spoiler, just looking for the top. Preferrable in charcoal (Shadow), primed or really any color... I'll get it painted.Let me know if anybody has one they want to get rid of or source other than a Pintiac dealer. Thanx

fuente2000

Does anybody out there have A-Pillar mounted gauges? If you do where did you find them and where you able to get the pillar to match the interior color?

Does any body have source or vendor for a shorter black antenna for the Vibe?ThanxAlex

What is "UNICHIP???" I've tried to find out what this is but I can't seem to get an answer. Can someone help me out on this?Also does a CAI System really add any additional HP or torque to the std Vibe?Thanks,Alex

I need everyone's advice on where would I could find the best price for the Vibe supercharger?
