Re: Vibe Newbie - need advice.

Hey guys, just checking in! I did a few things to my vibe since purchase - worked on some nasty paint chips on the hood and front fender. I used Dr. Colorchip and I think I got some decent results from it. Not perfect - but most people will never notice that there was chipping - so it served it's pu...

Re: Paint Chip Repair

Here is a "quick a dirty" review of the Dr. Colorchip kit. Overall I'm happy with the purchase. The system is fairly straightforward to use and simple to use. The color seems to match very well. It's a simple idea and I experienced fairly good results. It probably depends on the color, but...

Re: Paint Chip Repair

Did you end up purchasing the Dr.Colorchip kit?

Vibe Newbie - need advice.

Hey Guys, Thanks for letting me join the community. I'm looking at getting a vibe but need advice. Tomorrow I'm planning on checking out a 09 Vibe GT. It has 144K on it. Looks like a solid car (but will find out more tomorrow). Is there anything I should be on the lookout for? Any "newbie advic...
