Well, if that's the case, I'm a little miffed. I was planning to get the Sport Package in Salsa. If I have to order the parts primered and pay to have it painted, its just not worth the money.Anyone else notice that when you goto http://www.pontiac.com and look at the Vibe accessories you see the sp...

It depends on where you live and what kind of license plate you get. I believe that some places still only do 7 letter plates. It's all a matter of location.Landon

Sounds good. I live right down the street from IKEA. Once I finally get my Vibe we'll all have to get together somewhere. There's a local car show/gathering on Saturday's down here. We could impress the crowds with our Vibes. Landon

All this is well and good, but why don't you hear it as much in an auto-tranny. There is a distinct difference in the sound between an auto and manual.Do they have different gearings? Different construction?

damnit. i still can't figure out what the bug question is. transport insects, word play, i don't see a way to make it into a witty saying.help! just so i can move on. someone?

Good Lord! King of Long Posts is right. This is the first one I've had the privilege of reading. Very informative, thanks for the insight. Makes me want to go out and wash/wax my car every weekend to make it all shiny and new.

2 weeks huh? I was told ordering would start next week. Maybe my dealership is just slacking behind.Whether I'm the first or not, it'd be nice to just know I'm getting my ride soon.

Don't know if this is old news to any of you, but I just found out on Saturday that you can no longer order an '03 Vibe. Some time next week my dealership is supposed to get paperwork for the '04 Vibe and I can finally get my order placed.I can't believe I finally decide to go out and get my Vibe an...

Haha... five-oohhhh, five-oohhhhh

That's a tough call. I would want 18s, but I like the 17s design better. If you could get the Enkei 5+ in 18, then I would say you got it made.

Do we have a list of the different brands of lower springs/coilovers being made for the Vibe/Matrix?I think it would be a good resource to have, so new people would quickly find the different choices without searching through the entire forum for different discussion threads.This could also be exten...

Still nothing definite. I called Al yesterday and he told me it takes a while to get the "expected delivery". He said some time next week they should know. I'll go back to buggin them around that time.

Cool. I don't make it all the way out to Leesburg much, unless I'm going to the "Old Town" with the cool little shops or the big, crazy outdoor mall. I'm down in the Dale City area, near Potomac Mills.Where do you work? Ever come in closer to DC?

Ah ha. I didn't follow the link to matrixvibe.net to look at the matrix. I guess it would have been a little clearer had I done that.Thanks guys.

I don't think I would call it thicker or thinner, I'd just say I wanted rims that had more "wheel-type-stuff". Seriously, you're just looking for a rim with bigger spokes/structures coming out from the hub and going to the lip. Something kind of similar to the factory rims, which don't hav...

There seems to be a difference in the rear fascias of rasermon's blue vibe and robdog's black one. Did anyone else notice that? Any insight about the difference between the two? Does the blue one have the sport package (extended fascias?)Thanks!

Just ordered myself a 2003 Salsa Vibe and have been a member of genvibe since the early days when the Vibe first came out.For those of you in the VA area, where are you all located? I've seen a number of Vibes in the Northern VA area and wonder if any of you are on here.Landon

i just confirmed all the options i wanted on my new vibe. going to be getting a salsa vibe gt with just about all the options you can get. i also ordered it with the sport package, so i'm going to be one of the first ones in an ~500 mile radius to have the sport package. the dealership called around...

of course now we want to see what you do with it. i'm bored right now and thinking about photoshopping that into a nice background. if you do the same, let us see it.

quote:has anyone put a new muffler on their vibe/matrix yet? besides the shiny overpriced TRD coffee can? i'm looking into the 50 or 60 series flowmaster. i can get it all for $80 with install! i'll probably have piece of 3" stainless fitted to the end for my tip. anyone heard any exhausts or b...
