Oh yea, they are lower than the stock seat height, because I hated sitting that high. I put both of the seats at their lowest mounting points. They arent outrageously low, but more of a comfortable low, if you will.

kerrykerrykerry

Yea, i know what you mean with the lack of accents. If I were to add things to the interior, it would be red floor mats and a dark grey shift boot with red stitching, that's all.As for installing these seats, it was a piece of cake. Four bolts and a disconnected wire, to get them in the car. To get ...

kerrykerrykerry

thanks for the good comments everyone.Yea, the back seats are "blah," BUT whenever i tint my windows, im gonna keep it folded flat all the time. Basically, the back will become a bed on wheels If you are looking to get racing seats in your vibe, i recommend either finding someone that can ...

kerrykerrykerry

After a very long wait, it is done.Enjoy.Razo Mirror that never got any glory, but yea, FYi, it's awesome. Just cleaned the car so I thought i would toss this one here too. Just need to tint the windows and i am done with the vibe. period. (maybe turbo later)

kerrykerrykerry

Well, the wires that connect under the seat are taped down, so the "no seatbelt indicators" remain on, which im assuming will still deploy the airbags if they needed to be put into action. The driver side light i can live with, but the passenger light will most likely be disconnected. I'll...

kerrykerrykerry

you can get the brackets for our car from Brad at neverenoughauto.com at a really good price. depending on what bracket parts you order it could range from $250-400 . These seats were an expensive mod, let's just say, with the money spent on these ole things, i couldve acquired a new set of tein bas...

kerrykerrykerry

Welp, here they are. Originally i wanted to just leave the teaser up until i received the passenger bracket for the other seat, BUT i just couldnt help myself. ALSO, my car is clean, for the first time in the past few months. it feels good to have a clean car looks empty And the lonely companion.......

kerrykerrykerry

hahaa that would be me ^ (check out my new post )

kerrykerrykerry

yea, mrizzle you aint kidding about the high dollars spent, and nothing to show for it...................(except for 1 seat and a bunch of bracket stuff sitting in the bonus room) thanks again, i love this bike more and more each day. Just went for a night drive under a full moon........felt great

kerrykerrykerry

to merzbow~Yea, my mom wont be that pissed. She will just be very worried like my pops was when i told him, maybe "alittle" more worried . I guess its somewhat similar to the feeling they had when i first started driving and stuff, you know what i mean? If your mom really loves you, she wo...

kerrykerrykerry

estimated speeds were around 55MPH (posted speed limit). Head-on, drunk driver merged into my mom on a two lane road.And NO, my mom does not know about my bike yet. She doesnt need that kind of stress in her current condition. She will not know about it, until she is 100,000,000 times better. Then s...

kerrykerrykerry

p.s. that pile of metal used to be a G35. Infiniti/Nissan is the greatest car maker in the world now.

kerrykerrykerry

Yea, i love my bike to the MAX. My girlfriend just ordered me a HID kit for my bike today.........i love her. (10000K McColloch Kit) i dont know if i told you genvibers, but my mom was recently in a car accident, and i just now uploaded the pics....She is making an Awesome recovery from one fracture...

kerrykerrykerry

Build up your credit and go out and buy one. I skipped school on friday to go purchase mine. Ducati's are MIGHTY expensive.... My new baby will be paid off in two years, though . Like i stated before, if you want a fast vehicle, look no further than sport bikes (just dont be stupid with them ). -the...

kerrykerrykerry

hey jwalcik, thanks for the book recommendation. I think i will actually purchase it. From reading some of the reviews of the book, it seems like its worth the 20-ish dollars... and well, you recommended it, too. You seem like a trustworthy guy....

kerrykerrykerry

jwalcik, what are talking about? It's always around 150 degree fahreinheit in north carolina, global warming . yea, thats the motors temp, it likes to operate from 145-221 degrees, or something like that.I was driving it around a lot yesterday on the backroads around my house, and WOW. This thing is...

kerrykerrykerry

...and YES, my sparco seats are still not installed due to sparco not being as great we all thought, but yea. I just got my NEW BABY today!!!!! tell me what you think (look who's lurking in the background )Now i can finally just "cruise" in the vibe.

kerrykerrykerry

how sturdy are those crossbars? Are they in there pretty tight, meaning that you cannot jiggle them with your hands? How much did you pay for all of this? I think i may just want the crossbars if they are actually in there TIGHT, and for the right price of course

kerrykerrykerry

bluecrush was correct, i=intelligence

kerrykerrykerry

Go with the DC sports one. Cheaper than TRD and looks better.

kerrykerrykerry

alrite, well, sparco says i have to wait a week for them to get me my brackets . Its gonna be a LONG week....

kerrykerrykerry

total so far:$640 seats$32 full tank of gas$300 for sparco brackets/slidersequals$972 POTENTIAL ADDITIONS:$200 for two sparco 4-point harnesses$? for other mounting partand maybe....$260 sparco steering wheel$170 steering wheel quick release UPDATE 9/10Good ole PortsmouthXRS from MO.com has saved me...

kerrykerrykerry

*crap. the communities turning on me Yes, sorry for the delay, BUT thanks to the vibe not being a very popular tuner/sports car, it is somewhat of a challenge to get this all to work flawlessly (somewhat of a perfectionist) First delay:Thanks to the good ole stock seats, custom fabbed mounts/bracket...

kerrykerrykerry

BLEH. The roof racks make the car look tall and not sporty whatsoever. I knew i was never gonna use them, and i hated the way they looked, so i got the RKSport caps and never looked back.

kerrykerrykerry

Volkswagen Gti style, eh. My mind is telling me that what you are doing should look good, so prove me right.

kerrykerrykerry

the anticipation of having these seats in my car is KILLING me. Ive been talking with a plethora of my car friends to see what my options are, and some are saying custom fab them, and others (friends that own motorsport shops) are saying to purchase the parts i need from them. imagine that. Currentl...

kerrykerrykerry

some matrices have them, so it is possible. My friend that i got them from told me that it should be Very easy for a fabricator to make custom brackets for our cars, because they have a high position, allowing for more options when fabbing the stuff up, or something like that (i dont know, i wasnt r...

kerrykerrykerry

Get some, there's nothing worse than taking a hard turn and having to hold yourself up, AND there is nothing BETTER than seeing that beautiful SPARCO emblem through your windshield These are the Sparco Speeds, just fyi. Got them for an unbeleivable price, which i will not post because you will not b...

kerrykerrykerry

YES!! NEW SEATS!!and its dubious partner....Anyone know where to get seat brackets that will mate with these...?Feels like you're sitting in a rollercoaster seat

kerrykerrykerry

...is it not a fun place to own a vibe apparently. Where is everyone? California?

kerrykerrykerry

I thought this was a new thread regarding a GT-R-esque bodykit coming out, at first glance *EXCITING*. THEN, i read it and quickly became saddened at the realization that this thread is old as balls. p.s.new toys are gonna be added tomorrow.....im giddy like a little school girl at the very thought ...

kerrykerrykerry

dont tint them, that looks bad. Go with the real deal and get Yellow HIDs http://www.xenondepot.com/cate...id=20those are the way to go my friend, well worth the money.

kerrykerrykerry

remove the roof rails and paint the headlights and you will have a good vibe

kerrykerrykerry

Have you noticed any noticable power changes?? Im considering purchasing either these or hotchkis sway bars next, i need something fun install.

kerrykerrykerry

kerrykerrykerry

yea, the instructions were decent, the pictures are a little dark, but very straight forward and easy. I just was not sure if I needed to put my brass spacers back in place , so i didnt

kerrykerrykerry

No problems whatsoever. Just take your time installing it if it is your first time disassembling the shifter.

kerrykerrykerry

Yea, i did. It took almost exactly an hour for me to get it installed, but i've been itching to install something new on my car for the past few months. Next, im gonna order some hotchkis sways.....that will be a fun install........

kerrykerrykerry

basically, any Toyota spec knob will fit. Search for toyota knobs and choose your favorite.

kerrykerrykerry

Just got this baby today for the meager price of 212$, thanks to TWM's student discount. This shortshifter is MUCHO better than the TRD one, Which I just so happen to have for sale (make an offer if you would like it, has everything). Nice solid short shifts.PERIOD. Bolted it Straight to the steel o...

kerrykerrykerry

White vibes like little wheel gaps.....

kerrykerrykerry

Emerica took the words right out of my mouth . Since you have sparco belts, the only choice you have now is to go ahead and buy some Beautiful Torinos, Monzas, or Milanos

kerrykerrykerry

Just make sure to get a full metallic/hybrid tint, so it wont fade in the coming years. I havent heard problems with any tint peeling. Ask to see some of the shops "work," if they tell you they dont have any to show, then tell them you can wait till you see a peice of their work.p.s. did y...

kerrykerrykerry

Super easy install, just make sure to take your time, that double sided tape is REAL sticky and you dont want to crack the clear on the carbon fiber by yanking on it. Has not budged since being installed (about 5-6 months)

kerrykerrykerry

They DO look exceptional on white vibes . From the rear, they look like they fit perfect. The picture just makes it look larger than it really is, and water DOES NOT get into the car, as long as you PLUG THE HOLES, with what you say? It doesnt really matter just as long as you seal them completely.

kerrykerrykerry

The fitment IS less than perfect, but compared to the stock roof rails, these are a God-send. there you go

kerrykerrykerry

right now, im running S-techs with hotchkis sways on the way, possibly TEIN basics if i decide not to buy another car. They will work fine with just s-techs and hotchkis sways, correct? If so, im sold.

kerrykerrykerry

that muffler is BLAH
