Thanks for the comments. My plans for the Vibe are prolly just some alloy wheels.Yes that is an 2003 Elanta GT 5spd, leather. Its a fun car. I must say the 2.0L in my Elantra is alot smoother then the Vibes motor.

The Tucson are great vechicles, poven powertrain, quality is almost on par with the Japanese and best warranty in the business. Fuel economy was the bigest factory for me.Canada get half of the warranty you Yankees get.

Do you think the maplights on the rearview mirror can be purchased at Parts Department at the Pontiac Dealership? Or should I go to Toyota?

All I know was that my next car HAS to have AWD or 4WD.I could have gotten a Tucson, but the fuel economy isnt the greatest because its a V6. All I want is 4 cyl. Hyundai doesn't sell a 4 cyl AWD automatic, and that what I wanted. The Vibe/Matrix has it, so I got it.I can't wait for the snow!

Map Lights

My 2005 Vibe AWD has no overhead maplights. Does Pontiac or Toyota have mapslights that were part of an option package? I would like to add some to mine.If anyone can take a pic and post it, it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I was a tech for Hyundai several years back, and we installed remote starters, I have found the AstroStart Units to be superior in Quality compared to the Vipers.There are too much Hype in Viper products. their good ones are their 2 ways. but those can get pretty expensive.

Drive By Wire uses an electrical motor to control throttle opening. There is no physical cable that is hooked up to the throttle body. This is all computer controlled.

Is there any instructions on how to take out the headlamp assembly?I installed those "eurolite" made by Toucan Industries, and it blew up, and I need to remove the residue it left behind.I did a search and nothing came up.
