Nice Vibe, especially with only 60K, enjoy the ride

wagonis

Front end light damage and mileage aside, its clean and in decent shape otherwise, plus its got the moonroof and rear sub so its not a bad car at all.

Ask for $3K and let them work you down, but no reason why you can't get at least $2K out of it...easily.

wagonis

LOL yeah, looks like a refresh is in order. This seller is really good, check him out. Also found another seller that makes custom prints:

Shifter boot was getting rough so updated it

Looks real good. You got the best color thread too ;) Hopefully that red thread doesn't fade from the sun's UV rays after a few years. Stick around here for awhile and let us know how it looks then! Anytime you do true custom work to your ride, it will definitely set you back several hours BUT to u...

Steering wheel was crumbling on the top of the rim. I found a few online but seems like anything decent was $150 or above, so I bought one of those re-wrap kits on eBay...not the worse looking thing but took a good 3 hours to get it.

Nice work so far. Too bad the head unit didn't fit within the double-DIN opening, but then your screen diagonal would have been smaller. Thanks man, I appreciate that. I actually don't mind the head unit size. I could have went with the DD unit but I like these "floating" screen types tha...

wagonis

As of this past weekend, I installed the new head unit, amp, backup cam and added some sound deadener to the rear sub box. The cam isn't turning on when going in to reverse so I need to go back and look at the wires, pretty sure I know what is wrong. Need to do some cleanup and wire routing and clos...

Forgot I created a thread for my Vibe's progress... So far I've added the power door locks and even got the rear hatch and rear window to work with the keyless remote https://forums.genvibe.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=537086#p537086 Installed a Monkey Wrench Racing short throw shifter with a TRD ball...

And it works!!!

Quick update: While at the junk yard, I also pulled the rear hatch/tailgate power actuator. After testing a bunch of wires and trying to follow the spaghetti maze that is the tailgate harness, I figured out which wires I need to tap in to and how. By this time next week I'll have the keyless remote ...

wagonis

Nice work man, that looks really good. Its nice when you get something like that working. My next step is to install the actuator for the rear door and link that in and also install the window release for the rear hatch. I got all the parts to make it work, now just need to figure it out and also ge...

Whats up my mammals, I bought my 2007 Vibe (base) back in 2019. It was about as base as can be...no power door locks, power windows, cruise control, etc. About a month after I bought the car, I bought all the (OEM) parts for the cruise control and an EASYGUARD cl13-rt0107 power door lock kit. I got ...

wagonis

As the title says, looking for a header for my 2007 base Vibe. Was trying to locate a DC THC-4405 but let me know what you got if anything.

wagonis

I got a set of OEM

wagonis

Hello folks, My 2007 Vibe started slipping bad and I decided I haven't gotten my hands dirty in a while, so I bought the full clutch kit, a new flywheel and a couple of new axles since at just over 120K miles, NONE of these have ever been replaced. For those that are interested in pulling their own ...

wagonis

Welcome to the board, thats a hell of a garage you got there, post some pics.

wagonis

Oh dude that sucks, totally feel your pain man, damaged my shoulder and rotator cuff 2 years ago, shoulder injuries suck. Get well soon.

wagonis

If I didn't buy my own first Vibe in August last year I'd be all over this one

wagonis

If anyone is interested, there is a low mile 2004 Vibe GT for sale. Its not mine but I saw it listed and thought someone might be interested.

wagonis

THAT is perfect work there sir, really amazing.

wagonis

Nice find!

wagonis

Quick note about the interior bits...LKQ salvage yards where you pull your own parts, they are having a 40% off everything on New Years Day and I see several in SoCal.

Here's hoping the new year brings you strong showers and more powerful flushes.

Merry Christmas to you and yours

wagonis

Everyone else seem to have addressed your questions/concerns and I'll concur that the build quality is not known to be bad. Also as you have already read, junkyards are your friend for all the interior bits.

Aside from all that, welcome to the board

Added cruise control to my Vibe today, really easy process and I know several folks have already done it. Installed the 18A009 cruise control switch and NS151 clutch switch. Everything works, cruise tested fine and horn works too

wagonis

Back at you, happy holidays to all.

wagonis

Finally got around to installing my system and got a set of Scion tC wheels on her.

wagonis

Just as an FYI - the black plastic (unpainted) door handles fail regularly from the sun hardening the plastic. If you had one shatter, go ahead and think about just replacing all of them - they're not that expensive. Yup, day after I ordered one handle I broke the front drivers side too, ordered a ...

Looks like a fun project. I did power lock/window upgrades to several cars over the past 40 years and loved the challenge. All of them turned out great and you'd never know they were added ... looked stock! Take lots of photos and share the progress here with us as you go along! I just opened that ...

wagonis

Nice deal man, welcome to the boards fellow new member.

wagonis

Next up, adding some power door locks and a push-button start. I don't mind the manual windows but the manual door locks are getting to be a bit annoying, so going to fix that and since I was browsing Amazon I found this low cost push start so figured why not.

Head unit is in

Thanks again and of course I'll keep this post going, hoping to get lots of things done to her.

wagonis

First up I'm going to add some better audio to her this weekend, already got everything on order and waiting for everything to be delivered.

JVC KD-X240BT head unit
Kenwood KFC 1666S 6 1/2 speakers for front/rear doors

JBL GTX500 mono amp to power the sub

Hello folks, was recommended to start a new thread for my Vibe to track progress and builds, so here it is :) I HAD a 2000 Pathfinder that was my commuter SUV but at around 190,000 miles, the timing belt snapped and I wasn't about to waste my time replacing that belt, we all know a valve or 2 probab...

Start a thread in the GenVibe Garage. It's a great way of keeping track of your progress and letting us have a look as well.

Ah, good idea, I'll start one shortly. Got all my audio parts ordered so I'll actually have some stuff to post.

wagonis

Welcome to GenVibe. Nice purchase. You won't regret getting it. Keep us posted on all mods & repairs! ;) Thank tpollauf and will do :) Glad to see a new member, and I think you'll get a lot of enjoyment out of the car. Thanks Bookworm, enjoying it already :) I think those wheels are off of a Sc...

Might have just found a decent set of wheels at a local LKQ

wagonis

Wheels are pretty limited in 5x100. Most are running 17s. I currently have 17s with 225/45/17 tires on it, and they fill the wheel well nicely when lowered. Short shifters, and other “go fast” parts are available from MWR (www.monkeywrenchracing.com) You can also find lowering springs there. MWR is...

wagonis

Welcome wagonis! Beautiful car you purchased and one you'll enjoy driving for many more years, trouble free. Thank you Transylvania, much appreciated. Going to start looking for some slightly larger wheels, although the 5x100 bolt pattern makes it difficult, also maybe a shorter shifter and lower h...

Good morning all, just wanted to say hello to everyone. Picked up this 2007 Vibe this weekend to replace my Nissan Pathfinder (RIP). Picked it up from the original owner with only 91K miles. Base model, 5SPD, good ol' crank windows but the car was babied and its in prefect shape. Actually a pretty f...
