You guys called it. Engine Splash guards are missing. (Fender liners are there... just sorts dangling.) Thank you. Yeah, it looks like it's missing all of the splash guards under the vehicle. It looks like you're missing the entire fender liner. I think the hole in the photo should be occupied by a ...

I've searched the internets (and 2 local parts stores) high and low, and I cannot for the life of me figure out a. if something's missing, or b. what it would be called. I'm pretty sure that my (fender liner?) needs to be supported by some sort of "stay"/bracket/something... but there's no...

Thank you all for chiming in. I'm definitely gaining confidence with weight in this vehicle. The Vibe seats 5. Let's take an average weight of 200lbs x 5= 1000 lbs - your own weight.

Dead-weight limit/recomendation. (Wasn't sure where to post this/look for related topics...) I'll be hauling tools and such for work. I'm used to driving SUV's which don't seem to mind the extra dead-weight, but is there a recommended dead-weight limit? '06, Base, 1.8L, FWD. I'm more concerned about...

Well, not quite. I did get one pretty cheap at a local auction though. I recently acquired a 2006 Vibe, Base model (5-speed). 150k miles, super clean (for what it is), only thing wrong was with the clutch. I was unable to test drive before auction day, but I could start it up and "drive forward...
