Coz you outbid me on my damn springs! All for kicks ang laughs man. I see, granma has a Vibe that you'd be able to keeps. I thought you were trying to convince your mom to buy you a new Vibe. Sorry to hear about your granma. though... I'm sure she'll be smiling down when she sees you driving her car...

danielal

Aaron, are you talking about my TEIN springs! I'm gonna convince your mom not to buy you one since you have been a bad boy! Just kidding man. Glad you got yours. So, theyre legit right? I got mine today also.

danielal

Thanks for the advice guys but I don't have the time and effort to do it myself. I scheduled an appointment with a performance shop here on Monday and I'm excited!!!! Woooohooooo!

danielal

Nooooooo! I dont want to risk of doing these myself. I have basic knowledge of oil change and fuel filter replacement but dont want to mess around with suspensions. I know its easy but no I dont trust myself! Lol!I wanted to do it today and maybe take it to a regular auto mechanic stores like Midas ...

danielal

Hey I got the springs this afternoon! Do you guys know of any autoshop that will install these Teins? Does Midas or Meineke do this? We have an Import store here that will do it for $100 but they are fully book until Monday and I want to do it today!

danielal

Sorry folks! Pics look like crap coz they were taken from my cell phone.Just bought some S tech springs from http://www.neverenoughauto.com and just waiting to deliver. Soon I'll take a pic of my car lowered!

danielal

Well thanks for all your inputs about bidding stuff on ebay but I finally bought my springs from http://www.neverenoughauto.com just like what jesse had pointed out. I went online and got it.Just waiting for it to come to me and have it installed. Can't wait!!!

danielal

Nah.. I'm not mad just jealous. I've been itching to drop my car!Looks like its a good deal for brand new springs. Hmmmmmm.... I'll give them a call and ask for shipment. God, if I can get one here in OR for that price I'd buy it in a heart beat but alot of import stores here has to order them as we...

danielal

danielal

danielal

danielal

Link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWDVWI'm going to bid on it! Im dying to have a set asap!!! I'm getting this one for sure!!!

danielal

Yeah that was my mistake. Didn't realize how thick these spacers are. I was just curious coz I wanted my rims to be even with the fenders not sticking out.

danielal

Saw it on Ebay and I was wondering if it will fit Vibes. It does say it will fit Pontiac cars and etc...Link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...wItem

danielal

I know!!! I'm thinking about dropping it an inch. It's my next project believe me...

danielal

Got these wheels a week ago and I finally put them on. They are 18 inch ACW wheels.

danielal

I had my check engine light came on and said something about Catalytic converter being bad. I have a 2005 sport that has 32,000 miles on it. I took it to the dealership here and had it diagnosed. They said mine need to be replaced and its free since its till under warranty. They replaced it and even...

danielal

I wouldn't mind if the couch sticks out a little bit since I have something to hold it to prevent it from falling.

danielal

Im in a bit of a dilema here. I am picking up a couch and loveseat that my friend is giving away. I was wondering if one of these items would fit the back of our VIBE...The couch and loveseat are regular size.Thanks...

danielal

Got it!!!I found a solution to the problem. I use one of the PVC hoses. The size I use was the same size as the wedge bulb. I gently push the hose towards the bulb so the bulb would go in the PVC hose. One there's enough suction, pull it gently and waaalaaah!This is simple method and better yet, you...

danielal

I bought some PIAA's and I wanted to change the stock Map light bulbs. I opened up the cover and it's a tight space!I can barely get a grip on those little tiny bulbs!How did you guys change yours? Very Carefully???

danielal

got it done today. I thought ours take H3 but I came to find out it was 9006. Thats was my bad. It was pretty easy thing to do...

danielal

I'ved done alot of searching and could not find a thread about changing foglight bulbs.can someone please tell me on how to replaced the bulbs and it will be great if you can provide any pictures.Thanks...

danielal

im not sure if its too late but sign me up too. I a not fond of alteeza lights but if it looks good in our Vibe then I'm all for it...

danielal

Oh I guess I forgot to put the $ amount. It's $15 each. It's the store closing sale! I could not believe it either!

danielal

Does anyone have this H4 bulbs on their car? I want to know how it looks and how well it performs. Does it produce a yellowish amber color or is it more like whiter color?There's a store here in Portland that is closing and they are selling these bulbs $each.

danielal

I got my Liscense plate a couple of days ago! MODERATORS, PLEASE DELETE THIS POST!!!

I just got done talking to the Dealership and said that they have ust receive a big box full of liscense plate. They will sort it out after lunch and hoping mine shows up...

TRDVibe, You used to lived in Seattle??? I purchased my car in Vancouver Wa.

danielal

I hated the Dealership where I bought my Vibe from. They only gave me a 21 day permit. I purchased mine August 17th. The day after I bought my car, I took it to DEQ (Smog Testing) and had my Smog testing & Vin # inspection done. I sent the results back to the Dealership and til this day, they sa...

danielal

DjPositive, have you done any modifications on your car so far? I like your car color. That was my first preference when I was looking at Vibe's but I somehow fell inlove with the frosty white.Justin, I think the blacked out effect on your head lights is better than crome. I wish they would have kep...

danielal

Holly Crap!!! Justin, I'm drooling over your car. That's what my car will look like in a couple of weeks. This is one of the nicest, yet cleanest Vibe I'ved seen! I see you blackened out your head lights. Was that done profesionally or you did it yourself? I think tinting my car is my second priorit...

danielal

MY EVIL TWIN!!!!

danielal

Sweeeeeet!!! I'm really diggin' the Miglia's. I just wanted a simple look since my Vibe is more of a family car. I'm debating on 18's & 19's. I would like to get 18's but I have to lower it and get a cupkit or get 19's and leave the suspension the way it is. Which one do you guys like better? Mi...

danielal

I took a picture of my car in an angle so I'm not sure on how hard it is to photoshop the rims that I wanted.Anyway, I was wondering if anyone can help me photoshop a couple of rims that I like. I really like the Mille Miglia. Mille Miglia:Enkei: My Car:Thanks guys...

danielal

Hi Tom! Welcome to the site as well. Do you still have a VW? I will miss mine unfortunately, I had major problems with my MK4. I like my Vibe a lot! I'm impress with the smooth riding and it's very roomy inside. Too bad mine isn't a GT although I get about 35 miles per gallon....

danielal

Sorry for the confusion, wasn't sure what GT is but yeah mine has Automatic transmission...Anyway, I took some pictures today...MY old VW Jetta that I traded for the Vibe:

danielal

Here's my VIBE. This was taken by the Dealership:

danielal

I was very surprised with mine! On my first fill up, it was 36 miles per gallon with the AC on most of the time but offcourse, my work is 8 minutes away from my apartment.Gas here in Oregon is $2.83/gallon and on my second fill up, I avoid using AC since its starting to get cold here (Fall coming).

danielal

I filled her up today it's $2.90 per gallon here for regular. I heard it will be $3.00/gallon when Labor day comes. Just last year alone, we were worried about gas going up to $1.99/gallon.Look at us now....

danielal

Oh haha! Yeah, I'll post some pics soon. I really like the Vibe. One thing I was very impressed was the handling. I spent som much money on my Jetta and I traded it because I wanted a family car since I have a 5 year old and that's the reason why I got the Vibe. I'm probably not going to do much exc...

Quote, originally posted by joatmon »well, f nothing else, you should be able to fit them in the Vibe no problem Im a little confused? How would it fit if our lug pattern is 5X100 and the guy has a 5 bolt on 4 3/4" circle?Help me out on this...Thanks,Danielal

danielal

I had 18's on my Jetta with same bolt patten. (5X100) Shucks!!! I should have kept it if I knew Vibe had the same bolt pattern! Anyway, thanks for the reply. It's about half an hour drive to pick up these rims. I wonder if I should pick it still and just sell it for really really cheap! The guy is g...

Hey guys. I'm new to this forum but at the sametime familiar with the site because I was a member of http://www.vwvortex.com where I used to owned a 2000 Jetta.Anyway, I traded it and got a 2005 Vibe GT.
