WTB: intake tube for 05 Vibe base

Have a brand new air filter in my garage for another project. Would like to pickup an intake on the cheap and put it to work. Can be SRI or CAI, make doesn't matter. Shoot me a PM if you have something.

Can I reuse the old sealant on the assembly or do I need to scrape it out and use some new stuff? I have a roll of windshield sealant silicon but its a pain to scra...

Re: Painting headlight chrome?

Thanks Keith. I finished the Titan retrofit sometime ago and it came out great.

Only thing ill need help on is removing the bumper cover on the vibe in order to access the headlights. I'm trying to find a schematic or something. There was a how to but it has no pictures.

Traced out the housings on it, cut and sanded The edges. Then I removed the old glass, scraped out old silicon, painted the insides s...

Painting headlight chrome?

Has anyone painted the interior chrome and amber turns on the early vibe models? If so any pics or how-to's? I'm getting ready to do this and a projector retrofit on my Nissan Titan. Would rather make my mistakes on the old grocery getter. http://www.titantalk.com/forums/titan-pictures-media-post/10...

Re: Anyone try this ebay CAI? (star_deceiver)

Yea the sticker is a little gay. Some of the ebay things end up not being bad depending on the car.How about I rephrase my whole post.SRI/CAI, which is least likely to throw CEL all the time, since I'm not going to be home to wrench on stuff.

Resonant Engineering. I believe it's reaudio.com but don't quote me on it. On s10forum.com a lot of guys mount them in their single cabs, and there is nothing but good feedback on them. Plus they only cost 75 shipped and they require about .27 sealed enclosure, can't get much smaller than that.

Yeah the 1.8k taxes and fees are what is bothering me. Taxes are 8.1 percent, which is about $1100. So I don't see why it costs $700 to title it. I'm going to have to work on that. The dealer doesn't want to budge at all, but I'll just have to see.

New for 17.3k? I assume before taxes and fees.? That is a good point on the body cladding, never looked at it that way.I'd like to get it under 15k, but that is going to be tough.
