I know what ur saying Bedlam...I was driving an '04 Dakota Quad Cab with the 4.7 V8, and man this is quite a change, BUT it's beating the heck outta that truck by 12-14 miles per gallon and it can still haul quite a bit more than ur "typical" small car.....I'm loving it so far . Still miss...

aggiedude

Well there sure ain't too many of us out there (as far as Stealth goes anyhow)....I just love the color..Almost got Salsa but wasn't quite maroon enough for me; truly happy I got the Stealth. Kinda like having 3 different colored Vibes..

aggiedude

Hey folks, I got a 2006 base and am considering adding on some of the http://www.grafxwerks.com logos and just wondering if any of y'all have used the reflective DARK red yet ????I'm a Texas Aggies fan and LOVE maroon and was just hoping this color might be similar, but then again, if NOT, I need in...

aggiedude

Hey Dog, welcome to the board buddy.....I can't tell you what they'll do for the 07 but they took just a tad more than $3000 off the msrp of my 06 in July...I had to go to 3 dealers to get them to finally agree, but I felt being the car was already right under $20k originally, taking another $3000 o...

aggiedude

Definitely have to keep my eyes open for some then... http://www.tires.com only has powdery/chrome ones on their site right now but I'm sure something will pop up..Thanx a bunch !!

aggiedude

The tint I actually have now is a tad darker than the one in the pics, but I was actually thinking powder coated wheels versus black..But now that you mentioned it, black would look pretty cool..Thanx for the idea !!!And Happy New Year to all of ya !!!!!!

aggiedude

Thanx NaNC3 but I know ur's looks just as sweet.....I'm REALLY torn right now because I've been a truck person for 20 years and am "considering" selling it already...Don't know that I really "want" to but it's just really hard not having a big V8 under the hood with a big bed beh...

aggiedude

That's pretty much what it is.....Depending on how the sun hit's it exactly...Kind of a blue/green/gray really...Fantastic color I think ..

aggiedude

Hope this works, and nice to see ya back Nanc

aggiedude

I'll be danged...Sounds like I'm the only one with a Stealth right now...Kinda neat huh ???!! Have a great great New Year's everyone !!!

aggiedude

They called up some pics for the Salsa ones; how about some pics of the Stealth ones ? I know a "nanc" bought one a few months ago and I got one, but was hoping a few others might have purchased one...

aggiedude

Great man; that might be my next mod.......I've just driven trucks for 20 years (not rigs just regular trucks), so lowering the car would pretty much be the opposite of what I would want...I was actually thinking about selling it and getting back into a truck but this car has really grown on me and ...

aggiedude

Mavric, what size would you recommend buddy ???? I would probably be going with http://www.tires.com as mentioned earlier, and figger if I'm going to spend $450 already why not be sure and get what'll work best.....Definitely don't wanna lower it; if anything keep it at least as high as it is if not...

aggiedude

Thanx a bunch joat.....That's kinda what I needed to hear..I honestly didn't think a wheel, esp the same sized one, would make any difference, but needed to check....Now it's just deciding if I want to keep stock 16's are buy a complete package of 17 or 18's.....Just have to decide on that one mysel...

aggiedude

Hey folks, I got a question and hope it ain't dumb....I've got an 06 base and am considering getting either the MB Tucson or Rage Reaction wheels from http://www.tires.com and wondering if wheels actually make ANY difference in feel or anything on these cars, versus the stock wheels.....Mine are the...

aggiedude

Gorgeous car gpk, just gorgeous.....Congrats all the way !!!!

aggiedude

Welcome to the site and congrats on the Vibe !!

aggiedude

Did my part...Good luck to all of ya...Haven't seen an ugly Vibe yet ((anywhere or anytime))!!! And by the way, Merry Christmas and happy new year to all of ya in case I forget later !!! Marty

aggiedude

Then that's where I'm heading....A K&N air filter and removal of snorkel for now...Oh yea, and MiVibe be making me some yellow fog light covers as I type....Sounds like a good start for me..Thanx sooooooooooooooo much; I just love this site !!!!

aggiedude

Oh yea, one GREAT so called mod I made yesterday was to get the OEM front rubber floor mats for my Vibe in charcoal (GM 012498520) and man are they 200% better than the stock carpet ones...Fantastic deal for $50..Plus I don't get shocked everytime I step out of the dadgum car.....They are definitely...

aggiedude

Hey Mike, was it truly that impressive ? I just got an email from K&N that the 33-2252 will fit my 06 and so was thinking about getting one...Was also thinking about taking off the stock snorkel to see what kind of sound I would get, but definitely interested in knowing more about performance,mp...

aggiedude

But K&N isn't saying the 05 and 06 drop ins are the same so kinda paranoid about spending the $40 if it's not gonna work right....And I'm heading over to check out the CAI now.....Thanx guys..And I've been around; just not too much posting..Will try harder !!

aggiedude

I know I know I know....and we had talked about it before .....What colors you got again ???? Then let's ask what should SECOND mod be ??? ha ha

aggiedude

Hey folks, I can't seem to find any CAI or KN filter for the car (2006 base), so was just going to shoot for wheel sfor my 1st little item. Sure, it ain't going to do anything for the performance or anything but I got that little "itch" and gotta do something or I'm gonna lose it...What do...

aggiedude

Cole, just lemme know when/where y'all might be near Austin and I'll find us a place to eat ok....Some really good places right on I35 ok....

aggiedude

Ya know I'm sick as hell I can't go right guys ??? Get me a new Vibe, find a great site to hang out in ever once in a while, and then find out there's just no way I can take off 'cause they changed my dang schedule....If it weren't for the dang benefits and me having to buy food, electricity, pay mo...

aggiedude

Antonios Mexican Restaurant is in the northern area of Austin (I believe exit 238 or 239 off I35), and there's a few more places up in Round Rock maybe 10-15 miles farther up....You guys let me know what kinda food y'all might be interested in and stuff and I'll try to find y'all a decent sit down j...

aggiedude

Hey guys, due to my dang work schedule I'm not gonna be able to make it, BUT please keep me informed if y'all happen to stop in Austin somewhere for some chow or something and I'll try to at least hook up with y'all for a little bit....I live pretty close to I35 in north central Austin and would lov...

aggiedude

Kinda screwy down here in South Central Texas...Paid $2.35 a gallon Saturday in Galveston, and paid $2.51 a gallon today here in Austin...

aggiedude

Decided to name mine "Recon".....Kinda fits with the Stealth color and me being prior military.And yea, I've only given 2 car's names in my 43 years but thought it sounded "right"...

aggiedude

Not too bad but I guess to me, it's just "too blue"..Like most have said, maybe in monotone it would look better, but perddy dang sure I still woulda picked my Stealth....

aggiedude

Hey crazytrain, just got mine on the 17th and almost at the 900 mile mark and loving mine as well......Only prob I'm having is trying to get used to driving a "car" again...I've been in a truck for the past 20 years, whether it was a Nissan or Dodge and this little fella is something speci...

aggiedude

Anything ever come on the group buy ??? I just ordered my hood deflector and if nothing is less than $106 shipped I guess I'll order the 4 window deflectors.....By the way, has anyone installed just the front ones ((Money issues)) and if so, does it look ok ??? Just checkin'...Thanx and God bless, M...

aggiedude

Hey crazytrain, nice pic and "GORGEOUS" color...I hear Stealth is a really nice color to get but what the heck wud I know ???? I love it and hope ya keep posting...I just got done gettin' the bugs and stuff off mine about 2 hours ago and put a nice coat of wax on him so think I'm good for ...

aggiedude

Another welcome to the site from yet another Texan...I just traded my 2004 Dodge Dakota in for my '06 Stealth base and love the heck out of it..Was really scared that it might not grow on me, but only after 1 week of ownership the "mod bug" has kicked in and my weatherguard bug deflector i...

aggiedude

Had to vote for my Texan buddy, but good luck to you all...Ain't a one of them NOT deserving. Gorgeous vehicles !!!

aggiedude

Hey guys, will changing out my freakin' "beep beep" horn void any part of my warranty ??? Y'all are right; I love this car but embarrases the heck out of me when I gotta honk the horn, and I've had to do it twice in 2 days so far....So will it effect warranty stuff ???

aggiedude

I "think" I got it...Now I'm gonna try and shrink the pic a little..Thanx a million guys !!!

aggiedude

Alright...Went to dealer today (Sunday) and they were closed, but did get pics of my future ride (tomorrow)..They had already tinted it and just need the pinstriping..I took some pics but folks, how the heck do I post them ?? Is there a sticky/thread somewhere to walk me thru this ??? Thanx a millio...

aggiedude

Just got off work and hoping them folks will call me around noon-3pm central time so's I can go pick up my new Stealth Bomber...Haven't come up with a nickname yet, but hell, haven't driven it yet, so guess that's ok huh ??ha haThanx for the positive feedback Colonel. I think just having this site a...

aggiedude

Hey Zuben, I'm requesting that they do 30 on the front and 20 on the rest of the car....Would that be ok at night still for seeing out the back ?? The tinter said it would but wondering if you knew fer sure..Marty

aggiedude

Cole, if'n I get my Stealth tomorrow, AND I can get off work for that weekend I'm gonna do my bestest to get up there ok.....Would love for my 1st "trip" in the new car to be on a Vibe trip.Fiance' would too..Let's hope buddy !!

aggiedude

Signed the papers last night and they were supposed to have gotten it today from Ft Worth (they sold the one here), but apparently we did things too late so they promised it tomorrow...I did request they put the 30 tint on front and 20 everywhere else and they said they'll do it after they detail it...

aggiedude

I'm sure I I will get used to it Colonel, but I guess my "real" concern is just trading in my truck, which I love dangitt, for what some might consider an econobox...I'm definitely NOT saying that's what it is; it's just scaring the hell outta me considering it could happen as soon as noon...

aggiedude

So y'all guarantee I'll get used to that low armrest, right ?? Dealer offered me ((over the phone,so...we'll see tomorrow)) what I wanted for my truck (payoff) and $16000 plus TTL for theirs..Stealth with A/T, preferred package, and monotone..Sticker is $19050 so hoping that's good..Wish me luck tom...

aggiedude

I guess dangitt...Didn't get a chance to go look at the Neptune and Salsa with the XM premium Monsoon systems today....Had a few tree limb problems in the yard that needed taking care of so had to do that, but hopefully after lunch tomorrow...Still really torn about trading truck but just gotta thin...

aggiedude

Thanx a bunch.....Again, guess I've been spoiled for a while and would definitely have to get used to it..But wouldn't feel as guilty putting my foot to the floor either or watching the gas needle move...Just now still gotta decide on Stealth w/o Monsoon ((the one I drove today)) or Neptune or Salsa...

aggiedude

I'm sure I would get used to it all in time; just the things that kinda hit me today...Like I said, my Dakota has spolied me in plushness and stuff,except for the FACT that it's a really thirsty truck, and I've driven trucks for the past 10+ years, so changing over to something like this is really g...

aggiedude

I "would be" a MT driver but fiance refuses to drive one anymore and "if'n" we go out in my vehicle and I happen to drink a few beers and need her to drive, the vehicle just better be an AT..ha ha. But I really gotta get some feedback on that armrest thing; it sucked, but everyth...

aggiedude

Ok, ok,ok...Went and drove the Stealth one and loved everything about it """"EXCEPT FOR"""" the dang armrest is soooooo low, you can't rest your arm on it. Yea, I'm spoiled and rest my arm on mine ALL the time. So is their a remedy ((no smart (removed) help ne...
