So one day for no explicable reason, the plastic panel that covers the door lock/window controls on my 2004 vibe just all out broke.The plastic part that clips onto the actual electronic part seems to have cracked and that caused the actual buttons to just drop down and become unusable.I have remedi...

I get what you are saying, and i would totally go for some awesome rims rather than hubcaps but until i can afford that i hate my car looking like i got tires from a junkyard. So, no I do not want spinners. I am just looking for something clean and neat but not necessarily factory issued.

shawnothaninja

So, I had an unfortunate incident that resulted in losing a hubcap on my car. I was thinking of just getting a stock replacement, but then I figured why not get something custom and cool?I have 16" wheels and was wondering if anyone knew of a good web site/store to find custom hubcaps. I've goo...

shawnothaninja

a really knocked up 1996 buick skylark! hahaa.. it was back when all i cared about was being able to be my own transportation. if it had wheels and an engine, i was okay with it. hehe

I am working on a comic book right now, as well as a novel..i use illustrator, but i also think it would be really awesome to do a comic book where all the backgrounds are photomanipulation of actual pictures using photoshop.. thats what im planning on doing..and a good program is comic book creator...

shawnothaninja

oh yes! black rims for sure!! thanks for the suggestion.. i hadnt thought of that yet, but it only makes sense

shawnothaninja

i never saw crank, but i wanted to. isnt it about the guy who has like 24 hours or something to live? im wondering how a sequel would play out to a movie like that...haha now I need to go see the first one

shawnothaninja

ahhh! Thankyou for sharing that... It definately makes sense. I guess when I go to buy larger wheels I will talk with someone about the weight and all that...

shawnothaninja

I love the racing seats!! not a big fan of the front grille.. I prefer the 2004 look much more.. but otherwise it looks amazing!

shawnothaninja

I should also mention, this is not working through an outsourcer, but direct for the company! The building is designed to look like Yahoo!pretty sweet

shawnothaninja

thanks guys!! I will be doing phone consultation for small businesses regarding yahoo! web site packages, hosting, and stuff like that!benefits are amazing, start day one! everything seems top of the line! im excited!

shawnothaninja

I'm planning on it! Except I love driving my car, hehe...but once the weather starts getting nice, you better believe I'll be walking! on a side note... it has been snowing in Oregon today

shawnothaninja

I am going to be starting next month as a Senior Client Advocate for Yahoo! Small Business Solutions.Best of all, the location is exactly one mile from my house!:D

shawnothaninja

Spiderwick was awesome!! I just rented American Gangster the other night and it was pretty cool as well...

shawnothaninja

hahahaaa, oh dang! That would be a blast, but I bet its illegal in Oregon..

shawnothaninja

I'm going for a good strong contrast between black and silver for my vibe. the initial color is silver, so I am planning on getting a black spoiler to compliment the overlays, and if i can I also want to paint the plastic cladding black as well! It is amazing to me what a difference the black arrowh...

shawnothaninja

Those are some mad google skills! haha, either way thanks for sharing.. I think Im gonna get the spoiler from there..

shawnothaninja

I'm waiting to get a PS3 for when more games come out for it.. I have so many different people telling me XBOX 360 or PS3 , and everyone has reasons one is better than the other..so I just am sticking to customizing my vibe for now

shawnothaninja

yay! thanks for sharing that link V! I am amazed that after so many google searches, something like that site has never come to my attention! Another reason I love this forum

shawnothaninja

awesome... the only thing i noticed on the ebay was that I can't see how to specify black or silver.. Guess I'll have to look harder.

shawnothaninja

I bought mine in february at a dealership and didn't notice at the time, but they sold me a car with a shattered foglight! There is tape covering the light to try and make it look better, but if you look closely it doesn't look good at all. I am wanting to know where I could buy a replacement for no...

shawnothaninja

Quote, originally posted by Lancer Â»I went for Enkei's 18" rims. On the highway they are a little louder, but in the city they are VERY quiet. The handeling is MUCH better then the stock 16" wheels, too. If this is the case, then I really want to get 18"s

shawnothaninja

so technically then, are there any useful benefits to getting bigger wheels, or does it just look really cool?I don't mind driving in cars with bigger wheels and less tire air, but i do love how smooth my vibe drives.

shawnothaninja

I will definately post some pictures! I am planning on ordering them this weekend after i get paid.. does anyone know how to palce an order on MrGrille.com? I wasnt able to find it anywhere, but I see that they have 50 of them for sale on ebay as well...

shawnothaninja

smooth ride vs. handling?Are 18"s better handling, but rougher ride?

shawnothaninja

hmmm, that's an idea..

shawnothaninja

hahaa... seriouslyI am planning on getting the 3pc set from Mr. Grille for my car..what i didnt realize is that they are overlays, which makes it alot easier to install because i don't have to remove the honeycomb pieces. And it is going to look extremely awesome judging by some of the pics I have s...

shawnothaninja

hahaha.. threadsurrection so, how would an 18" front 19" rear handle? Wouldn't all 18" or all 19" be a smoother ride? Maybe Im not thinking in correct road physics..hmm..

shawnothaninja

I really want to see one.. the pics are cool, but hard to tell from them... I prefer the 2004 model for the lights, but I think the "muscular" stance of the '09 is pretty much just awesome!If only I had the moneyy... hehe

shawnothaninja

I am wanting to get 18" as well!! I was talking to a guy at the local les schwab about it last week when I went to get my tires switched around because the guys at the dealership put them on the wrong way...hehe directional..wow! I love how it looks, and glad to hear it handles alot better! :DI...

shawnothaninja

hmmm interesting, i tried searching but didn't find that..i guess this may be the same topic but more of a different vein than the last conversationI was just sad that Forza 2 put the focus and not the vibe... I think the vibe is a much better idea for a game like that!

shawnothaninja

ahh..rally sports challenge? hmmm...well let me know if fast and furious has it! the vibe is such an awesome car, i cant believe forza has the ford focus hatchback but not the vibe! I think it would be an awesome looking car for one of those games.. of course I know that those games have to receive ...

shawnothaninja

So I just purchased Forza Motorsports yesterday for XBOX and I began to wonder what racing games existed that feature the Vibe!From what I know GT4 for playstation does... but I don't think its on Forza.. maybe Forza 2? Either way, a very random thought indeed, but who wouldn't get a kick out of dri...

shawnothaninja

i agree with PlatinumVibe08... I actually never even thought about the possibility to remove the moldings, but i prefer them on.

shawnothaninja

thanks for the advice. yeah, i guess black would be best.. i wouldn't want silver to blend so much that it isn't noticeable! dang, i can't wait.. only $106 too

shawnothaninja

okay, nevermind to my last question, as i just found the 04 grilles! Man, I have to get those.. But I'm wondering... black or silver for my silver vibe? Black is a good contrast.. but silver might make it look sleek... hmmmm...

shawnothaninja

ahhh, the billet! this is what i want to get, but can one get it for the 2004 vibe?! i love that look

shawnothaninja

looks awesome! i've been looking for a grille myself... i saw someone on here who has the horizontal slatted grille on a 2004 model and it looks amazing.. where did you purchase yours?

shawnothaninja

thankyou! yeah, the black overlays look even better than i expected! It's definately a good contrast.

shawnothaninja

I bought it on valentines day this year and have many plans, most of which I won't be able to afford until later this year. I just put on the grafxwerks decals today, but I also plan on getting the body kit eventually, changing out the wheels for something a little bigger, and completely re-doing th...

shawnothaninja

sweet! i just got my decals in the mail! im so excited, but unfortunately i have to wait for a sunny warm day because its been raining alot here.today looks okay if the sun is out by the time im off workpictures up soon!

shawnothaninja

awesome! thanks ramenboy.. i think it will be helpful to see some pictures that would give me an idea of what it would look like before i try anything..i also like the idea to check from some crashed vibes..hehe

shawnothaninja

I ended up purchasing the Canon Powershots SX100 Si. It is 8 megapixels with a 10x optical zoom lenz. I picked it up for $250, which was right at my budget! The only downside was that it takes alkaline batteries so i have to get a charger kit to make things easier. but so far it takes amazing pictur...

shawnothaninja

haha wow yeah small world! hillsboro NB eh? nice

shawnothaninja

yeah, i heard that you cant really get it the same exact color as the car.wow, black sounds pretty awesome! i mean, it would still have that two tone look but it would be pretty unique looking and i think the contrast would also look good

shawnothaninja

awesome! thanks! woo hoo *clicks the link*

shawnothaninja

i didnt have a choice, and i was in desperate need of a car. the place i went to had a good deal on it and it was the only vibe.now that i am a true vibe enthusiast i am starting to want to make this car my own..so thats why for me. i first got it because the interior and gas mileage and storage opt...

shawnothaninja

haha.. oh yeah, i mean the car is awesome.. but that is the only thing that bothers me about it.. im hoping it will be cheaper to paint than a whole car.

shawnothaninja

awesome to hear! i really want to do that, and i guess i will look around at local automotive painting places to see if they'd be willing to do that and at what cost.i think monotone looks the best

shawnothaninja

So on my 2004 vibe base model it has the carbon fiber (I think... im not sure what its made of, but its very plastic-ee..haha) on the front and back bumpers and along the sides.I prefer the full painted look, and was wondering if anyone can tell me if I could get those painted and possibly where and...
