Mike and I will plan on attending as well. Like we'd miss it... 34 and 35

CaCathy13

Wow! I shoulda stuck mine on ebay before it became available to everyone!

CaCathy13

Those ones are the best shots...Nick took a few pics of my car at the MI meet where you can see the yellow from outside the car.

For those of you not at the Michigan meet, I thought I'd post up my newest mod...my custom embroidered headrests. I got them embroidered with a GT. I gave them an overlay, they digitized it, and presto, my headrest covers get stitched.As an FYI to anyone who wants to do this, the headrest covers are...

Nice to see another Vibe with the hood. time for wheels!! get those stock ones off of there

CaCathy13

Shaddup.

CaCathy13

I had lots of fun and enjoyed seeing all the Vibes and everyone else. Weather couldn't have been nicer, thank god for sunblock. Nick, (removed), and Aaron, you guys rock. Thanks for planning it all.Special thanks for Jeff (and the Joseph Pontiac service department)also for helping me out with the wi...

CaCathy13

Don't get all twitterpated...not everyone is staying 40 some miles away from the dealership so, as Aaron pointed out, traveling to Detroit is the last thing I want to do. I live about 1 mile from a Dave and Busters, so that sure doesn't interest me...knock on the extra driving time and miles, no tha...

CaCathy13

I have both in my GT. Big difference. Huge. Massive.There is more vibration, nothing excessive though...the mounts are amazing though. I went from having the torque brace to the mounts, so I can only imagine stock to mounts. Get them. Now.

CaCathy13

I dunno...I have TQILA13 (tequila) on my beater and I've never even been pulled over in that car. Ever.

CaCathy13

I get the concept, however his isn't functional. An add on like that looks weird when it isn't functional...IMO of course. I have the RAM Air Hood, however since I have a CAI I don't need it to function...I have grills in place so you don't see that it doesn't open to the engine.

CaCathy13

I have a basslink as well...it bumps. I have mine laid down though...it wasn't sturdy enough to stand up while I corner in the GT.I would suggest a basslink for anyone who wants a bass sound but doesn't necessarily want a box or if they don't know too much about audio equipment. Plus, it's SO cute. ...

CaCathy13

I love my XM. When I drive my beater, I really miss the XM since I have to listen to the "real" radio. My XM tuner I think was like 150ish and my radio about 170ish. I got a magnetic antenna that was 30. My boyfriend has XM in his car, I have it in the Vibe, and we got the Delphi in the ho...

CaCathy13

I have SIKKSPD for my plates.

CaCathy13

I agree. This is a stick on piece of plastic?? Why exactly would you want it on your hood? I don't get it.

CaCathy13

You're SOL. Sometimes to fix a painted rim, it's almost as much as buying another one. I doubt there is anything you can do to totally fix it...try doing something yourself and you could make it worse. I did the same thing to my boyfriends Mille Miglia's Action Sports, his are painted gunmetal as we...

CaCathy13

I already have yellow decals from Grafxwerks, but I dind't go nuts with them. I have the front arrow head and the back arrowhead along with vibe and gt. I shaved my sides. I have a few other yellow decals, specifically a yellow XM one that Ryan made me to go on still.Wow, had I known wheelmax was so...

It's my debit card/bank account...it should be showing up asap. ANyway, they said it hasn't even been processed yet. ARGH!

Well, in the beginning of April I ordered some wheels from Wheelmax. Unfortunately, I have had MAJOR issues with my order. First, they sent me the wrong tires...I wanted Toyo T1S's, but I was sent FZ4's. I called to complain, and they said they were out of stock on the T1S's and theres no way they c...

CaCathy13

Nice choice on the car! Sad to see your Vibe go, but you gotta please yourself, not this forum. I personally think the Mazda looks a little too wagon-y, but it is a good car. I'm sure you'll enjoy it!BTW, don't go so much by 1/4 times until you do it yourself...a car may be fast but it can still get...

CaCathy13

Why not just do a CAI versus the ram air hood? I have heard that a CAI, such as the one AEM makes, makes more power than the functional ram air hood.But I only bought my hood for looks anyway Also, check out my website (link below) for my dyno results. Would give you a good indicator...at the time, ...

CaCathy13

The Vibey. Pretty simple for me.

CaCathy13

I know you can't see it in the pics, but those holes aren't open into my engine. So, no chance for anything to get in there for me.edit: for mike who likes to make me feel like an idiot

Anotther pic...hopefully will get some good ones next week...sposed to be rainy this weekend

Another pic...I also should say my corners don't *exactly* match up as the stock hood, but it's close enough. There isn't much that can be done about it...hoods are hard to get perfect, if at all possible.

Well, after buying the hood last Sept/October and having it sit in my garage all winter, I finally got it painted last week. I got the hood on ebay for $375 and when it came, there were chips and stuff, noticably one of the corners was broken and needed to be refabricated. Luckily, fiberglass is eas...

CaCathy13

I am staying at the Best Western in Fenton as well. Going to Auburn Hills would be too far, part or not. I'd rather save some miles on my car and be close to the dealership....Not to mention there is a car wash about 1/2 a mile from the hotel!!

CaCathy13

Count me in43

CaCathy13

Pending any unforseen problems, I will be there as well.

CaCathy13

I haven't had any problems with my pullies, and they are from Unorthodox. Maybe it was human error on those ones that had problems... it's important to have them instaled by someone who knows that they're doing. The only thing I don't like about them is that now my car idles a little lower so it tak...

CaCathy13

Yea....my site is down for a few days as it gets renewed or something, I dunno it's my boyfriends deal.....David cheak my site in a couple days for yellow shots of the calipers. The G2 yellow is very yellow...bright yellow...be forewarned.

CaCathy13

Don't stick it on the dot matrix, i'm sure the velcro will stick with no problem but the sensor might not go through it when you're passing through the tolls. I have a radar detector do that's taking up my space so I just hold up my ipass when I go through... you can always just stick it in the uppe...

CaCathy13

Correct, those numbers are at the wheel. I think there is a 15-20% estimated difference between the two. If there even a way to accurately figure out your HP at the flywheel??

CaCathy13

On Saturday I took my Vibe to a local performance shop and put it up on the dyno to see what kinda power the Vibe is putting out. Run 1: 161.5 HP and 117.8 TorqueRun 2: 168.7 HP and 122.2 TorqueI think I let up too early on the first run, but I did much better the second time around. The graph reall...

CaCathy13

I heated and used fishing line (much better than floss) on the badges, but no matter what you will still have some sort of sticky residue on the body....use extreme caution if you use any sort of chemical to take it off...you could just keep heating the sticky and "roll" the stuff off.... ...

CaCathy13

Got another quote today from a guy ilquikgtx referred me too....$300 bucks, front and back painted. Ding ding ding, we have a winner. I'm happy now!

CaCathy13

I agree! cathy likey the 1st one....but in reflective yellow....hehehehe

CaCathy13

ok...but I'm not going to paint the hood myself.The place only talked about painting, not adjusting anything... painting the extra parts for color matching. I don't know why it would need it though, even though a metallic can be harder to "get right". It might be nice to have my bumper rep...

CaCathy13

The would need to do something to the bumper and fenders though, right? At least buff them out...I would think the surface would look very different... no?

CaCathy13

Shaddup Mike...you couldn't help anyway!I got a price quote for painting this hood this weekend...get ready for this...$1,043. A thousand f'ing bucks!!! They must be kidding me...but really, they arent. I can't believe it. That includes color matching the bumper (complete repainting) and dusting and...

CaCathy13

I'm getting a cost estimate tomorrow... if all goes well I'm just having them ship the hood to the paint place. The guilt has passed and now I'm giddy with excitement.

CaCathy13

Is the hood fiberglass??
