Steelies (other than black?)

I could use some opinions/suggestions, just in case this is ridiculous:My hubcaps are completely wrecked (thanks to the previous owner... mostly). I'm just going to paint the steelies and ditch the hubcaps until the tires wear out, and then get a tire+rim package. The car is an '03, Lava Red with th...

No kidding.I was pretty relieved until I got home and popped the hood!Her car had no damage, the shop just buffed the red paint off her bumper for no charge and sent her on her way.

This is what 1k damage looks like...

Pontoyota met the back of a '98 Trans Sport. It looks fine, but the bumper rebar mount broke away from the body (into the frame rail), the rebar is bent, and the absorber is squashed. $1010+gst.

One update to an old thread - iPhone would suggest switching to "airplane mode" every time it was plugged into the iPod adaptor. Updating to iOS 4 fixed this.

Re: Anywhere to get fog light plugs? (ajf3)

I believe the fog lights are the same as the Matrix, and the base Matrix came with black plastic grilles in the foglamp holes - not sure how they fit into place, though.

Re: Replacement fogs (star_deceiver)

Thanks for the input - I've decided just to go ahead with them.These are from the day I bought it - not so clean any more... only 103k kms though, and sold by the original owner!

Replacement fogs

Hi,I finally have a question about my new (to me) Vibe that the 'search' function hasn't solved...Both of my front fog lamps are cracked. Are eBay "oem style" replacements decent? I've heard/seen horror stories regarding poor quality housings heating up & catching fire, from the VW com...
