Oh wow that is one hot Vibe. I love the side marker turn signals. That's something I'd like to do to mine. Welcome back!

Welcome back! I'm really digging the two tone look you have going on. I love that the wheels match the cladding .Quote, originally posted by hotbug1776 »must find dealer front facia!!!CrateEngineDepot. com .

Very sharp. Nice pic from the Ville Marie tunnel. Do you leave the the fascia extensions on during winter mode? I'm also guessing you won't be going with those nice wheels for the winter?

thanks for all the comments and for the front fascia extension i did the mistake of keeping it on for winter and because of that one got ripped off so now i only have one. So i definitively will be removing them once i get myself a new set. And as for the wheels i have a set of 15" steelies for the winter. once i get my winter mode on ill post up a picture. And this is a list of mods i'm thinking for next summer what do you guys think?- Hid kit 8000k for headlights- Hid kit 4300k yellow for the fog lights- removing both wings in the back- coilovers either tein or TRD- putting a ski rack on the roof

Yes I'm slobbering all over that body kit on the two tone.... The spoilers really add another dimension, love it! What part is that on your lower bumper with the dual exhaust holes? How did you accomplish the dual exhaust? That's on my wish list too

haha well thank you for the like and the dual exhaust is not that complicated at all. It's a muffler with a single in dual out set-up. Here is a closer picture for you to see exaclty how it's set up.

I couldn't really tell you because i bought the car with the body kit but from what i can see and from my understanding its the bumper extension from pontiac that the guy cut out a second part simillar to the first one.

Nice vibe. Looks just like kevin's (kevera) 2 tone! He hasn't posted in. About a year though. At any rate, like I said, nice whip
