Greetings...

Post by ttkammer »

Howdy... I am new to the group and just wanted to say "hi". I have a 2007 Salsa Red Vibe that I acquired from my father-in-law about a year ago (it had just 40,000 well-maintained miles on it). Since then... I've done a little bit to spruce it up. I stripped it of all its badges, replaced the front brakes with cross-drilled/slotted rotors from PowerStop, upgraded the headlights/foglights with Arctic White bulbs and wiring harnesses from Nokya (and performed an over-ride to the "daytime running lamps"), added 17 inch Enkei J-10 wheels and tires (225/45/17), added an iPod interface system, and upgraded the speakers. I may tint the windows and see if I can find that "Roof Rack Delete" kit, but since it is a commuter car... I don't have any intention of messing with the engine or suspension. Regardless, I love seeing what everyone else has done to their Vibe. Keep up the good work, y'all!
