It's been awhile but...

Post by steven0054 »

I've been busy with the VIBErator, I tinted my windows 5% in the back and 25% in the front. I also sanded and buffed the headlights; they are looking great. I also buffed almost all the paint transfer but while I was in college the dorm parking lot gave the vibe a beating >=|I also ditched the cracked hubcaps and scrubbed and painted the "rims" a satin black. I hope to get some real rims soon.

Anyways here are a few pictures of the vibe, tell me what you think

The paint and the freshly painted steelies look great! Now you need some 2003-2004 black headlight housings ;)!

Thanks! yeah when I buy the projector headlight kit, I'm going to sand the housing down and paint it
, I also want to paint the fog lights a darker yellow, kinda like the older Pontiacs. I'm actually going to give the car to my wife, just trying to clean it up a bit. I was going to change the interior. incorporate a burgundy color in the seats and door panels. Since that's her favorite color, ha. Not the plastic parts though, I think changing the color of that silver looks tacky, but that's my opinion.
