ivan, you already know what i think. and my suggestions. LOL it ties your black/white theme together very nicely.

What about some black or gunmetal wheels with a fat chrome/polished lip. That would look SICK! Nice choice on spoiler,

It looks wicked! I like the contrast of colors.....is it a GM piece or aftermarket? And if you don't mind me asking how much did it set you back?Once again good job looks sweet!

It's the OEM spoiler from Gm, had to get the body shop to order it as a replacement (told them I was in an accident) because they wouldn't sell just the top spoiler. It cost $600 in total that's painting, installing and aquiring. The Guys at CMP the dealership where I got my car wanted $1100 to just get the spoilers and wouldn't sell just the top one. Hope that answers your question.

looks very good, now you need the mid spoiler and as suggested some sick black 18 inch rims with might I had a chrome lip, then drop the car an inch or two for an aggressive stance and no one will even think of racing you man.

Looks good! I agree that some polished black (powdercoat maybe) rims would complete the look.

hell, why not paint the roof rails black to match?

Celtic_Curse · Post by **Celtic_Curse** » Wed Jul 28, 2004 2:52 pm

Using the body shop they only ordered the top spoiler, didn't have to buy both....sorry . No drunken I'm not painting the roof rack Thats enough black on my car LOL.

DowneastVibe · Post by **DowneastVibe** » Sun Aug 01, 2004 9:45 am

SO, if you go through an autobody shop they can just order a top spoiler? My GM dealer said it would be about $1200 to order them both. That sound right?

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Sun Aug 01, 2004 10:13 am

um... NO! they are blowing you smoke! i think if you search "spoilers" you'll find that you can order both from GMpartsdirect for like $700 i think.

he's in Maine. so it shouldn't be! but yes, maybe $1200 cdn, but not usd!

Smokin' Rubber · Post by **Smokin' Rubber** » Sun Aug 01, 2004 4:53 pm

Nope he's right, my dealership said it was $1,100 but that might have been with paint (any maybe install tho I doubt it)

ALi3N · Post by **ALi3N** » Mon Aug 02, 2004 10:39 am

am i the only one that cannot stand the mid spoiler, it looks like a cheezy drink shelf. yech.

Well I don't really like the GM spoilers but they're not horrible

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Mon Aug 02, 2004 11:09 am

here's what i found on GMpartsdirect's website:GM PART # 12498809 CATEGORY: Rear Compartment Lid-(to a business address only)PACK QTY: 1 CORE CHARGE: $0.00GM LIST: $760.00OUR PRICE: $638.40 DESCRIPTION: SPOILER (primer)Spoiler Package Upper wing and Midgate spoilers add sporty style. Upper wing has three mounting stanchions. Midgate spoiler mounts to the vehicle with two stanchions. Available in Abyss, Salsa, and Satellite, as well as primed for custom painting. http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/r...98809

Celtic_Curse · Post by **Celtic_Curse** » Mon Aug 02, 2004 11:18 am

The price I got for the unprimered top spoiler was $400 CAD if you figure it out in USD thats not bad, again that was just for the top spoiler I'm not a fan of the mid spoiler.

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Mon Aug 02, 2004 11:22 am

i didn't see just the individual spoilers, but i did see that the s/c is $3094! ouch!!!!

rodzombie · Post by **rodzombie** » Mon Aug 02, 2004 1:30 pm

No luck getting the spoilers seperate through a body shop where I live. I wound up buying just the mid gate spoiler off Ebay. Dealership was charging the body shop $679.99 for both top and mid spoilers. Got mine off ebay for a little over $200.00

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Mon Aug 02, 2004 2:04 pm

i bought my spoiler package, top and mid for $550 shipped already painted satellite on ebay! whoo hoo ebay! and this was last summer when they first came out.

DowneastVibe · Post by **DowneastVibe** » Fri Aug 06, 2004 9:54 am

Has anyone found an aftermarket spolier for the vibe yet? And I think it was a $1200 price tag on the spoiler painted from GM.

well, they must have an over shipment of satellite spoilers, because they are less:GM PART # 12498808 CATEGORY: Rear Compartment Lid-(to a business address only)PACK QTY: 1 CORE CHARGE: $0.00GM LIST: $621.43OUR PRICE: $522.00 DESCRIPTION: SPOILER (silver satellite)Spoiler Package Upper wing and Midgate spoilers add sporty style.

Celtic_Curse · Post by **Celtic_Curse** » Sat Aug 07, 2004 1:36 pm

Even on the Pontiac website the Silver and Abyss colours are less than the others except of course the unpainted. However I've noticed in the city alot of 2005 Vibes driving around with just one or the other spoiler so some dealers may want to sell them individually. Now all the vibes have been black but I'm starting to think that they may be coming that way from the showroom floor. You should keep trying to get them try another auto body shop untill one has success at all the dealers in town. I love my top spoiler .

ooops my bad LOL.

drunkenmaxx · Post by **drunkenmaxx** » Tue Aug 17, 2004 10:21 pm

why the hell is there no neptune spoilers?? isn't that the most popular color?

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Tue Aug 17, 2004 11:07 pm

no, satellite was the most produced color. which is probably why it's cheaper to purchase those parts since there are more of them.

Merzbow · Post by **Merzbow** » Wed Aug 18, 2004 1:11 pm

Great! I like your little vinyls on the sides too, didn't notice those before.

Celtic_Curse · Post by **Celtic_Curse** » Sun Oct 03, 2004 2:13 pm

Thanks Merz, Silent Rage did those. Wait till the Red Neons kick in under the car and out the front scoop.

Z600 · Post by **Z600** » Thu Oct 07, 2004 10:49 pm

I really like the top spoiler (the mid one's a ridiculous idea). But what REALLY makes yours look nice is the way the black balances with the bug deflector on the front. Excellent!I'm lookin' for one, but the GM spoilers cost WAY too #$&! much!~~Z600

Celtic_Curse · Post by **Celtic_Curse** » Sun Oct 10, 2004 9:42 am

Thanks, Just wish that the roof filler caps were orderable so that I could finish the roofline.

UWAdventurer · Post by **UWAdventurer** » Thu Dec 16, 2004 7:33 am

Looks nice. How difficult was/is it to install? We would like to get a top spoiler in Salsa.

Celtic_Curse · Post by **Celtic_Curse** » Thu Dec 16, 2004 1:44 pm

I had it done professionally. Some of the members have done it themselves from what I understand it's not too hard....I just don't have the time to do stuff so I send my Vibe out to get done. By the way it cost about $120 to get it put on.

Jezter · Post by **Jezter** » Mon Dec 20, 2004 3:00 am

I have both spoilers on mine, had the dealer order me some and they put them on a month after I got the car. I really like both of them, yes, even the mid one.

Raven · Post by **Raven** » Mon Dec 20, 2004 7:15 am

There's a set of aftermarket spoilers painted to match for $499.00 on Ebay.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...%3AIT

northvibe · Post by **northvibe** » Sat Sep 17, 2005 5:55 pm

so gmpartsdirect has the spoilers for the vibe both mid and top for 300 but only the top is like 354?? http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/r...98809(primer'ed) odd.... any who, how hard is installing them your self? and andy idea on the cost it is to get them painted?

scherry2 · Post by **scherry2** » Sat Oct 01, 2005 7:53 am
