It Pays to Check Out Your Local Salvage Yard... Look What I Found!!

[BlueCrush]

I called ahead and they said they had two Vibes in the yard. One was an '03 Base and the other was an '04 GT. I went out in search of a center storage lid from an '03 or '04 for my '05. I found this in a Vibe that had no engine, doors, seats or dash just sitting there where it would normally be, virtually untouched. I could swear there was a spotlight shining down on it from the sky and heard heavenly music and birds chirping when I saw it. This was a most excellent find for $15.00:

Awesome! Sweet find! Might have to see if there are any in the locals yards around here just for misc stuff!

Good find! Now I just need to find a Vibe like yours in a local junkyard so I can have the leather seats for my '03 GT.

My thoughts exactly!!Maybe salvage the sub too.

i still prefer my custom leather interior over those factory ones. but still good find! is it me, but is there a color difference in interior plastic??

[tnpartsguy]

How much did they want for the GT steering wheel?

I couldn't figure why you would want another "center arm rest thingie"(whatever) Brian. Then I saw an 05 and realized that the new one is crappy compaired to the one in the 03-04's, good find. And yes, leather seats would be great!

I would only get the leathe seats if they were heated though. That's jus me though.

i think your right trdvibe, remember toyota had 2 colors for the interior, stone and gray.

The color is a slight shade darker. You can really tell with the flash from the camera. In regular daylight and on a sunny day you can't tell at all the color difference. It's good enough for me. As far as heated leather seats. I can get it seat heater kit from the dealer for $500 or probably less from an independent company.

Well you can get the interior for Pontiac in a light or dark grey, I went with the dark grey myself. Still it looks good, you got that useful compartment out of the deal. The difference between a base steering wheel and the GT steering wheel is the GT is leather wrapped. Unless you buy an 05 base with the leather option.
