Just getting some opinions...

Post by crazyeaglefan »

A front end bra with a billet grill? Billet grill alone? And if you had 600 extra bucks lying around, what would you do? Billet grill and rear spoilers (both), or a sunroof?Man I am excited. I loved my 96 Celica and my 00 Tundra. This is up there with both...and they were sweet rides. I figured a nicely tricked out Vibe would look reaaallll nice. Not to mention the 36+ mpg...

the intake and exhaust option would definitly mean more "seat of the pants" fun, but if you're looking for appearance stuff, how about a billet gril and one of those 3M (or other brand) clear plastic bras? someone had a post about installing one on here not too long ago...

Will the intake void any warranty on the motor? I am leary about engine modifications because of voiding warranty. I learned my lesson on suspensions when I put a three inch lift on a 00 Tacoma and the first problem I had Toyota said my warranty was void. Hence why I traded it so quickly for the Tundra.

Yes, all highway. I drive 30 miles to work. It takes me 2 minutes to get to the interstate and my office is just off the interstate...all highway mileage. Plus this is small town America, I don't have stop and go highway traffic in the city.

Go on eBay. Get CAI, exhaust, springs, billet grill and a rear spoiler. If you can install it all yourself then you should be able to get it all from there pretty cheap.
