Guess my question would be "why?" but as I know so far... no one has.

Well no way the 130HP Vibe engine is gonna be able to handle all that height and wheels... def need a big engine upgrade.

probably easier to take the chassis and powertrain from a 4x4 and drop the Vibe body on it. Just find one with about the right wheelbase and your halfway there.

There's a fool with an envy vibe that works at the bass pro here who lifted his, it is truely nasty looking, unlike that photoshop pic that actually looks better. whats worse is an idiot here who lifted his evo, I'd really like to know what the hell was going through his mind.

Never thought I'd say it about the Vibe, but I need to raise mine... Not enough ground clearance! She scrapes every time I pull in the driveway now. I guess those fifty something thousand miles have taken their toll. (removed)!

I'll try and get some pics of the vibe without getting caught, Bass Pro shops distribution warehouse is where I used to work and saw the car. As long as I can get past security and into the loy you'll have pics. As for the Evo nobody even knows who it is driving it around I'v seen it twice. its a bright bright lime green raised with chrome wheels and checkered flags on the side. There's a car show that my peeps are sponsoring in a couple weeks hopefully he'll drag that peice up in there so we can get some pics and crack some jokes.

Actually, the only reason I found it was because I was looking for pix of 66 Mustang fastback and I came across the photo of the "ruined classic Mustang".I still think some are funny (ex.
