I've read that they are going to start rolling out accessories etc after 6 months. Yeah its been longer than 6 months by my count but at least there seems to be some stuff in the pipeline.

You are very welcome Lori. So what type of accessories are people waiting for? I've never accessorized a car before so not sure what might be an option. I think I would tend for more subdued options. Would rather put my money into "under the hood" improvements when they become available. However, the reflective emblem decals keep floating around in the back of my mind as a possibility. Just wish they had better pictures of them in the daytime. I like the emroidered "in car" accessories but they are WAY over priced. I'll wait for aftermarket stuff that may be more reasonable or else find someone with one of those fancy computer controlled sewing machines that can embroider stuff I make myself.

If you find any 'real' pics of these installed on a Vibe floating around, post them up! I will do the same vice versa.Myself, this will be the first car I own that I will be entering the endeavour of 'under the hood' upgrades and modifications. I see a big market for the Vibe aftermarket so I can't wait to start!

I would love a "made for Vibe" TV/vcr, those window thingys that keep out the rain and a cooler. I also love the embroidered stuff but you are right, they are way overpriced!

accessories like headlight covers, clear taillights, ground effects kits, k&N air filters, a CAI kit, Ram Air Hood, supercharger, etc.... where are you seeing pics of reflective emblems, i'd like to see ANy pic... My girlfriends brother has a GTP with reflective emblems, but i've never seen them at night. the basically look like a speckled silver during the day.

Headlight covers were "cool" about 5 years ago but they are really no more than a good excuse for a cop to hassle you. I was pulled over in my Sunbird once. High noon in bright sunlight and the cop gave me crap about them.The window vents are nice in how the keep teh rain out and the interior cool but I just don't like the look of them on the outside.The only thing I bought so far was the trunk mat. I wanted to protect the floor and also use it to muffle some of the noise coming from the tools I have in the storage bins under the floor.

I am looking for the seat covers that fit like a glove made from water proof material.I have seen them on a few new cars(dealer add ons)and they are cool a bit pricy but worth it.

I can say Vibe Tail Gate Party, but can you tell me where the rest of the hatch went? It cuts off at the back window!

You would think they would use something better for a catalog! And, just what color is that Vibe anyway? Green, gold or what?

It is a really nice color. They should have used that one instead of Envy.

That would be nice to get a cover over the back that is solid rather than that vinyl cover that hangs down and you can't lay anything on top of. Does anyone know how to get that table or something that would go across the top of that?
