Just Joined the Club!

Post by stephan »

I just wanted to introduce myself as a new member. i joined genvibe.com a few weeks ago while researching Vibes as a second car for my wife and I. I finally found the car I was looking for. Man, its tough to find a 5 speed with some options! We just bought a used 2003 Vibe in Moonstone *edit - Shadow* with 30K miles on it. Its a 5 speed with the monotone package, alloy wheels, moon and tunes, and power package. The dealership even put brand new tires on it due to some highway shaking I noticed in the test drive. I'm glad there's a resource like this for Vibes on the web. It will definately help as I begin to tinker with some mods!Here's some pics from the dealer's website: Sweeeeet.

Congratulations on the new car. I bought a 2003 5 speed also, and it was hard to find a 5 speed at all, let alone one with options.For what it's worth, in the 2003 and 2004 model years, that color was called "Shadow", not moonstone. I think there is a minor difference in color, because Shadow and Moonstone have different paint codesThe very first thing you need to do with your new car is explained in these two threads:http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id ... id=22061Go read them, and then adjust your schedule accordingly.

Enjoy your Vibe!Hey well there is a way but you would have to put your license plate inside your car in the middle or on the passenger side you can just throw it up there or you can get those little suction cups (did I spell that right??) and put one on each corner and just pop it up on there it actually isnt that bad im planning on doing that pretty soon acctually but its just an idea. Some of my friends hove done it mostly racers and like too trucks because they got body kits for there trucks. Hopefully that helps laterz
