nice now you just need to get rid ofyour wheel gap or like everyone else says "Say No To Wheel Gap" and i also think the cars cladding would look cool painted black too.

How much of a pain is it to paint the cladding. And for that matter, drop the car. Ive heard it would only cost me about a couple hundred to drop it. Thanks, coming from you guys Ill take the advise and compliments. you guys have some sharp looking Vibes. I almost wish i didnt have the 2-tone sometimes.

And for that matter, drop the car. If you want it to look factory finished, be durable, and be a near identical (if not identical) color match, let a body shop paint the trim. It shouldn't cost more than a few hundred.Dropping is another story. It can be done youself, but I STRONGLY advise the use of a second person, and you shouldn't really attempt it yourself unless you've observed an install on your own, or done them before. It is easy to foul it up. And your suspension is NOT something you wanna foul up.

What I meant about leaving it open is the picture instead of it being an attachment.

I post my pics on my web page, then I go to that page. right click on that pic, hit properties, copy and paste it between the little picture icon button.

you have to have someplace host the pic. then you can put the pic in your sig. or you can do what others have done. post it on genvibe somewhere, then you take the URL info and input that between the [img] tags. in fact, attach the pic in your next post.
