Post by VibeForWinter »

Bought my Vibe last November as my "winter car" - but now that spring is here I am enjoying it too much, and have started the mods So far, the audio system has been replaced and I just got my Boyd Coddington Smoothe 2 wheels (17x8 with Yokohama 225-45-17 AVS ES100s). Next up will be the Hotchkis TVS kit Great forum y'all got here, looking forward to getting lots of great ideas and tech tips!

Thanks everyone!quote:Welcome. Another Michigander with good taste in Vehicle s! Sounds like a sweet vette you have there - do you post on corvetteforum.com at all? We generally have a number of local events happening throughout the summer - you should check 'em out.

I'm noticing a trend of Vibe/Vette owners, must be a "V" thing

'Bout time you got over here, slacker. Welcome, Bill - tough making the decision to spend mod money on the Vibe or the Vette, isn't it?

Once you start to mod........you will notice it's not really meant to be a "winter car"
