Aftermarket items for 2009 Vibe AWD

[thallanor]

This is sort of a "general" question but I felt this might be the best place to post it. I am new to the forums and have done a lot of searching to get up to speed, but I still might have missed a few things. In general, what I am looking at is for a general list or a general idea of what is available for the 2009 Vibe AWD. Forced induction, suspension, body kits, the works.The reason I am trying to compile a list is to have something to go to the dealership with. I do not yet own a Vibe, but am getting ready to order one through the dealership, but they are always looking for aftermarket accessories for the vehicles they sell, and if I can get them to bring them in and install them, they also cover the warranty for me, if installed prior to purchase. This saves me money if something breaks and has to be pulled and shipped off for repair. It also all goes on the final price, allowing me to finance the entire thing and drive off with a vehicle customized the way I like.So regarding items like superchargers -- in particular the TRD supercharger which I understand is discontinued -- are there any changes under the hood that would prevent them from being installed on the 2.4L? I have already started looking at wheels and tires, as in Canada, it does not appear we can get the AWD with anything -other- than the 16" steel rims with bolt-on covers. I can't wait for thetirerack.com to get images of the new Vibe online so I can visualize better.Anyway, sorry again if I'm overlapping some things here. I just think it would be neat to make a nice tidy post where we can compile 2009 mods.

Currently they do not offer anything for FI for the new 09 vibes. Actually, I don't think they offer any A.M. products besides what "extra's" you can get on the Pontiac website (floor mats, cargo nets etc)I'm assuming that they will offer a suspension or lowering springs at some point in time, but as with any new model (unless it's a Civic) it seems like the companies have to do a little R&D before they get the stuff available...

Darn. This is what was afraid of. I was just in denial! I might have to settle for aftermarket wheels and tires at the moment and maybe by the time it is paid off, there will be some more aftermarket options available.Thanks for the information, though. I was afraid my search-fu might have been failing me!

It took 6 weeks for my dealer to get me a cargo cover... they received it TODAY and I took possesion of my car on March 7th.

Dealing with dealers for parts can sometimes be a test of patience. In my other GM, the navigation system is flaking out and the dealership told me that it would take too long to bring in another one because they are so backordered. That was that. No offer to do it anyway. Thing that sucks is I've had a great experience with them in the past, apart from this one incident. I know the Vibe is a popular little thing though, and once the initial sales surge has eased off, it should be easier to get parts. When I first bought my Avalanche in 2002 it took months to receive any parts for it, but within a year, it was just two or three days to get anything.
