Hi everyone,I'm finally a proud owner of 03 Vibe GT with two tone Lava Red paint. I've been checking them out for over a year now but last year my now ex-wife wanted a Mazda Protege 5 instead, so we got that since she was the main driver. So now I decided to change my old car for this Vibe, it's a little older than what I wanted but I also kept the house so I need to keep the payments low But at least I have some left over money to get the minor mods I want to make to it like tinted windows, hitch to carry around the 4 wheeler and a few others to be determined after that.Anyway I'm from the south shore of Montreal, QC, Canada and saw that other fellow Vibe owners are near me so I decided to introduce myself.Thanks for the forums and all the info I could find to help me decide on my choice.
Welcoem to GenVibe! Congrats on your purchase. You picked the best year and model of the Vibe. '03 GT's have the most HP of all the Vibes including hte '09's. Looks nice and clean.

I was just in Chateauguay looking at homes where from the South Shore are you from?BTW nice car I live in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu (L'Acadie sector), bought the car in Valleyfeild and celebrated the buy at the Pizza Hut in Chateauguay on my way back with my daughter.Looked at your car page, looks real good!Quote, originally posted by bull77 »welcome -- i want your headlights Actually they look nice in the picture but they are pitted a bit, I'll need to sand those down and polish them, but that will probably wait until next summer. I also need to change the fog lights because both have broken lenses. EDITED: Found out how you guys put the picture in the thread without using a hosting site.

You picked the Vibe color there is! How did you get your cladding do dark? Get your fog lights from ebay. Much cheaper than the dealer.
