Hi! I am going to mod my Vibe this weekend. I want to put spinners and a spoiler and maybe some graphics. Good idea? or no...? I can't get to my home computer right now, but I will have some pics of the "Psychotic Vibe" up very soon. And my apologies for being 13.... no they do not let kids drive in MA.... shhh!!!! BTW, do you like the Vibe or Matrix better? Let me know.

I'd expect some people to tell you that spinners and stickers will look poor, but it's your car, you get to do whatever you want to it. Most of us here bought Vibes, so I think it's a safe assumption that the general feeling is we like Vbes better. But the two are so similar, it's a fine line picking between the two, both are great and both are welcomed here.

So how did you end up with a car some 3 years before you are allowed to drive it? Just curious.

Hey!there are spoilers availble that replicate the GM ones, which i think look good. One is on top of the hatch and one goes on the mid gate.As for spinners - thats personal choice, I think with the people here most will say its a bad idea.

It was an early bday present (I'll be 14 on Aug. 17) and my parents were sick of hearing me obsess about my friend Shane's Vibe, "Phil", so they were like, "what the heck, let's get her one to shut her up" BTW, my whole family is car people. My cousin got her Grand Am when she was 12!

are you able to drive the vibe at 13yo? or is it just waiting for you till you get your license few years later? just curious =P maybe by the time you're able to drive leagally there will be a newer vibe lolas for spinners...are you looking at the ones that are on the rims like they show on cribs...or the hub cap spinners? but i don't know...spinners on a vibe is a little too bling eh?

Quote, originally posted by voltz35 Â»BTW, do you like the Vibe or Matrix better? Let me know.Pontiac Vibe is manufactured @ NUMMI in California and the Toyota Matrix @ Cambridge, Ontario which is in Canada.The external sheet metal of the vehicles are unique to Pontiac and Toyota, yet the interior of the two vehicles is nearly identical. There may be some variations on the new models between the HVAC Controls like earlier models and some different options available again unique to Pontiac and Toyota.When it comes to the mechanics of the vehicle, they are nearly identical. If you were to purchase a Toyota Matrix FWD Automatic 2.4 litre it would have the same engine, transmission, coolant system, wheel bearings, brakes, exhaust, CV Joints, and etc of a Pontiac Vibe FWD Automaic 2.4 litre.What it comes down to is preference of styling and brand loyalty. The biggest difference between the Toyota Matrix and the Pontiac Vibe besides the exterior is the resale value. The Toyota Matrix tends to have a better resale value than the Pontiac Vibe even though they are the same vehicle.

A good idea is a financial investment like a 529.

don't forget, for each NOS sticker you gain 5HP. and don't forget to be like the mustang owners and add GT stickers and decals even though you don't have any of the parts installed.

Welcome to the forums. You have me beat, I got mine at the age of 15 I h ate spinners on ANY kind of car. If I saw anyone else put spinners on a Vibe I think I might have to sign myself into a mental ward because I wouldn't be able to trust myself (for everyone elses' safety) lol.

Mariachi · Post by **Mariachi** » Thu Aug 07, 2008 3:07 pm

lol @ hub cap spinners. Don't do the spinners. I have grafix and mine came out really good. They are actually to advertise my car club though. The team has been very strong and i have gotten lots of compliments on the grafix. My sponsor is good. lol. As for my rims, my sponsor hooked it up really good wit them. anyways again DON'T DO SPINNERS!!!! Imma have to take a pic of this stupid idiot here in Mesa AZ that has a silver neon with all this stupid autozone chrome stuff with 20" spinners. it looks stupidly rediculous.
