Just recently purchased a 2009 2.4 AWD, love the car, well except for the center cap issue that I see a few people are also having. I came across the site when looking for help on the center cap issue. So far I've enjoyed the site a great deal.

Seeing your White AWD from Cochrahn brought back memories of when I purchased my 2003 White AWD from the Monroeville Cochrahn dealer. I don't live in PA anymore, but have a lot of good memories from PA, my homestate. By the way, very nice looking Vibe and congratulations.

_Brent_, where are you located now? I always liked dealing with Cochran, my brother in law was the service manager at the Quick-Serv, so I did not have to worry about being taken. Now however he no longer is so I have to decide if I am still going to go all the way out to Monroeville from Ambridge.

here is the hotel thread:http://matrixowners.com/index....70&hl=all the info you need is in the first postIt's shaping up to be our largest meet to date.. over 40 peopledon't worry about being a vibe... i own a vibe a few other members who own vibes are showing up. Most members don't even own a vibe or matrix anymore. it's more about the get together and talking and having fun than it is about the cars anymore

bummer..

I am considering doing a few mods to spruce it up. Maybe the bigger GT spoiler, the side molding, painted calipers, definitely a new horn, and the projector lamps in front. I am relatively certain I can get all these items if I wanted to, but with the exception of the lamps. Where is a good place to purchase these, and how difficult is it to install the new lamps. I liked the looks of the Angel Eyes that the guy on the Matrix side was selling but I am not sure where to actually get these. Any assistance would be great. Thanks.

keith is the guy to go to if you want to get those projectors for a great price =D but just a little warning, the 09 headlights are a major pain in the @$$ to open lol but you should definitely change the horn out first, the stock ones are embarassing haha nice car btw glad to see more 09's lately =D

I moved out to Honolulu in 2004. Bought my second Vibe just a few months ago.

Well thats quite a ways from here then One of these days we'll be moving on to a better climate too.

Well I've started the process of improving the Vibe, very slow and simple this one. I just simply purchased the front and rear arrowhead overlays from http://www.grafxwerks.com in pearl white, I considered getting the center cap overlays as well, but as I am missing three of the four, I can get them once they replace them and figure out a way to get them to stay put. The next purchase may be something just as simple, pin striping or something similar to accent the vehicle. Anybody have any simple ideas to get this started?

Sweet looking AWD, For me it was between the GT, and the AWD.... Well I work for a Pontiac, Buick, GMC dealer, and I saw my Red Hot GT, and is came in on the transport truck, I was sold right there... lol...

They are all good looking vehicles, I just got too good a deal on this one to turn it down.

Just added the new Pearl White Arrowhead overlays. I think it makes a big difference.
