Haha some people just don't get it. My parents keep nagging me about doing stuff to my car. My mom said I spend too much time worrying about my car and not enough time studying. I told her I'm sorry for having a hobby, and then guilted her about trying to take away my fun.

I also re-wired the lights in my subwoofer box. I had, err, problems with them last time But I found a good way to wire them now, so I am again fire free.Oh and sorry for the crappy quality...Lights.Switch.More pictures below.

Do you mean the chrome part, or the lense?I'm undecided on painting the chrome...I'm sure someone else will get their projectors installed before me, so I'll see what the difference looks like with it painted and unpainted. Do you think I should?If you meant the lense, no I won't paint that, it's illegal in my area although I think tinted headlights or covers would be awesome on a black vibe.

I would say for the black car, so it blends better to make it gloss black.. but i plan on making mine flat.

Okay so I am officially done tampering with the lights in the subs...nothing worse than smelling burning on the highway...I just can't figure out the wiring for it, I just can't! This time the control piece for the lights started getting very hot, so I permanently turned the damn thing off. Frig.

I've finally got around to posting up my pictures (even though I've been doing absolutely nothing lately). A few mods have been done since the last update.Cosmo Racing cold air intake installed.Retrofit projectors.Ballasts for projectors.Non-winter shot of tinted tails.The switch on top of the battery is my temporary ghetto switch for the angel eyes. I still have to figure out where I want to put the switch in the cabin.

And I didn't because it was a combination of being afraid to screw up, and not really understanding the point of it. I mean I know it stops the flicker, but I don't even notice a flicker.

amtron- four neons on the right passenger side under the dash, where did you put them, on my vibe the engine control thing-a-ma-jig is there and so it is interferring with putting leds or neons there, the drivers side is easy because there is a lip that could easily hide them and a large expanse of space. If possible could you put pics as well?

If possible could you put pics as well?Yeah I can try and get some pics up for you, but basically I ziptied them to some wires up by the steering column. I just put some padding on top of the neon tubes right where it could potentially hit the steering column and break.

Quote, originally posted by A Psycho Martyr »Hey Amtron....you still on GenVibe?Yeah I pop in now and then, haven't commented lately. I've been meaning to post up a F/S thread (and will soon), but in the mean time, I have the following for sale:- Cosmo CAI- Vibrant Strut Bar- MOMO Automatic transmission petal coversI've had a few people ask to buy the STB back in the day when I was on all the time, but the PM's have since been deleted....so it's up for grabs again to whomever! I think Vibrant has discontinued these? I'm excited to sell this off, I know someone is gonna love it. $75? + shippingI can probably work out a deal with the CAI...it's got some dings in a few places and you'll be needing a new cone filter. PM me, reply in thread, or email.matt.desjarlais@hotmail.comI would prefer to keep it local...hope someone from Ottawa jumps on this quick!
