Project Satellite Suspense has hit a snag.Reinforcements have been called in and status is now on hold On a side note I think I dropped the F-bomb about 1,000 times last night.

Alright....Case # 8429.2 has been set to open status.GM Body kit front fascia doesn't fit on 06 Vibe. Rest of body kit does, but now I need to decide if worth painting and installing.Case # 8429.3 has been openedProject RK Sport Carbon Fiber Roof Rails is a go:Problem: they suck, they don't match up well, the 3M tape on the kit only makes partial contact in spots with the body of the car. The edges aren't tapered and smooth, so it looks a little raw on the edges.. I need to figure out how to make it sit more flush. All in all, I think I would have been better just keeping the roof rack.Case# 8429.1: Debadging was a success, also was the 1/2 coil cut on the springs. Car now sits level.Pictures to come when I figure out what I'm going to do with the Roof caps.

I'm sure I've seen a 05+ front end with that kit....

Can't wait to see pics. 8428.2: I thought I have seen an '05+ with the complete body kit as well... 8429.3: I haven't seen pics of those fitting very well on any vibes...

The edges of the extentions towards middle of the front bumper have an edge to them and I'd have to cut that out in order to "maybe" have the extentions fit where they are suppose to... Kind of hard to explain... Here's a picture of where I'm talking about on the bumpers: That, and I don't know if on the other side..(where the bumper cuves around to meet with the front of the front tire) is the same... I might have to scope out an older vibe in town and look at the front bumper closer....Circled in the pic below is my possible other problem area and what the vibe looks like right now (photoshop because I havn't take a picture of new stance (rear lowered 1 1/2 inches) and the debadge)

wow - your vibe looks clean...nice work and here's an 05 GT with the kit installed http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=28030

Awesome! Thanks Bull...I'll be putting the car up on the hoist this weekend and possibly installing the side skirts (even though I know they are a shade off) and might tackle the front extentions at the same time...Thanks for the comment I try to keep it as clean as possible, but then again, I pretty much ride my bike rain or shine and the Vibe sits in the garage.

CF roof rack installed tonight.. Mocked up the GM kit over the weekend and got everything to work, now I just need to figure out the paint ($$ to spend for it) so it might have to wait a while.Here's a pic I posted in my garage of what my Vibe currently looks like:
