Post by LaPlanteys2010vibe »

Hi everybody, I'm looking for a 2010 pontiac vibe grill. Does anybody know where I could find this without going to the dealer? Thanks in advance! Jason][/URL]

Try eBay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors....m245 It's for a complete replacement, but better than nothing.

It looks like the site hosting your images does not allow direct linking or something?It appears as though it should work, but for some reason does not. Even adding .jpg to the end of the url doesn't take you directly to the image, it still takes you to a page with the image on it.If I was you I'd try using Photobucket.

Thanks, looks like I may have to go that route. Most parts suppliers don't offer 2010 parts yet, but I think everything is pretty much the same as 2009.

Does this make any sense to you?That grille does look pretty cheap. The part from a GM dealer is not going to be cheap.As far as pictures, there are two ways to do them. I usually just use the HTML code to put pictures in posts, or you can use the image button and place the address of the picture in there. Either way, it is easier to have a hosting site for your pictures. I use http://www.photobucket.com p.s. Welcome to the madness of genvibe!

The only differences are relating to available options and colors.
