I don't like green enough to want this, but if it was black or red.... It has no miles on it, what's the point of having a sweet ride if it's not driven???I like the rims and front spoiler and the fact that it's not a slushbox! Interesting choice on the exhaust placement.Besides the NOS and CAI what other performance mods does it have (pistons, cam, crank, rods, sleeved, turbo???) All show no go???

this poor car has been floating around for years. Sadly they ruined it IMO with that baby puke green.

I think it's amazing... honestly... I love the trucker billet wheels, and the rear center exit exhaust.. It have to get painted before I would drive it, with the color.... I wonder where the batteries for that color go? It just glows... lol... It would look SICK, re-done in a flat black ,with lime green accents... (which would be the only way i'd rock that color) The interior leaves a lot to be desired, though I can see work was put into it... The color choice doesn't make any sense... I could have that fixed easily enough i'm sure... I like it, but not like it sets... I'm not that "flamboyant"

Its has some nice touches. I like the rear bumper-rivet /exhaust placement. The Green doesnt bother me reminds me of the Dodge/Plymouth from the 70s. I agree with Sub....all show and no go. I always lean towards having all the goodies with a stock look. Spend the $$$ where it counts.

That shift boot looks like it's just skin and wasn't even tanned.

...the ONLY thing that piqued my interest was how the front spoiler was "struted" to keep it from being ripped off.

I like it - normally that Kawasaki green isn't my favorite, but looks good on that car. I didn't care as much for the hood color/stripe or the seats/door panels.

I agree, badass but interrior uglier than out side green, I could deal with the green for cryin out...why would any one put tan inserts with a lime colored car?!?! That would deff. have to go, if mine throws a berring again I might pick it up if its still around. thanks 4 the link.

It's used like a lower lip, but it makes a sharp split in the air... The adjusters ar to allow you to move it downward, to aid in front down force... thought I don't know if the Vibe can actually go FAST enough to use it.. lol..

20's out back and 17's up front? that seems a little odd to me, I would have done 19/18 or 19's all around...but that's just me...I'm curious to know what was done for the rack removal, it looks super smooth, how I personally think the vibe should have looked, and then an optional rack could have been put on (like the matrix's)

The more you look at it, the more detail this guy put into it comes out.For instance, notice the engine cover has the Pontiac 'shield' cut out of it? The nacells of the instrument gauges are painted green also."V"ibe is the Pontiac logo all around.Took me a while to get the interior scheme: It's for 'contrast'. Brown suede with apple green is a fantastic contrast. Not sure if I like it, but I'm beginning to understand what was going on in his head for this bizarre combination.Is that a solid green or metallic? A close up of the front looks like metallic?I will try to contact owner and get him here on the forum.MSAGRO
