Well, I said I wasn't going to do much to the Vibe and I meant it. I am officially done with the modifications on it. I spent about six hours detailing it inside and out today, so I decided to do a driveway photoshoot. I ended up taking about 50 pictures.Here are pictures of all the modifications:K&N Typhoon silver powder coated cold air intake with an AEM DryFlow air filterSylvania Silver Star bulbs (9145 & 9006 / 9005) in the fog & headlightsJust the headlightsHeadlights & fog lightsBrights35% tinted windows"PONTIAC VIBE GT" badges & dealer sticker removed & silver GenVibe stickerGM all weather floor & cargo matsCobra 10 band extra sensory detection radar/laser detector (hard wired)The rest of the pictures can be found on CarDomain.Thanks for looking.

Awesome pics! I just got my 09 GT tinted today and loved it!BTW, where and how much did u pay for the all weather floor mats?

I got my floor mats through my local dealer, but I had a 10% off accessories coupon from Pontiac so that brought the price from the dealer down significantly.For you, I would suggest getting them from GM Parts Direct. They have the best price on them. The part number is: #19170829.They are $128.00 + tax from the dealer.They are $112.75 ($93.18 + $19.57 shipping) from GM Parts Direct.

What is the black button next to the traction contol button? I have a 1.8L Vibe without fog lights. Was thinking of adding fog lights and using one of the 3 empty slots as an on/off fog light switch.

My dealer sucks and would never do anything like that .Quote, originally posted by cbctours »What is the black button next to the traction contol button? I have a 1.8L Vibe without fog lights.

There is a light behind it that lights up when the alarm is armed.

I was wondering what that was...

First, there's not much made for it, second, it's fine the way it is (which is why I got it) and third, I learned my lesson with my Sunfires. I dumped a ton of $ into them and got nothing in return. I like my $ in my bank account where I can watch it grow instead of pissing it away on a car.

I am officially done with the modifications on it. and yet you contacted me about a new mod. xD. just kidding you. nice looking vibe. seeing as how you hardwired the radar in it seems like you are competent with wiring, care to take a few shots under the steering wheel? i'd like to see if maybe the DRL module is the same so you can do it too.

The DRL module is actually on the opposite side of the older Vibes. It's behind the glovebox, but easily accessible. I could do this myself because it's just snipping a wire, but as far as doing the independent fog lights, you need to connect the wires straight to the battery and wire them to a new switch. Lowincash did it on his '09 GT, if it would be easier for you, I could get directions for how to do it from him. I'm totally useless when it comes to wiring. Hard wiring the radar detector was easy. I simply got a kit off eBay and connected one end to a screw under the dash and than put the other end (a fuse tap) in with one of the fuses. With the independent fog lights, I would much rather have someone who knows what they're doing do it so I don't mess anything up .Oh, and I'm glad you got the message. I wasn't sure how that whole thing worked .

I would be concerned that the way this radar detector is wired would interfere with airbag deployment. Maybe if the wire were ran down the windshield side of the "A-Pilar"

I didn't like the re-designed look at first either, but the more I drove through my local dealer checking out the GTs the more I liked the looks of them.

I I definitely recommend de-badging the hatch. IMO it looks so clean and it will confuse the hell out of people when they want to know what kind of vehicle it is . It also makes washing and waxing a whole lot easier which is a major plus in my book.
