my front arrowhead logo fell off

Post by daisyhubbs »

I am having a hard time finding a replacement logo for the front of my vibe. It looks pretty blank and lonely w/o the logo, since there's just a hole there now. any thoughts on the easiest way to order a new one? thx

Some people have been replacing theirs with cool things like this: http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=39011 or people have ordered emblem decals from http://www.GWDecals.com. If you type in 'Grafxwerks' in the search (on genvibe.com site) you should be able to see some pics of what people have bought.Good luck!

Theres no F-ing way it "fell off". I had removed mine purposely to paint body colour, and those things are on there solid with double sided foam tape, and they are recessed. You are full of crap.

You could try the wreckers or a dealer to see about a stock replacement. Don't mind people like this....Quote, originally posted by rareorange1 »Theres no F-ing way it "fell off".

Welcome!I have a few different decals from GWdecals.com and love them.Quote, originally posted by rareorange1 »Theres no F-ing way it "fell off".

This is no way to treat a new member. Sometimes weird things happen and it could fall off.I hope you find a good replacement.

If so, I would have the vehicle inspected by a certified dealer mechanic as it was in a car accident. A few things that I noticed that were missing from the vehicle were the front arrow head on the bumper, badges, and the battery tie down.Only reason why I am pointing this is out is because the battery was being held down by a industrial type zip tie. If such important things were being held down by such things, then what else would be wrong with the vehicle. If this is the vehicle you purchased and such things were not fixed, I could contact the seller ASAP!!!

There is no place on Genvibe for comments like that. Either shut up or get out.I agree with everyone except rareorange, take it back... did you get it from a dealer?

Remember MSAGRO's Black GT that was missing the front badge as I posted above and he purchased and then sold? Remember the battery was being held down by an industrial zip-tie? This would be an interesting situation for sure. As for rareorange, best is to just ignore him as that is the type of responses he generates.

You are full of crap.It doesn't matter if it fell off or it was ripped off. The point is that it is missing and she is looking for a replacement. Keep posting remarks like this and you will not last long on this site.PS: Looks like there is a good possibility that it might be MASGRO's black GT, based on the description...

Woah, I thought my ears were burning this week.Sorry to disapoint you ou.griz, but the woman I sold the car to lives in Salem, not Portland (65 miles south)I have been in contact with here since I sold the car, she's quite happy with it.You alluded that I sold her a dangerous car.. that's not cool.I had the vehicle inspected before I bought it, Everything checked out OK, I would not of sold it otherwise.Sure the tiedown was cheezy, and the lack of a Vibe emblem does NOT make a car dangerous.MSAGRO

I offered to replace it, but she said it was fine.I did give her my stock radio from my fusion vibe to replace the one in the GT... the GT's one was kinda funky looking with peeling black plastic on the knobs that many of that year had. I also gave her my crossbars that were in better shape and had all the mounting screws.She was happy with the purchase.
