Hello New Vibe Owner

Post by Vague Nameless »

I just bought a 09 Vibe GT. I was just curious if anyone new of any good sites to find performance parts, just minor upgrades, suspension, exhaust intake, nothing serious.Also, when looking for parts, are motor and suspension parts the same as the Matrix? Will TRD do the trick?

Congratulations and welcome! Let me be the first to say you had better post pictures before the angry mob comes calling . Search through the forums here and you will find all the information you need on modifications, or lack there of (unfortunately there isn't too much available for the '09-'10s). A great place to start is the K&N Typhoon intake. I recommend using an AEM Dry Flow air filter instead of the K&N one though. Some people have had issues with the K&N oiled filter causing problems with sensors and such.Check out my Car Domain page for more ideas.
