Car Newbie
Hey guys, I want to start improving my vibe little by little. I am going to start with cosmetics like tint, interior trimmings, and wheels until I learn more about performance parts. A friend of mine suggested an air intake, a grounding kit, and a better battery.So my question is... Are all of these things generally a good idea?

Better battery for sure. If you are still using the OEM battery, it is just a matter of time. The batteries were underpowered to begin with.

When you say "grounding kit" do you mean one of those straps that hangs on the ground in order to try to avoid static electricity?Or lowering springs to lower the ride height?

Re: (Kincaid)
I mean the thing that attaches to the battery and connects to different parts of the frame to help ground the electrical system.
