Like the blacked out grill(s) and Pontiac arrow , but not the lights , unless you don't drive at night. Your Vibe looks really good. Vibe's original grill was the best one.

Yea i agree with you on the lights. I like how it looks with everything else black though. I still need to wet sand them to give them that glossy look, so they will lighten up some. Also thinking of getting some brighter bulbs.

If you want to go with the blacked out headlights, just go with the AVS covers and don't do tint. The covers you can take off at night and they look awesome at shows. I had them on my Vibe and I loved 'em.

Well they are already tinted, but i tinted them darker than i wanted purposely. I still have to wet sand them to make them look finished and have a glossy shine to them which will also lighten them up. I didn't think they made covers for the vibe, i geuss i was looking in the wrong place. Would have saved me a lot of time (had to remove the front bumper to remove headlights), but i still really like it and will prolly like it more once i wet sand them. Thanks for the post! keep'em comin'.

if you are wanting brighter bulbs, maybe you should just get a set of projectors. Although not sure how baking the lamps would work with the tint on there though...

It probably wouldn't be a problem. I live in florida and we are getting into the hot and humid summer, so if i don't have a problem now it would prolly be ok. Thanks for the input!

Don't like blacked out headlights, just defines the word stupid if you drive at night.The grilles, look good but they should all be the same geometric shape.Dave

To say tinting your headlights black is illegal would be an understatement I lightened mine up so it's driveable at night, but it's still too dark IMOI'll be tinting them gold in the very near future me thinks

RK Sport FTW! Wish they still had the spoiler. I actually like the silver grilles on your ride.

I just noticed that you still have the sprayers on your hood....niceThey add a lil more spice to the black/red theme (which rocks btw)
