new member my first vibe

Post by silverbullet »

hey guys so i am new to the vibe but it did not take me long to fall in love with it. picked it up from a friend when my old neon finally died. this is actually my first non Chrysler vehicle. the previous owner has a good start on some nice mods let me know what you guys think... here she is my 03 vibe [IMG][IMG][/IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] magnaflow catback system. amp and speakers have been upgraded.ok everything so far is the way i got the car aside from starting to replace some fluids with fresh stuff, in the process now of the transmission drain fill drain fill... here are the couple thing i have done to the car in the few weeks i have had it. first thing was the horn. i got a low tone horn from autozone for about twenty bucks that has a little nicer sound. this last one is sort of an ongoing project as i broke a piece for one side during the install. waiting for a new one to be shipped for completion. but you can see one side is done. fifty bucks on ebay listed for the matrix. i would recommend this to anyone but advise dont overtighten and break things as i did. i also have a set of the factory wheels with winter tires that i will be having to use soon. many more things i want to do in the future, all in due time. what does everyone think of her so far?

Welcome to GenVibe! Thanks for all the pics!I see you already have a short-ram intake too. That and the cat-back Magnaflow give a nice sound and a modest power increase.

I'll be on the look-out for those aftermarket rims to pick you out on 75! you wont see those wheels out this time of year, i have the factory wheels on now. alluminum wheels i think? not like the steel style with caps. i would like to get them powdercoated black before they go on again i just love that look with the silver. the current finish on them is flaking off pretty bad so mabye that will be my reasoning with the wife. ha ha
