Just purchased an '09 metallic red vibe gt - jax, fl

Post by fechjax »

Hi all, I just bought an '09 metallic red vibe gt as my daily driver and so far I love it! I've been keeping it in the pontiac family as my first car was an '01 grand am gt, then traded up to an '05 pontiac gto that i heavily modified which i still use as a weekend car and now I have the '09 vibe gt that i just purchased with only 21,000 miles. Any suggestions on what the first mods I should add on my new baby are very much welcome, I do want to upgrade the radio and maybe add some 10s or 12s in the near future so any suggestions would be great, thanks everyone!

welcome! LOL. I skimmed over your last sentence about 10s and 12s and thought, you bought the wrong car to get into that at the drag strip! Then realized you were talking about a stereo!

LED mods are my specialty (so far anyways) so maybe somewhere down the road I can hook you up with a few. Only one mod is actually in production (see my avatar) all others are on the drawing board and soon to hit production (in my spare time ). Again WELCOME
