New... and looking for advice

[Tri_Vibe]

Looking for some advice on vibe enhancements. I'm not looking to break land speed records, more for entertainment. Long ride to work and to Triathlon events on the weekends. My vibe is a blank canvas needs an aftermarket touch.

Welcome to GenVibe fellow endurance athlete!Are you looking for a better ride, better handling, more power?

Welcome to GenVibe!Many of us just enjoy them the way they came from the factory.If you're looking for a bit of performance and change in sound, look into a Cold Air Induction kit, and a cat-back exhaust system, such as Magnaflow. If you want to go further, check out the 1ZZ guide to performance posted by BlueCrush.Lots of people, especially in sunnier, warmer climates go with window tint.There are always graphics and overlays.Check out the GenVibe Garage for some great ideas --> http://forums.genvibe.com/zeroforum?id=110

Welcome!for small suttle apperance mods yousould do tint, some Grafixwerks decals, Debaging the vibe emblems and rear Arrow head. And as for larger mods, Wheels and tires, either a suttle 1.5" drop with TRD springs, Tien H-tech, or eibachs or a bigger drop with Tein s-techs 2.2" drop, and strut bar, rear sway bar, top and rear spoiler, exhaust, Short Ram Intake or Cold Air Intake.those are the most common mods you find on other members rides. if ya want more ideas or how a mod would look on the car head over to the Genvibe Garage thread and look through the different threads.

Welcome!Are you looking for mods that enhance the driving experience (performance, handling, etc), enhance driver comfort (sound deadening, window tint, padding, seat covers, lumbar support, leather, etc), or enhance driver entertainment (sound system, interior paint/light, navigation, inputs, etc)? Or a little of all three? There are lots of ways to take it depending on what your goals are!

I've got nothing constructive to add...except for kudos to a fellow triathlete with a Vibe!I recently got mine so it's also still stock. I've got some projects planned and hope to put a bike mount in soon because my first tri this season is May 1st.

Welcome to GenVibe! What year is your Vibe? Trim? Color? FYI we like pictures around here *hint hint* .Everyone else has pretty much covered it, but in my opinion tinted windows, Sylvania SilverStar bulbs in the headlights and fog lights and a CAI/SRI are all must haves. Also, wheels and tires depending on what year/model Vibe you have. I am also a fan of de-badging. It looks much cleaner and sleeker and makes washing and waxing much easier.

Welcome to the site! If you have a long drive like I do then you would probably appreciate a radio upgrade (and sound dampening). Lot of members swear by Crutchfield.com for audio stuff.

Welcome to the club!!X2 for crutchfield. Of all the things on my vibe. The two things I don't think I could live without, besides my sunroof, would defanitly be tinted windows and upgraded sound system. Makes the ride more enjoyable.

Welcome to the absolute best Vibe site on the internet. Maybe the only one, so it's got to be the best, right?Put a picture of your Vibe up soon. A lot of good suggestions have been made. If and when you chose a new alloy wheel, wrap them with a premium tire that has a quiet ride. Vibes need a quiet road interface. It's one of the best ways to improve ride quality. What Tri bike do you use? I don't do triathlons, but I'm a confirmed roadie and usually ride a couple of long distance events each year. I wish I could mount the bike inside the Vibe without lowering or taking off the bike seat. Only reasonable vehicle I've found for that kind of duty would be an old plastic Saturn Vue. Hate to keep the bike outside the car in transit. It does go in on its side, so I bought a large rubber mat to keep it from sliding around and protect car and bike as well.

replace the wimpy horn, probably would come in handy with a long commute.. disable auto headlights, get tall center arm rest, if you don't already have one.okay no more suggestions until pics are posted..
