It's time for resolutions, and while we all have personal resolutions, what are your goals for your Vibe in 2012?Mine are:1. Get the windshield replaced (found another chip...)2. Install a CAI3. Finally track down and fix my P0420These are my realistic goals. I'd like to do more fun stuff but the necessities take priority.
1- Install the sound system! This one shouldn't be so hard, as I have all the parts now.. just need to find the time.2- Window tint, come summertime.3- Larger wheels, budget permitting.4- Fix a few nasty rock chips before they start to rust.
1. use my new trailer hitch/hitch mounted bike rack like someone is trying to take it from me2. when the weather is warm, give it a thorough clay bar/waxing
Pay the friggin thing off !!!! I dont want to put any money into it until it is truly mine & title in hand. Cannot wait !

1) Autocross2) Get to a meet somewhere3) Rims or tint 3b) If no rims, paint current curb-rashed ones (prev. owner, only two of mine are decent)4) Get my lowering springs installed!
My resolutions will be pretty easily attained for both Vibes (in no particular order)...1. Finish our future mods - TRD oil cap with blacked out decal, Optima Red Top battery, Toyota chrome wheel locks for the 18s and Sylvania SilverStar zXe bulbs in the low and high beams.2. Clean the Vibes more often because they look so much sexier when they're all nice and clean !

OK .... here's mine:1. (removed) warmers ... AKA heated seats (after I succeed in installing them into juniors Vibe GT2. LED drivers & passenger side mirrors. These will include: park/running indicators, sequential turn/hazzard indicators, brake lights & puddle lamps. White, amber & red will be the colors involved. All this attached to the bottom of the stock mirrors.3. modify/lower overhead storage compartment in the 09-10 Vibes with sunroof. This will be rather easy and then maybe a pair of my sunglasses will actually fit up there 4. LED dome lighting to fit above mod.5. Door panel LED "soft lighting". Ever need to see a switch on the door panel when driving at night and you lucky to be able to see the "auto" button to one of the power windows Anyways I plan on installing very low lit led's to shine onto the complete area of switches. This way you'll be able to see them and hit the correct button immediately66. GT models only. Side "GT" indicator where the fake black plastic grille is currently located on the rocker panel near the rear tire. It will be illuminated (more LED's of course) in park/running mode AND flash when turning that direction.7. GT models only. Front WHITE additional running lights in the front bumper of the GT. To fit int he fake vent port on each end of the bumper.8. Gt models only. Additional amber park & turn lighting to go into the very bottom vents in the GT bumper9. Complete new tail light assembly. YEP I'm getting rid of the stock "ricer looking" Vibe tail lights. This will be rather involved and may have to wait till 2013.10 & beyond .............................. Stay tuned. What is listed may noit all get accomplished so I'm sure there will be some change of plans
1. LOWERED!!!!!2. Lighting inside for ambiance.3. Headrest Video to match the dash video.4. Header and complete exhaust.5. Pulley.6. Sway bars on front and back.7. Replace floor mats and seat covers (mats need to be OEM for proper fit and grommet placement).8. Genvibe and various other stickers to show my pride in my vibe.

1) Get out of debt, aka not spend more money on the Vibe besides gas, maintenance, and car washes so we can put it towards various credit cards and loans (including the loans on this car).2) Take it on another road trip, we tend to do one per year (so far it's been Atlanta, GA and Washington D.C.)3) Only disregard #1 in order to get a wheelskin because my steering wheel cover is annoying me and my husband

1.) Tint. Must have tint.2.) Full nose cover. Every year they increase the size of sand grains on the roads for winter grip. If this trend keeps up, we'll be bouldering down the roadways around here pretty soon! 3.) Tint. Did I mention tint?

1. Replacing belt tensioner2. Replacing belt3. Attending to ticking sound in HVAC blower that has been bugging me for 3 years.4. Plasti-dipping (red) and relocating my Vibe badges. I've been de-badged for two years, but I kind of miss them. I love where new vehicles have badges in bottom corner of the doors, like the RS appearance package badge on the Cruze, or the VTEC sticker on the Civic Si:
1) Put on upper spoiler... before CAMOGIRL calls me out again 2) Paint calipers3) SRI 4) Tint tails5) Back seat covers to match front wet okolesAll I can think of for now
For sure this year:- Remote Start (got one for Xmas)- 'Glass box for my Alpine Type S 10"What I'd like:- Alloy Rims- Window Tint- Power Windows --- Already have 3 of the window motors & switches, just have to decide if I want to go that route or get an aftermarket kitThe G6 is paid off this year, so it is feasible that I can get it all done....

Mine are fairly simple:1 - Pay it off!!! Only a few more months ago; I really can't wait!2 - I had the same P0420...just took it to the shop earlier this week, replacing the O2 sensors. Check engine light is now gone, and hopefully it stays put. Interestingly the Vibe seems to idle a bit better than it did when the CEL was on (much like it did before that pesky light popped on!).3 - I'm thinking about upgrading the sound system (at least the HUD), especially since I would like an SD card slot, USB port, and/or a real auxiliary port for my music. I currently use an FM Transmitter which has been less than desirable.4 - I guess transmission fluid replacement and new spark plugs would be good too.5 - Perhaps I'll finally put on that Sonic the Hedgehog Decal I got two summers ago
