Welcome to GenVibe! Hold off on intake, header or exhaust until you decide it you are going S/C or Turbo. S/C - Can stay stock or get any intake, any header & 2-1/4" exhaust.($2000+/-)Turbo - Must have a custom intake, custom header and a 2-1/2 to 3" exhaust($5000+/-)

Welcome to the site.Give it some tint on those windows.

[mastamatt16]

thnx! so far i really like it, im about to go take some pics of the interior maybe you guys can help? and yeah i just realized how untinted my windows were lol so ill deff be doing thatand what about rims? any suggestions?and i think ill save up for the turbo cause it sounds cooler for the manual transmission

[coldmm803]

welcome to the boardi agree with tint, after that depends on how much money you have when u cant fight the urge for new parts

Take that money and put it towards your turbo setup. Good Luck!

Welcome to the site fellow Floridian...The first thing I did was replace the carpet Floor Mats with the Rubber ones.The next Pipe Dream i have is to replace the stock head unit with a DVD/Navigation system. I myself do alot of traveling and would like to make that area a little more useful and streamlined with my Sirius Radio as well....Thats just me though....

WelcomeFirst thing I would do is take the car back to whom ever you bought it from and tell them I don't want this car with out power windows and locks. other than that tint the windows and don't even bother trying to clean the floor mats. They appear to be shot and even the wrong color for your car, get new ones

welcome.... very nice ride... get some tint

[mastamatt16]

ok some heres a little update on the vibeive been thinking about the rims and i want black but not completely black so that they would be sort of eye catchy so i really like those, and if anyone has an idea of some rims other then those put a pic up so i can seealso as most of you said tint would be good so yeah im going with 20% tint all aroundim gonna wait till after i put the rims on it to decide on lowering it and how much and stuffi decided on the turbo, but im saving up the money and first taking care of the little things before i think if the more expensive engine partsso yeah any more suggestions??

[NascarXprt]

hey welcome to genvibe, arent you also over on the Vibe/Matrix Group on Myspace? but anyway the rims would look nice on the vibe and with the eibach drop.loooks oh so nice. gl

[mastamatt16]

Snow in Palm Coast? (removed)? Surely you were out of town for the holidays in that pic. I live in the official snow capitol of Florida but we never see that much and we are 300 miles north of you.

Nice looking ride! Be careful with the window tint. In Florida the legal limit for front windows is 28% and rear is 15%. That generally means even lighter in the front as they don't make a 28. $75 ticket if you get caught, and they are very sensitive about this issue.I like the rims you posted. They are different than most and should look good. Be sure to get some quality tires to put on them.

[mastamatt16]

ha yeah weve been up at my grandpas in south carolina for the winter and it snowed and it looked pretty kool but yeah ill watch the tint too i got a question too, ive been doing some reasearch on turbos agains superchargers and the effects and turbos give a delay, i dont really like that but somone told me there cheeper? does anyone know about the xact price for a supercharger?and im really considering getting the rims but i have no idea about the type of tires that are good for the vibewhat do you guys think?

[mastamatt16]

me and my cousin (also has a vibe) hooked up today at his house, took some picsneed to get my rims BAD

[808 Vibes]

Very nice!!! Though I'd peel the dealer sticker off. Unless they gave me an unbefreakinlievable deal...

[mastamatt16]
