the only reason it stays like that is because it has such bad paint anyways (chips all over the hood and scuffs on the rocker panels) that the mud hides it and lets face it, who doesnt like to have mud all over their station wagon occasionally

ajflan · Post by **ajflan** » Tue Sep 04, 2007 1:01 pm

Haha yeah. Up close my hood is a showcase of my touch up paint skills.

wyatt89 · Post by **wyatt89** » Tue Sep 04, 2007 1:04 pm

no joke mine is too, buuuuuut, autozone gave me the wrong paint when i told them to look it up so i have slightly darker circles all over the front edge of my hood. i ordered some factory stuff from gm though, it should be here soon, that wont be quite as bad

ajflan · Post by **ajflan** » Tue Sep 04, 2007 1:05 pm

It still won't be perfect, but it will be pretty close.

wyatt89 · Post by **wyatt89** » Tue Sep 04, 2007 1:10 pm

yah, ive been trying to convince my dad that my car is going to rust up here since the paint is soo bad. i really want it like a bmw laguna seca blue with lots of metal flake in it :Dhttp://www.the510realm.com/gal...3.jpgthat would be beautiful but its also wishful thinking

ajflan · Post by **ajflan** » Tue Sep 04, 2007 1:25 pm

Yeah that would be a lot of $$$.

wyatt89 · Post by **wyatt89** » Tue Sep 04, 2007 1:27 pm

yah at least for quality work

ajflan · Post by **ajflan** » Tue Sep 04, 2007 1:29 pm

I always thought about having my car painted black, but I think it would be too expensive for me.

wyatt89 · Post by **wyatt89** » Tue Sep 04, 2007 1:33 pm

why? it looks friggin badarse! i wish mine looked like yours

ajflan · Post by **ajflan** » Tue Sep 04, 2007 1:36 pm

Thats why I haven't done it. I think I just get bored with what I have very quickly.

andrewdude, how do you keep it so clean? was it easy to remove/paint the engine cover?looks badass. nice job!!!

ajflan · Post by **ajflan** » Fri Nov 23, 2007 3:29 am

I found the engine cover really easy to paint. I originally had it red, but when I went to repaint it, one of the plastic clips broke off in the valve cover. I have replacements, but I haven't done anything about it yet and it has been about a year. Oh well, you don't really need them anyway. As to keeping it clean, you should see it now. It is filthy and has steel wheels on. It looks like crap. And yesterday, my mom hit it when she was backing out of the driveway!! As of now, she has hit every vehicle I or any one else has had parked in the driveway. Now my driverside front fender and wheel arch is scratched. Luckilly, nothing was dented, but it will take a lot of rubbing compound and wax to get it to look ok.

Love the car man great pics!!

ajflan · Post by **ajflan** » Sat Nov 24, 2007 2:36 am

After further examination it is dented as well as all scratched up.

dude, from what i can tell this stuff is awesome!!i cant see the pics because im at work and they are blocked but i will look later..i really want to customize my vibe! i just bought a 2004 silver model, and it only has 79,000 miles on it.. its amazing but i have been wanting to do stuff like this to it..i am totally open to suggestions and referencesthanks

ajflan · Post by **ajflan** » Wed Mar 05, 2008 8:06 am

If you ever need any help with the car or anything just pm me and I'd be glad to help. What do you have in mind to start with?

shawnothaninja · Post by **shawnothaninja** » Wed Mar 05, 2008 8:25 am

thanks!well, i was gonna go for a nice bodykit, but right now i don't have the budget for it... but i am saving up for that.. i think im gonna get black overlays for the pontiac arrows and lettering to start with. that'll be the cheapest part. I also want to get new wheels, and do some serious enhancement to the audio system... the default cd player and speakers are kinda mediocre right noww..so those are some of my thoughts.. any ideas?

ajflan · Post by **ajflan** » Wed Mar 05, 2008 11:05 am

Those are good. Unfortunatley, there are only two options for bodykits, the street graffiti ang GM kit. The GM kit is no longer made, however I was lucky enough to snag one off ebay, which I will install this spring.

ajflan · Post by **ajflan** » Mon May 12, 2008 1:15 am

1st post updated. Nothing special, if you read my post about the GM kit then you already know.

ajflan · Post by **ajflan** » Mon Jun 09, 2008 7:16 am

Thought I would share some pics my friend and I took a while ago. Also, my aerogear/ street graffiti/ whatever you want to call them roof rack caps are in the shop getting painted. Woo-hoo! Just thought I'd let you guys know whats going down on my side of town. Enjoy!

WaveAction · Post by **WaveAction** » Mon Jun 09, 2008 7:21 am

ajflan · Post by **ajflan** » Mon Jun 09, 2008 7:24 am

Haha thanks! I got bored and was playing around with Picasa and junk.

WaveAction · Post by **WaveAction** » Mon Jun 09, 2008 7:33 am

ajflan · Post by **ajflan** » Mon Jun 09, 2008 7:49 am

ajflan · Post by **ajflan** » Mon Jun 09, 2008 7:50 am

bull77 · Post by **bull77** » Wed Nov 19, 2008 2:40 am

still love the look of your vibe --- couple questions...the pics on page 1/3 --- is that with the redouts applied. just asking b/c they still look orange, but maybe its the pic. did you have your uni/exhaust before the dc header or did you install it first? gains?

ajflan · Post by **ajflan** » Wed Nov 19, 2008 3:05 am

All pics of my car are without the redouts. I have not yet posted a pic with them on. They look awesome though. Me and my friend spent about an hour on each one to make sure they were perfect. I installed my header after the exhaust, but before the unichip. As for gains, there was not much really. I noticed a slight difference but nothing really to write home about. Everything put together has net me a decent gain that I can feel, but it definitely takes all of the mods to get there.

bull77 · Post by **bull77** » Wed Nov 19, 2008 3:46 am

good to know --- i'm ordering the redouts for xmas but won't get them installed till the spring....

ajflan · Post by **ajflan** » Wed Nov 19, 2008 3:58 am

They are a bit of a pain to install properly. I had to trim mine to get them perfect as well. I will try to get a couple pics up for you soon.

Amtron · Post by **Amtron** » Sun Dec 07, 2008 3:16 am

First off, I want to say you have my favourite Vibe on the site Secondly, how hard was the kit to install, and I don't know how much snow you get there in the winter, but is it an issue?

smeadows7 · Post by **smeadows7** » Wed Aug 12, 2009 1:03 pm

Your Vibe is very well done man. I am jealous.

ajflan · Post by **ajflan** » Thu Aug 13, 2009 3:27 am

Thanks! I should really post some more pics of the things I have changed. The exterior is all the same as in my sig, but I have some new additions to the interior and I repainted some stuff under the hood. I'll post some within the next day or so.

Kamikaze · Post by **Kamikaze** » Thu Aug 13, 2009 4:02 am

I just realized I don't have any posts in your garage... what kind of fellow viber am I??? Ever since you got that body kit every time I looked at your vibe I was like, dang.. I should have gotten that kit... Always liked the way your vibe looked... now I'm the copycat.

Amtron · Post by **Amtron** » Fri Oct 16, 2009 3:21 am

Your list of mods says "new" Magnaflow cat-back, what did you have before that?

ajflan · Post by **ajflan** » Fri Oct 16, 2009 1:24 pm

Well it's not so new now I guess lol. I used to have a custom Borla axle back system.

houseofbugs · Post by **houseofbugs** » Sat Feb 13, 2010 3:10 am

Love the ride! Super clean and sexy. What are the gauges for?

ajflan · Post by **ajflan** » Sun Feb 14, 2010 11:10 am

Oil pressure and A/F ratio... which means they are just for show lol.
