mods to a 09 vibe gt

Post by sdsu21 »

Hey fella, just picked up the 09 model vibe gt and I wanted to murder it out (blackout tail/headlight, solid black grill piece) ..

Anyone know of some good web sites to find some products I have google searched my (removed) off and it seems that I can't find much for my car. Also is the chassis any different on the gt opposed to the regular vibe? I want to make sure if I bought new lights they would fit...

Thanks

The GT has an IRS while the base Vibes have a beam rear axle if you are looking for suspension items. But the lights and such are the same. As for mods, there is not a lot readily available for the 09-10 cars. Most likely you may have to do mods on your own.

Welcome and good luck with your car. Post up some pics when you can!

Hi and welcome to GenVibe :D . Just as trb mentioned, there are very few aftermarket items available for our generation Vibes :x . This then forces us to perform our own mods :) which I thoroughly enjoy doing ........... in my spare time when I get some :roll: Update your profile with "location" so we know where you're from. Also visit my cardomain page (middle icon under my avatar) which shows the few mods that I've done so far. I have Sooooooo many on the drawing board and hopefully I can complete some of them over the winter. Again ..................... Welcome ;)

I haven't done any mods, unless you count the tint and hardwired radar detector.

J_TO_ENVY's Vibe is awesome. Her's is probably my favorite. She mods her Vibe in a very tasteful way. :)

Do you mind telling me your age?

Why do you want to murder your new car? What, it doesn't like you?
