That's awesome Melissa! My middle name is Melissa, so yet another thing we have in common ! We do have some hives on the property of the business I work for, but I have not been able to go see them ever . Just curious where you live? Are you a beekeeper for a large business or is it just a hobby?honeybehive wrote:@Vibenvy- My user name: honeybehive has a meaning.

Thank you for the pictures and info on the front strut bar.
I will have to take some pictures of the weathertech digitalfit floor mats and also the rear cargo one as well. Yes, it is true that weathertech only provides the rear cargo liner for the vibes without on the sun/sound package which includes the subwoofer.The cargo liner fits, there is just an extra piece of the rubber that goes up along the side, it does not block or interfere with the subwoofer itself. I will have to take pictures to show what the cargo liner currently looks like in the vibe. I will have to do some modifying of the liner itself to remove the extra rubber piece, and create an exact fit. If I can succeed and make it look right, I will post pictures once completed. For now, it serves its intended purpose as a cargo liner.
Stainless Steel Brake Lines I installed them on both the front & rear. - Yes, I believe they make braking more responsive and I am definitely glad to have them on my car. There is a noticeable difference in better braking capability. I will have to find the receipt of the Stainless steel brake lines and maybe attach a photo of the lines and post on the forum.
My 2.4 vibe is similar to the 2.4 vibe gt, with the exception of (leather trim seats, body molding - love the vibe gt side skirts, 18" wheels, oem strut bar etc...) Reading further into the forums I have seen that people prefer the 2.4 base vibe over the gt because they can not add a rear sway bar? Does your suspension have something different being you have the GT vs. the 2.4 base? Curious as to the differences with frame, suspension etc...

I hope we're all invited to comb over to your nectar of the woods to say hive sometime.
Don't worry; we swarm that we'll bee-hive.
OK, I won't drone on about this any longer. I'm such a sap.

I called Weathertech and they told me that they were not planning on doing a cargo liner to fit the vibes that have the oem subwoofer installed. Also, emailed weathertech to see if maybe I could get a better answer from someone higher up in rank within in the company. Same answer, they are not planning on making the liner to fit the vibes that have the oem subwoofer. However, I have hopes that since you live so close ( ) maybe you might be able to get them to make one. If they can and do, please let me know and I will sell mine to someone that has a base vibe without the oem subwoofer....thats if I do not try to modify the liner myself.vibenvy wrote:That's awesome Melissa!

You're very welcome for the info and pictures! That's why I'm here !
The cargo liner does fit pretty well. I actually live about an hour from WeatherTech. I should contact them and see if they'd be willing to make some cargo liners without that extra piece.
I am definitely curious to hear where you got the brake lines from. Now I want some !
Yeah, I was thinking that your Vibe is essentially a GT. Yes, you cannot add a rear anti-sway bar to the 2009-2010 GT or AWD because they both have IRS (Independent Rear Suspension), whereas the 1.8L and 2.4L Bases have torsion beam rear suspsension (I believe, someone please correct me if I'm wrong). Essentially, the GT and AWD already have a built in rear anti-sway bar I believe. This is one thing I definitely wish I could add to my GT, but I definitely couldn't live without the GT body parts and wheels, so I guess I'll stick with my GT !
Glad to see you posted a picture of your Vibe in the original post! You should start a Garage thread for it to show off any mods you've already done and any new mods you do in the future ! I look forward to seeing more progress, etc. from you!

You can count me in if they would actually consider running a small batch of cargo covers for those of us with the subwoofervibenvy wrote:I actually emailed WeatherTech once too and never even got a response. If I'm ever in the area, I will definitely stop in and see what they have to say. I was thinking maybe if we could enough people (say 10) to pre-order and pay for them, maybe they would make a few at least. It doesn't seem like it would take too much to simply remove that extra piece near the subwoofer...
Yes I definitely think that the K&N Intake does increase overall performance on my vibe. Looks better than the standard air box which is a bonusWhgVibe wrote:Honeybehiver...Did you notice an increase with performance or MPG with the K&N Cold intake? Ive been considering it but really have no experience using one. Thoughts?
