I'm totally confused...I have the front guards p/n 12498056 and rear guards p/n 12498057installed on my '04 Vibe. Bought 'em back in March from GMPartsDirect.Com.
When I went to that site and looked for accessories for a 2004 the only splash guards listed were "Rear Set, Gray Grained Finish".When I look under 2003 both front and rears are listed.Do the front ones fit OK?
Are you sure? The GM parts person I dealt with ordered the 03 front moulded mud guards, but the bolt holes don't line up (I have a 04 Monotone GT). Rear ones are available and only come in grey. I ordered a set 2 weeks ago.

All the bolt holes line up ok.
the front mudflaps don't fit the 2004 2-tone model year vibes due to the new lower side moldings. the monotones are unchanged and we still have to suffer the rock chips in our paint.

After reading all these posts about what will happen to my paint (Vibe is a week old!) I wish GM would start shipping these things ASAP. Spoke to another dealer today and they said probably June.
