Another Vibe in Europe!!!

[JoeVibe]

Hello Everyone! I'm a diehard Toyota fan, but was unable to purchase a Matrix through the Post Dealership here in Germany. I realized after some searching the Vibe is virtually the same as the Matrix, running off of the same 1ZZ-FE platform shared by the 7th Gen Celica and the Corolla family. I used to drive a 91 Celica with over 200,00 miles on it, and could not wait to get a new TRD-able car. My 2004 Base Neptune Vibe has finally found its way into my home, and has already done some travelling. my wife and I are in love with this car and cannot wait to get modding. So, without further ado, here's my Vibe on her first trip: Austria! I have a couple more pics on ym imagestation page, and plan to try to update often, with as many new items as my pay and family can afford! Can't wait for that supercharger! (wish it wasn't an Roots type, though)

Welcome to genvibe! Where are you stationed in Germany? My dad was in the Army and we used to live in Garmisch. Man, that place was great! You are lucky, most likely going to be taking your Vibe on the autobahn!

Welcome to genvibe and a good color choice!

I was finally able to get back on. here's the address to the 3 pics I have as of yet: http://www.imagestation.com/al...10981 I hope this works!Oh yeah, I would love to get together with other Vibe owners here in Europe. I'll be gone for the next month or so, but after I get back, it'll be on! Also, I'm looking into a set of Eiback ProKit Springs, INJEN CAI, Magnaflow Cat-Back, TRD Strut tower bar, Front and rear sway bars (undecided on brand), and perhaps instead of the CAI getting the SC. On the show side, I want to, like many of you, find a decent bodykit, perhaps a CF Reverse-Induction hood (God I Wish!), and some nice vinyl graphics. I'm fairly anti flames and gawdy Fast and Furious-esqe graphics, and would much prefer solid graphics with some meaning instead of just random stripes and squiggles. On that topic, has anyone heard anything from Bat about vibe overlays yet??? Somebody in California seriously needs to donate their vibe to him for a week or so to get the ball rolling. Does anyone else offer overlays?(yeah, I know about the search function) What about pre-fab "J-Spec" Headlights? I don't trust myself enough to pull apart my headlights, paint them, and glue them back together properly.Thanks!,Joe

It's not that fun yet as I'm still in the break-in period (Under 1000 miles) So fat I've logged 650 miles on it, and plan on keeping it going... I'm hoping to head over to paris in a couple months, and perhaps spain after that. I love the twisty roads out here. Come over and visit, we have room!Joe
