Help--New Vibe Owner

Recently bought a 2003 Vibe which I am oh so proud of, and although I think it's beautiful, I just wanna help keep it far away from the station wagon look. I've seen a few mods and bdy kits on the net, just wanna hear it from other Vibe owners...what kits are the most worth my while?So far I've found some half decent scopes and grills, and suicide doors which are kinda cool. How do wings/spoilers look on the Vibe?Any feedback is much appreciated.

Welcome to the site. PsychoVibe offers a custom Vibe Kit, but it's made for the 2005 Vibes and would have to be customized a bit more for a 2003.Getting a nice set of rims with a 1.5" or so drop would give it a nice look, as would a Magnaflow/Borla/Etc exhaust. A 3" Cat-back exhaust would help to free up restrictions, and add some horsepower, as would a cold air intake (AEM, Cosmo, and Injen make quality well-priced Vibe cold air intakes). A full CAI (Cold-Air-Intake) is more effective than a short ram CAI, but harder to install yourself.

Hey dude, a 3'' would be more useful with ur setup with the turbo and all. I would recommend a 2 1/4'' exhaust system going from your cat and back-hence a catback. As said before, Magnaflow Catback. Now, for the body kit issue. IMHO, I would get the RKSport front fascia and side skirts and the pychovibe rear fascia. I think that would look pretty sweet. And I think the stock top spoiler looks awesome on our cars. As for a drop, I would recommend the Hotchkis spring and strut combo. That would really looks sharp. And some 18's and you would be set.

Thanks for the responses guys, some interesting choices I've got on my hands.Anyway, that RKSport front fascia...do they have one for the Vibe, or is it a modication of the one for the firebird?

0304 Vibes with the Moon and Tunes option don't like 18's or larger, as it places extra stress on an already weakened fram due to the removal of roof from the moonroof.Although I don't practice what I preach

For the front fascia. You may want to speak with RKSport themselves. They'll help you with that.Inder

I've got the aluminum grills and red neons I think it looks awsome.
