Hey all,Just wanted to say that on Tuesday I finally bought my Vibe--a base two-tone platinum '05 with manual transmission, Moon & Tunes, Power Package, theft-deterrent alarm, side/curtain airbags, and ABS. It's a sweet ride. I'm still getting used to the clutch (it's a little different than my '95 Honda Civic VX) and the blind spots, but I love the higher ride. And I've already found myself going faster than expected.Sorry no pix yet (save for my new avatar).Now I have to start working on some mods! My first might be to get an '03/'04 center storage console. I'd like to eventually put back in all the things Pontiac took out of the '05.Thanks to all who post here--I did a LOT of reading before I plunked down my money.

Congrats on the Vibe purchase. Check with the parts dept. at your local Toyota dealership for the center storage console part# 58905-02210-B1 ($110) if you can't find one off an '03 or '04.

Don't forget to add the extra cigarette outlet in the center console too!

Check junkyards, you may (emphasis on MAY) get better deals on like-new parts from them...

I recall reading some discussion about installing the missing jack, but I don't recall that anyone actually went ahead and did it.Thanks for the welcomes and info! I'll try to get some pictures taken this weekend.
