well, at least until Aerogear's bodykit is installed. I swapped in my black 3-peice billet grilles so I could ship my silver ones to Merzbrow, and finally got around to taking some pics. They're not ground-breaking or anything, but I think I like them more than the silver ones ).Oh, I AM aware that my plate is crooked and bent to hell , and I'm not going to bother censoring it either other pics:

Looks sweet Christian! I agree that the black grilling looks better than the silver too

sexy vibe and congrates on vibe of the mounth

Yeah. I think that yours looks a lot better without the grills. But yours should look pretty nice with the kit coming your way. When is that supposed to be in your hands by the way?Inder

Heya Psychobroker,Like the darkened look but the second picture you really can't see the grills at all. Was wondering if, at least from a distance or an angle if you think there is a difference between the OEM and the add-ons. I'm considering getting add-on grills but not sure about the style.Also, I do notice you have a decal on your roof rails but what do you think it would look like if they were blacked out too? I think I remember old posts where people painted or powder-coated theirs. Was considering using the cheap black eyebrow vinyl to cover mine instead of permanent paint. How do you think that would look?Dave

D*mn, that second pic took my breathe away lol. I forgot how bad-@$$ your car looks.

WOW,very nice

Looks sharp Chrisitan! Did you just spray paint them or what? I have thought about doing that, but don't want to screw them up if it comes out sh#*&y! Can't wait for our kits and hoods to come in! We will definitely have to take pics of our Vibes together when we get them installed!

Damn, that is sweet looking. Keep up the good work.

I'm considering getting add-on grills but not sure about the style.You can definitely tell the difference in person, especially if I had my plate mounted in the OEM position. Although, I don't think you can buy these grilles since Mr. Grille doesn't sell them in black...you can ask them though.Quote »Also, I do notice you have a decal on your roof rails but what do you think it would look like if they were blacked out too?

We will definitely have to take pics of our Vibes together when we get them installed!Actually, I got them from Mr. Grille when I went out to Norco to "protoptype" the 3-peice kit he sells on eBay. I asked him if he could do a set in black, and he did. From the way he described it, these are powdercoated black.Now that I'm looking at the side-by-sides, I like them even more. They match my JDM'd headlights too. Thanks everyone for the feedback.

I think the black makes it look more aggressive. Looks Great!

man, you're gettin all the prototypes! You wanna sell me these too when you get the bodykit? j/k. I like my three piece.

I am painting mine right now. Not sure how well they will look or hold up, but I only need them until the kit comes in! Did the top set last night, might have to wait to get the bottoms off as it is raining and I don't have a garage!

I miss the ability to just run outside and paint something...30 degree wheatehr does not permit it...you guys are SOOOO unbelievably lucky you have no idea...my caliper paint looks like absolute sh*t because of hte road salt and I can't do a thing about it until it warms above 50 to paint them again.

peel the rest of it off so it looks even or go for the red and grey camo look hehe

(removed), I scraped what I could get off without removing the wheel but it still looks rediculous...I'll take off the wheels tomorow and try to get it all off no worse feeling than that of reverting something back to stock!

Nice look, I really like it. But the blue just sets everything off nicely, that is such an awsome color!

With the black accents now your blue looks WAAAAY darker than stock. It's almost like custom paint job. Doesn't look real

Quote, originally posted by Psychobroker »thanks a lot bro Not to hijack my own thread , but, do you have a link to pics of your GT? I don't remember seeing any. No, not as of yet, I'll clean her up when the weather breaks and snap some shots and post them if you guys wanna see them.

Wait, wait, wait, just a second.....that's not a custom paint job???? I thought it was, didn't I see pics of before/after?

Quote, originally posted by PhillyVibeGT »Wait, wait, wait, just a second.....that's not a custom paint job???? I thought it was, didn't I see pics of before/after?No sir, I think it's just the lighting. Also, the black accents (headlights, grille, overlays, tint) may be coming into play as well

how quaint...those midwestern states still require front plates...i don't miss those days....that grill looks excellent...where did you pick that up?Quote, originally posted by Psychobroker »well, at least until Aerogear's bodykit is installed.

Might delete all the IMG's when you reply from the qoute before you post it. That way they don't all show up again every time someone replies!

it does look a lot better with the black ones, good work.It totally complements your wheels and tint.
