First off an introduction! I am a proud owner of a 2004 Vibe GT - Moon & Tunes. I have been a long time reader but this is my first posting. I usually like to hide out in the background and let everyone else do the talking. I was first introduced to the vibe community when my grandfather purchased an '03 Base. I also, at the time, worked for a GM/Pontiac Dealer. It was love at first sight. The perfect vehicle for my needs.As you may have guessed i work at a dealership, but i have since moved to a cleaner and more new facility with a different automobile company. I now spend my days working on Honda's and Mazda's. I am the lead Tire & Lube Tech. So i spend most my days turning a wrench and fixing peoples mistakes. And i love putting 18" and 20" Wheel-sets together. Seeing as this is a site about vehicles i suppose a bit about mine is in order. As mentioned above it is a 2004 Vibe GT - Moon & Tunes with "Quicksilver" Monotone Package. A couple modifications i have done were first of all: Installing a "Red Top" Optima Battery to deal with the poor cranking amps of the stock battery. Second: Tint - Rears i had done as dark as possible a.k.a. "Limo" And the fronts i had done to the legal limit in my state being 43%. And third: Removing the "Vibe" from the sides and rear and the small Pontiac shield from the rear. I am getting an extra set of "GT" trim peices for the Left side so i can match the Right side position on the car.Some future modifications i have planned, in no particular order: Simple, but bold paint work(I have yet to come up with a design i want), Adding the 2005 Rear Subwoofer panel and working out the details on adding a simple sound adjustment(I am more then willing to experiment here when i have the money - for those that are looking into the same thing but want someone else to try it first), Possible I-Pod adaptation(If i buy one), Simple exhaust work - nothing fancy, Possibly... Cold Air Induction(Haven't decided yet - doubt i will for a while)I personally love the stock look of my car, but i also wish to support my friend who is a painter. And i like the sound of a deep growling engine. Not to mention rolling the windows down and blasting the Tunes.Well thats about it.Oh.... And to finish...... if anyone knows how i can get ahold of the person that does the overlays for the rear tail lamps..... Let me know. I would send them money tomorrow if i had an address.
