This might be unbeliveable, but I got it free... I work at a dealership, and we sold one of our other stores and all theparts were shipped to the main store, where I work at... for some reason the part was unaccounted for and the part number on it was discontinued..some kind of hooplah like that... so the parts guys saw what was in the box.. complete body kit minus the two spoilers...and remembered I drove a vibe and asked if I wanted it - because they were going to throw it away...and I said heck yea... my only dilema now is that it's the abyss color - already painted...my car is frosty two tone...so should I repaint it or put it on as is..??oh, what a problem to have...

Throw it on as is just so we can see what it looks like! If you don't like it you can always take it off and paint it.

I'm surprised. It does look good with the two tone. Gives it a "stripe" look. Those wheels really look great with gun metal or gray finish, almost an exact match to the cladding. I'm curious as to how the Frosty two tone with the Abyss would look. Might look good, definitely unique.

SWEET! I would probably try to get the whole thing, 2-tone pieces and all, painted black(or maybe even white would be cool!) just for uniformity and flow. Looks awesome though! for the guiene(?) pig!!

I'd change the kit to white as well. I'm not feeling the white, gray, to black. There just isn't much contrast between the gray and black and it doesn't look that great in my opinion. I think painting the kit white would look great, like NascarXprt's photochop shows.

That is just gorgeous! Go for the white. Seriously though, if i dont work at a dealership, where do i find this kit and how much should i expect to pay for it. all i can come across online is the RX sports kit and i hate it.
