It's still under factory warranty, so no engine mods right now. Definitely going to put springs on it and some bigger wheels. I probably wait until the tires are shot though...unless someone wants the stock 16's with the tires...

Welcome to GV! I would have loved a GT but just out of my price range.

It's a little dead in the bottom end, but I'm always coming from a 12V VR6 Passat and a 1.8T GTI that was APR chipped. Quicker than I really expected it to be though.I'd like more torque though...

I put it on there. It's a Yakima Lowrider system. The lowrider towers fit directly onto the factory rack.For the setup I have, which is the Lowrider towers, 48" xbars, 32" fairing, two locking trays and locks for it all, you're looking at around $500 retail!!!The shop I race for gave me a deal though, thank God! The trays interfere with the hatch a little, but not enough to really fret about. It looks clean on the roof.

I got the tint done today. 20 on the front two doors and 5 on the rest. 5 is limo tint. In SC, the Vibe falls under the minivan/SUV provision in the tint law, so you can black out the back windows.I'll post a pic tomorrow! It looks good with the black trim!
