This is my 2003 Vibe GT. It's nearing 4 years old now but still looks and runs great. I ordered it in February of 2002 and took delivery early May. Over the years I have done several modifications including:-Mille Miglia Evo5 18x8 Wheels-Kumho Ecsta ASX Tires -Magnaflow Cat-Back Exhaust -Tein S-Tech Springs -Injen CAI -Red Calipers -Hella Supertone Horns -Polk Speakers -Bazooka RS8A-HP Sub-Metallic tinted windows 28% rear and 50% front-Removed roof rack cross barsHere are several photos: In this photo you see the Magnaflow cat-back exhaust and you can see the green Tein S-tech spring on the rear strut. The nice polished stainless steel tip. My still very usuable trunk with my Bazooka RS8A-HP sub. It's an 8" sub with a built in 150 watt RMS amplifier. It provides plenty of bass, is going on 7 years old now and still performs like new. My Mille Miglia Evo5 wheels. Here is a close up of my caliper. I like taking some what artistic photos and here are a couple extras: Here is a link to a video clip I recently made and posted:

Thanks! I'm happy with my mileage over all. It was better before my engine modifications, but I still get 25-27 mpg with my daily some what city type driving and then when I get on the highway I usually always get at least 30 mpg. My best was 34 before the mods, but typically now I get 31-33 on the highway. I got the Evo5's on sale a couple years ago at Tire Rack and yes they were more expensive than deals you find at some of the cheap discount sellers, but I knew I'm getting some quality wheels and not cheap knock offs with unknown quality. Plus, they were the only set that I really felt I loved the look of. I wanted to make sure I bought a style that I would not regret in the future since they were a major investment. I'm not sure if they make these wheels anymore, I think they were discontinued and they came out with new models.

Thanks, in the shot with the street lamp and tree in the background I used my old Minolta DiMage S414, same with the green grass sunny day photo. Most of the others are from my newer Nikon Coolpix 5400 camera. I like the night shot where I shot in an empty office building parking lot where the building has blue neon lights extending up the entire sides. That's why my car has the bluish tint, plus I like how a car drove by on the road during the long exposure and created the line of light.
