GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

They have the fastest shipping ever I swear! Just yesterday the site showed it in Illinois and it took like 2-3 days to get there from NY! Today they called to tell me they wanted to make sure I was home so they could drop it off!! This 1 looks a lot better than the last. We'll see how it holds up! Pics coming soon! (on my comp, just not on photobucket yet!)

awesome... hope it holds out so when i come out there agian.good luck on the install and you should wax it or something to help it turn to crap again!!!

It's already installed, about 20min after it got here! It's only 4 bolts! Pics almost done, pics of new rotors there too.NM, pics later tonight or tomorrow morn. Photobucket is too slow and I have to leave to pick up the wife and take her to a training for her work.

hey BE GOOD!

Rotors:This was new, didn't have this on my first one, you guys?More pics here if you want to see them:http://smg.photobucket.com/alb...?sc=5

Well the hood looks a lot better! How to the rotors feel?

Dayum....that looks better than mine!!! i'm gonna call them monday. I can drive my car without a hood for a few days.especially if it looks liek that.Did they tell you what they did to get rid of the haze?

All I want to say is...daaaayum. Your ride is sweetKenny

Thanks guys! Brian, the rotors felt a little weird at first but I think that was just b/c everything was new. Now they're golden! As far as what they did, they gave me a new hood! This one had holes already drilled for the liner and such (old one didn't), the paint on the underside was much nicer and cleaner, and I immediately noticed this one has the Quality Control Passed sticker whereas the other didn't. This one has 1 flat spot, but with the hood down you can't see it. Overall it looks 10x better than the last.

Looks really clean now... and it goes with the car. its a lot of dark, but goes with the black grill, sunroof, and tinted windows.Man... now i know what it could look like on my car.I love that side shot!

yea that is a nice looking hood! great choice, glad they fixed it for ya

Sweeeet, now I'm jealous

That would suck if that's the case.

Man that looks soo much better than mine!!I think I'm gonna do the same as you. I finaly got to hand wash the car and noticed all kinds of hazing and what almost looks like bumps all over the hood. The worst spot is right in the front by the latch. Not to mention a couploe flat spots on the front edge. Was trying to decide if I should cover it up with paint, but I like the carbon fiber look.

hey lancer... we need pics of your sweet ride with the CF hood!!!

I'm jealous... that hood looks sick! Looks much better than your original, I like how it is darker and the haze is gone now.VERY NICE!

your vibe definately one of the best looking one's.i'mjelous. i think i might check them out.somebody interested in my custom hood?? i'll sell cheap. then i can get that carbon hood.

Lol I have awesome luck too so the guy the in the room next to mine burnt down his room with a halogen light and caused smoke dmg to my room and now parts of my hood are covers it soot I think mine will have haze problems too so I might just clean the soot off and send it back to them for a new one (mine is still in nearly the same condition it came out of the box in though) Btw, I didn't see the quality control sticker on mine either Jason

I called them three weeks ago, sent them pics two weeks ago, and have not heard anything since...Sent another email out yesterday to follow up but no response yet.

I had the same problem I emailed Linda 3 times in the last 2 weeks with not one reply, guess I will call tomorrow. I bet they are ignoring us because they know we are all gonna try to get our hoods replaced

I bet they are ignoring us because they know we are all gonna try to get our hoods replaced Very good possibility. If they are having a big problem with these hoods, I wouldn't doubt if they are hiding right now. They can't ignore a phone call. They can give you the "we're working on it, give us some time" thing, but at least they have to answer you that way.

Yeah that's what she said int he last email...it's not like it's Linda's fault that the hoods are trashed so I dunno what the problem is...Who ever finished them in China should be slapped silly.

doh double postlook at the one below

Attached files

I know look at the gaps on mine Thats the top of the headlight housing which you shouldn't be able to see but the hood is like half an inch short

HAHAHAHA Mine fits perfectly but it's smudging (removed)....Car parts should DEFINATELY not be made in a country that does not have a successful car company.Although no one that has seen my car has mentioned the sun spots except for the big one on the right side. I get SOOOOOOOOO many compliments on it though so...

I think I'm just going to complain till they replace it or threaten to report them to the better business bureau lol
