HI, I need a little/lot of advice on some interior reworkings for my 05 Vibe. I have only one functional eye (right one) and here are the areas that I would like to mod (in a trendy/stylish way): 1. The Chrome rims on dash needs to go, any dash decals? 2. Would like to add a Speedo atop the dash (kind of like the Scion) 3. Would a window tint/decal to the top of the front windshield distrupt any sensors? 4. Anyway to fix the problem of the rear-view to stop knocking into the sunshield on the driverside? 5. How about adding a set of longhorns to the hood? (j/k) 6. Replacing the rear-view mirror with a larger one? 7. Any other advice would help!!! :-D

you can buy larger rear view mirror attachments at local auto parts stores however they would also contact the sunvisor in its down position.I have an "eyebrow" as they call it across the top of my windshield and it doesn't effect any sensors.You can paint those chrome pieces... I've seen them in various colours and members here can help you out with those details.ah... no long horns please lolunsure of a speedo on top of the dash...

1. The Chrome rims on dash needs to go, any dash decals?If you pull off the trim in front ot the instrument cluster, and look at the backside, you can probably see how to remove the chrome part from the rest. What to do to it after that is up to you. I like the chrome 2. Would like to add a Speedo atop the dash (kind of like the Scion) bleh - not me 3. Would a window tint/decal to the top of the front windshield distrupt any sensors?probably not 4. Anyway to fix the problem of the rear-view to stop knocking into the sunshield on the driverside?http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=18784 5. How about adding a set of longhorns to the hood? (j/k)Better than some of the wings I have seen on cars 6. Replacing the rear-view mirror with a larger one?should be fairly straightfoward, but will make #4 worse 7. Any other advice would help!!! :-Dsome people have custom painted their interior trim pieces for a nice effect, but again, not me8. Welcome to genvibe
