17's or 18's would be nice!

Looks great! Really love the pic:)

You guys (& gal) are gonna get me in trouble! I really like the ride on 16's vs 18's, even though I'll admit that 18's would fill those wells much better.When I was shopping for new tires/wheels, the price difference amounted to about $400 extra for 18's. Plus, new 18" tires would always cost about 20% more. So, I guess I'm just gonna have to be the odd one here with A/M 16" wheels!

you could compromise and go with 17's or do you not like odd numbers?

nice car!

Just another pic after a local meet...

Not well-organized, frankly, but fair turnout. There are meets like this every week in Houston. Fortunately, the tuner:ricer ratio is high. I took the photo.

sweet

man nice photograph Glenn. yea i wish i had my Vibe over there but i was in a money crunch and wasnt allowed so ill hope to be there again.

I've tinted my interior trim using NightShades and clear enamel. I left them with a slightly rough finish to diffuse the light and hide fingerprints. In bright light they have a slight purple color, but otherwise they blend in pretty well. Closeup of center trim (note difference in brightness between air controls and lower area)

Nice R.E.M.

Just a quick pic of my car with the camera phone (I'm dyin' to get a new DSLR, but the wife get's a new camera first).You can see the powdercoated roof rails and darkened tails a little better.

That looks fantastic! I was planning on having my taillights tinted, But I just bought a DC sports header so it'll have to wait untill later. Lookin Good!

Well, I just completed two "mods"..First, I got a new windshield after a rock chip on the very far right corner created a two-foot long crack in about one month. Wish I'd seen the chip, but it was out of view from the cabin (over the black area near the weatherstripping).Second, and most importantly, I paid it off! Title will be in my hands in about a week.Next on the fix-it list is a new left wheel well. I've been putting off getting it replaced for way too long.

Congrats on paying it off! That sure feels good.

Glenn where have you been hiding?? haha well its good to hear your paying off the beast also its good to know your still out there haha take it easy man and congrats

this thread need waaaaayyyyy more pics man how's she looking now?

Wow, APM; this is nearly a 2-year bump!My Vibe has taken a beating over the past year. Still looks good externally - and getting awesome mileage since I did a couple of oil treatments/changes last month. I've averaged over 33 MPG for the last three tanks (in an automatic, no less). And the interior is still looking good.But, I've neglected it in regular upkeep and I'm looking to give it a complete facelift. Replace the sports package completely (front bumper and brackets are shot); minor body repair to driver's side door (really minor, but I'd like to smooth it out); completely clean the engine bay.When it's all done, I'll slap a new pair of genvibe.com stickers and announce it to the world. They're in an envelope right now just waiting to get applied.

Hey I'm no stranger to bumping old threads.lolMy way of saying your car still looks amazing, even if you've gotten used to the way it looks

How have the CAI and H-Techs held up over the years?

wow Glenn, its been a looong time! now if ya want i can take the old sports package off your hands for ya. i need another trip back to Houston.
