A Vibe-GTO?! Link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...wItem

I like it... except for the GTO part.

i like it, it looks good but theres no power goods.someone should send him a msg to check out genvibe, i would but i'm not an ebay member

LOL I like it. But it isnt even a GT. I'll buy the factory sub panel off of them. Them things are expensive!!!

I love it , especialy the burnt orange color. but not the air brushed rear vent and gto but ill take it. it just needs to be lowered, a good exhaust, CAI, and a better sound system.

yup i think it looks awesome!! i like that 2 tone paint but yea the gto part..not needed.

What a joke base model with painted wheels plzzzz they even two toned it in the wrong place a mod anyone could handle

isn't that the way that jason wanted to do to his car?

BAD VIBE is right. Looks as if he really didn't have a vison when he started. About the only thing I do like on it, o wait, strike that. If you don't have something nice to say don't say anything at all. So I won't say anything.

atrocious.

If it was done right it would look good, but I think the GTO stuff needs to go. I think the painted tC wheels looks pretty good, but a drop would sure help.

Rice-a-rific.It's not even a GT! Let alone a GT "O"! WTH!Fake painted side rear brake vents...for drum brakes...(removed)!

not my cup of tea

I think it's pretty sweet. I think it is more of a joke-type car rather than serious....kinda like the people that jack up the rear on a minivan and get dual flowmasters for it like the old muscle cars...it' looks awesome and unique but the owner is not SERIOUSLY trying to pretend he has a GTO.The sidevent looks pretty well done even though the idea of a painted cosmetic part that isn't physically real doesn't realy do anything for me lol...and the only other problem is that people wouldn't understand the VIBE/GTO part of it so you would get alot of B/S from people like on here (removed)! Also, if you look closely, the rims are painted to match the dark tinted roof...light transparent coat of black ontop of the Fusion. You obviously wouldn't be able to find rims that color unless you were to custom paint them...am I right???? GEEEEEZ! I'd rather look at that, than the senile elder ones driving 15mph with a Vibe that still has road salt on it from the winter of 2003!If ya'll gun B up on a cuzin's grill, ya'll should join a Grand Prix club....they are notorious for talkin dat smack! (removed)...no offense to G/P drivers

I really don't mind the paint at all. I think it looks good. lol. what was the two-tone line supposed to look like?

Sorry, it's just tacky to me.

I like it! But 20 grand invested! Ouch!

My brother, who use to own a 2004 GTO, noticed the aftermarket spoiler right away. He laughed vary hard when he saw the car.

i don't like all of it, but the hood is sweet, and i actually like the airbrushed rear scoops

I think it's pretty cool. Must be a bunch of old farts here (lol, ha, ha, ha) that are just jealous that it's his, not their's.

*scratches head in bewilderment*i don't doubt the work he put into it but i do question the color choice. the copper on the rims doesn't match the more orangey-ness of the car. eh, whatever. c'est la vie.

oh dear Lord it's from ohio... why oh why is it that it's stuff like this that puts us on the map. wadsworth even, oi!can't say i'm a fan of the overall design (or roof color), but i do kinda like the airbrushed side vents. it has the same cheesey apeal to me that the old "bullet hole" decals did in the 1990's. Quote, originally posted by savedbyzero »Rice-a-rific.i'll agree with that!

tcam the proper two tone line should always follow the flow of the body and accent the body lines see the body line on the rear gate that wraps around just over the tail lights and than would follow through between the windows and handles up to the front head lights trust me thought of te million ways to do mine and thats the best way if your looking for a true two tone, As for 20 K in this thing there is nooooooooo way on this planet the whole car didnt cost 20 k new and he only painted half the car not to mention the wheels witch will never stay on they will be chipped in a weak plus scion wheels you can buy for couple hundred bucks if that i agree with others pretty good idea but like most dont think or draw things trough ahead of time to put any theme into there car oh yeah color is all wrong a pearl champagne color with big billets would of rocked

i enjoy it. it's ver unique. the air brushed vents are a great idea. it's all about looks here, and he says it. a custom paint job like that is worth serious mulah.

some one should fill him in on just what is custom! painting the roof of your car is nothing custom thats for damn sure lol and anyone can have your roof done like that for less than 300 bucks at any body shop

Anyone can stick a big sticker on their car too!

Thats funny because last time i checked i had ummmm a borla exaust, an intake with ra air, lowered wheels xm and sub etc. but a little about about my design it was that Designed thats the whole point! even as radical as it is it fits the cars body lines and thats what makes a car appealing to look at rather you choose to like a certain look or not plus it should have a theme and not look like a JC whitney wagon like some i have seen on here where you just bolt on stuff with no apperant theme besides a wrap like mine my cost is $1,600 and shines and last aslong if not longer than any paint plus if you wish to ever want to change it you dont have to repaint the car for a new look

Calm down George, I'm just saying that this guy probably made his Vibe just like he wanted it. It seems that if a car isn't exactly like you want it, it sucks. I bet if we took a poll, his and yours would get about the same amount of votes.

i agree with chi chi here. it's ok to say it's ugly or not your cup of tea, but to sit and say it's stupid and improperly done is a bit much. it's not like your the first person to put flames on their car.don't worry, i too think it's pretty ugly, but he had a good idea that wasn't executed properly.OT - man, george, your longer posts are almost impossible to read!

Quote, originally posted by high revin »What a joke base model with painted wheels plzzzz they even two toned it in the wrong place a mod anyone could handleI actually think this is the best way to split it into two tones...always been a fan of the separate colored top (a-la the new Mini with the white roof)...And to each their own for customizing...his is more custom than mine...Lastly, I would argue that it doesn't matter if he spent $300 (unlikely) or $1600 on a paint job, it's what he wanted...the price doesn't make the custom...

To be quite honest, I'm not a fan of any of the "custom" paint jobs I've seen on Vibes around here. Too loud and "look at me" for my taste. I think his paint scheme could have followed the lines of the car better. Chip Foose has that down to a tee. Take a look at some of his work. ...but $20,000...I don't think so.

I like it, although it needs lowered and new rims.....just MHO. High Revs car is nice too. Of course, what do I know about customizing a car.

I agreed with the incorrect bodyline at first but upon closer inspection, if you were to paint it from the line that you are referring to, it would not look right. If you look at the side view, you can see he followed the line of the bottom of the windows. If you were to use your line, it would make the windows look too big first of all, and second of all, he would have to CONTINUE that same paint line across the front fender where it is creased which would then result in having to paint the HOOD black, otherwise the entire car would look off balance if you just carried it to the bottom of the windows...get it The moral of the story??? You cannot paint a two toned Vibe using either of those lines unless you want the hood two toned as well How's that for a compromise?

There is only one good way to have a 2 tone vibe: Don't get it in monotone.

Mezbow is right you do have to 2 tone the hood thats what makes it look seperated! and clean

Yeah. Only thing with two toning the entire top half is that it would not give you the "rag top" or black top look like you can get with the 240sx or RX-7s. The Vibe doesn't have the correct body lines for something like that.I still like it just because it is unique. I give ANYONE credit for modding their car...even ricers. Only people I have no respect for are the "DUB" style crowd with the 47" wheels and lamborghini doors on Escalades...absolutely tasteless cars IMO.
