Hi all! I just found this site. I have a '03 AWD Vibe that I bought a few years ago and love! I am having fun going through the forum and am learning more about my car!I'll try to attach a pic of my other love... usually it takes a lot of time and money away from the vibe. oh well - they are both fun!

I don't have many pictures of my Vibe! I want to get the windows tinted - hopefully I can do it this spring! Here's a picture of the car - an old photo, but nothing has changed. I'll put up another picture if/when I get some tinting done!The bike has a Jardine pipe - See? This is where all the $$$ has been going instead of into the Vibe!!! The Jardine is perfect - not too loud, but not so quiet, either! I'm adding another picture of the bike, too! (If two pictures will attach onto one post...........)

Am I allowed to say how fast I go on the bike??? I "hear"

they top out around 140....... not as fast as some bikes, but fast enough for me!I agree that a tint will make the car look so much better! It looks like EVERYONE else on this site has tint! I really need to get on the ball! What other minor mods are important to do also?

Naked bikes are cool, especially red ones, don't you think. Let the good times roll.

Hey djb383! Awsome bike! Is it an 1100 or 1200? My father in law has a blue 1200 rex! They are the best bikes - I'd like a silver and black one some day........

It's an '04 1200 and it was sitting beside a silver and black one at the dealer. It was a tuff decision but I think I did ok.

Either color would have been a good choice on the ZRX! Don't you love how comfy it is? Have you taken it on any long trips?Blue Crush - How good are the emblem overlays? Do they stand up to a weekly carwash - in the winter I can't do it by hand!

I have the PONTIAC overlays on the back hatch and so far after 3.5 years they are still there looking like the first day I bought them.

Yup. They are very good quality and they will not budge. Mine have withstood tons of high pressure washings as well as the washes that have the spinning brushes for the sides. Mine still look good as new after almost 2 years.

No long trips but I've been 150 miles in a day (no Iron (removed) for me) and didn't go anywhere, just rode around having a good time.

No problem. It is a great cheap mod that adds little personal touch to your Vibe. They should be installed when it is above 50°F and the area they go should be cleaned really well to ensure proper stickage. So, you still have a while yet before you can install them, unless you have a heated garage.
