GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

I may be a little biased, asfter all it is my car! I called in sick on Friday so I could stay home and wash and clean up my Vibe...it's sneaky I know but hey, my Vibe is worth it!! I was able to put on my last 2 Grafxwerks Vinyls and I couldn't be happier with how it looks...here are a few pics!

Here's the naughty shot....And just an FIY...I put the Vibe right into the garage and drove my Hyundai all weekend...I spent 4 hours on the Vibe and I wasn't about t get it all dirty! Maybe I'll drive it this week...one quick sweep with the California Duster and it'll be ready to go!

This one shows the inlays very well...getting those in was a pain in the (removed)...

That looks great Cathy! Looks awesome with the yellow stickers on it.

I meant naughty because the pic is of the under the (removed) end of the car...it was a joke. They were real easy to put on, especially the GT's....like I said before the PONTIAC inlays were a pain....but it's not rocket science. I highly recommend the use of a blowdryer to help get the vinyl on and help it stick.

is that the GM tailpipe tip.....why does it have such obnoxious looking bolt system hanging underneath....kinda bulky??phil

Yes that is a GM tip. I was wondering about that myself. I have the same tip and you cannot see that bracket on mine. Here is a pic of mine, although my car was really dirty when I took the pic you cannot see the bracket: Cathy, you may want to have the dealer adjust it so you cannot see it or you could probably get under it and do it yourself if you don't mind getting under the car.

The stock one looks good as well. But I like mine a little better.

Hey, i cant think of a better reason to take off a day!!! beautiful car cacathy!! that yellow really stands out against the blue!!

quote:Those are U of M colors there though.That is exactly what I was thinking. I can't do that. Cathy doesn't care about that anyways. She is from Illinois.I have the reflective dark blue that I can't wait to put on. I just need some warmer weather to do it in.

anyone who has a non GM tip.....where did u get it.......i couldnt find any tip that was a 3inch inlet but not so long that the bolts are actually over the standard sized tubing.....ya know.....like b4 the bulge on the end of our pipes.

yeah i did....but like i said...anything that was 3inch inlet was so long that the bolts actually lay over the standard size piping which i guess is 2.? inches

I have no $....an exaust tip or an oil change might be possible...anything else right now is just a dream

- you see those tires in my signature below....those are on my credit card....all i make over break will go to pay the bill....its a vicious cycle!!

i have never paid interest....always pay in full!!!!!!btw........great lookin vibe cathy!!

Looks good, Cathy!! I like the yellow on the Neptune color. I got the dark blue ones, to kind and hide the lettering.

Nice looking ride...er, Vibe. The yellow looks good one the Neptune.

You car's an inspiration cathy! There is Soooooooo much road salt used here in PA its just a waste of time to keep paying $5 to get it washed off. I'll probably do it just before I go to install my exhaust (currently on order!) so I don't get so dirty. I can hardly wait until a big spring rain washes all the salt away!

Wow, really nice. When can you come over to my place to take work on my Vibe?

I wanted to leave the VIBE part alone, as the silver matches the rims and the licenseplate cover thing I bought...so that ties in together. PLus, I really like the brushed aluminum look of the VIBE badge and I thought by just doing the GT it would make it stand out. I gotta be different, ya know? I had such a hard time picking a contrast color for the calipers and stickers....I couldn't decide between red and yellow, but I thought the yellow would work better, plus I just love the color combo. I only wish the caliper paint was a bit brighter...it looks ok in the pics but in real life it's a little too pastel for me...and there are like 7 coats of pain on the calipers, oh well....I'm still happy with the results. BTW, I highly recommend the use of Meguires Quick Detailer...I used that on the Vibe before the pics were taken and it made the surfaces shine like I just put on a fresh coat of wax. In fact, some of the pics (that I dind't post) were kind of ruined when you could see my boyfriends reflection in the surface that he was taking a picture of. I really wish it had been sunny when I finished because the paint looked so nice! I can't wait until spring and I Zaino it!!Today it's snowed here in Illinois about 8"....and the Vibe is still sittin in the garage all perrty. She's getting her rest.....shhhhh

Wow really sharp Cathy a great looking vibe!You have a free pass to make mine look that good.

Damn it's clean....my Vibe hasn't been that clean since winter started....and with the snow we got last night, it won't be clean for a while.

CaCathy,I have to admit, you have one nice looking ride.I love the way you used yellow accents with the overlays and the calipers.Now all you have to do is tint the windows.
