Looks cool.There's something not right with the original grilles.You will have to make them out of the same as the bottom to balance them.

It does look good, as Kev said, even out the honeycomb from the top grille, go billet, or get mesh for the whole thing. My only other opinion would be to make the front edges in line with the side skirt so they flow instead of it coming up, then starting lower again for the skirt.

id go with something that gives it more purpose and add those little things that increase the downforce in the front.and ive never been a fan of anything on the bumpers or sideskirts that have to many contours, it sticks out to much and becomes tacky very quick. let me find an example if i can

not my style... but if you must I agree with the others and even out the little "wings" so it flows nicely and make sure the grilles match It would look better with an intercooler

Your talking about splitters right? Can't stand them on road cars, they are unecessary and a kit like the one you linked is like a fauz splitter. The real ones have struts attached to the frame underneath and are usually CF.

Looks hot, but you gotta have the GO, to match the SHOW, or your just another ricer, with a GT-R sticker

Quote, originally posted by Whelan »Your talking about splitters right?no, not splitters... I was (and I think Manicdan was too) referring to the edges that stick out at the bottom corners of the bumper.

It may be a little "extreme" for me, but I actually think it wouldn't too bad. How would you go about getting it made?

that actually looks pretty cool the only thing i would do is take away those smaller air ducts in the front and shorten that lower left corner extension so its not sticking way out from the cars contour.

I would actually be frankenstiening the kit...It is actually a kit that is made for the Matrix.. I would have an OE bumper halfed and the kit halfed and then make them one.. and then i will decide if i make a mold or not. This is all just me thinking, not a project I am sure I will do or not.Here are the shots of the matrix kit:

I think that kit on the MAtrix would look cool on the Vibe. You'd sure be a one of kind. Go for it, it's your car.Ivan.
