Hey all, just some pics i thought id share with yall. Just bought her last week, pre owned with only 13K miles. Shes a tiger and dream all at once. Base model with no mods yet, but looking for some ideas! Any input would be nice. I know Im going to get new rims and tint but as for every thing else, its up in the air, i have no idea about performence mods or anything like that. Enjoy!

5Th post and have pics up already. Thats what we like to see here.As far as modding goes.CAI and SR would be a good place to start in the engine bay. You could also go with a strut bar. As far as the suspension. Lowering springs and a rear sway bar. For appearence, there are tones of overlays from grafxwerks.Here are some sites to visit-http://www.cosmoracing.comhttp://www.ne ... xwerks.com

nice vibe, kinda weird to see those style of hubcaps on the vibe tho..or are they actual rims??

They are actually replacements put on by the dealership i bought it from. The owner before me apparently scratched them up so they replace em. quite UGLY i think, but the vibe makes up for it.

Question! And this may be a bit dumb, but theres no such thing as a dumb question, only dumb people ha ha jk. anyways, I bought my car almost a month ago. When am i going to get my plates? Do I have to go file for them? Or do they get sent automatically??? Ugh, I never bought a new car so I dont know the process.

They usually get sent to you automatically. But sometimes the dealership is lazy and takes forever to send the info in or they just frogot. I would actually call DMV and see what the status of the plates are.

The PONTIAC inlay was the hardest, took me about 25 mins to put it on. Ugh! But damn does it look good!

I can't wait to start customizing with the inlays and decals.. I just can't decide on a color scheme :D I love the blue-grey stealth color, and on the interior I like the red from the controls and want to build on that, but I'm not sure how to badge the outside. One thing I know I want is the third brake light overlay.Decals are probably going to be the only mods in my budget so I want something really sharp How was it installing the PONTIAC inlay? I saw some photos with reflective inlays and I loved the way it just popped. What tools do you need for it?

Basically, you need something that'll fit into the letter depressions to push down the stickers... I used a round chopstick. It takes so long because it's hard to line them up, but if you're detail oriented, it'll be fine

I used a q-tip! one of the cheaper off brand ones since they arnt as soft, worked like a champ.

Hey all, took these pics a couple days ago at around 6 in the morning. The way the sun and clouds were hitting it were breath taking! take a look! Sorry they are so small, my cell phone camera was set on low. It was MUCH better in person. Enjoy!
