It looks sort of like the RK Sport hood,but the scoops look a little small.I like it,looks good.I'd like a c/f hood similar to that.

Those are universal "stick-on" hood scoops. I'm glad you got them molded on Could we get some better/closer pics?

Nice. Got this website from Quebec where they customize GM cars...including the Vibe.
http://www.streetforce.caThey have a hood scoop which will look sweet on a Vibe.

Are those molded in??? I see the ridge along the front of them, like they are stuck on.... Those scoops are very popular in my area...

THOSE ARE JUST STICK ON. BUT I FIND THEY DO LOOK GOOD ON THIS KIND OF CAR. MABE IN THE FUTUR I WILL ADD A HOOD BUT FOR NOW IT,S OK FOR ME. MY NEXT MOVE WILL BE TO ADD A REAR SPOILER.

They certinly don't look bad for stick ons, Pontiac started the whole "snout" hood scoops with the T/A so it's in the blood... Some cars just look horrible with them, though..

I had a '02 Grand Am, and i riped the front spoiler in winter so i think i will keep it like that.

I like the hood! Who cares if it's functional or not. Like anyone is gonna know the difference!I agree though, you gotta lower it. I've had mine lowered 2" for the past 3 years. Haven't had a problem with it in the winter. You'll still have over 3" of clearance under your car. I got BIG snow tires at the end of last winter. They're actually an inch taller than my 18" rims. I can keep up with 4x4 trucks in heavy snow.So there! Drop it!!You can use coil overs, too. Lower it for the summer, raise it in the winter.

you dont have to go the 2.3" drop, you can go with a 1.5" drop with the TRD, Eibach, or hotchkis (sp?) springs and still maintain the height advantage.
