Here's my Vibe. I have tinted the windows, and put new rims on. (No low profiles!!)I have a decal across the back window with celtic writing, but you can't see it. I don't know what to do next. I don't want to go overboard. You'd never know it but there are 2 carseats in the back!!

It's illegal here too but it's my 3rd car with tint and no tickets yet! the front is a little lighter than the back. I need more ideas! Mine still looks way too plain compared to others on here!

I'm thinking of a carbon fibre hood too. Anyone done it? I'd like to see how it looks against the silver.

I lnow, I would've like them bigger too but our roads here a really bad. I am too scared to put low profiles on. One pot hole and that would be the end of them.

Looks nice. I'm just now starting to enjoy the idea of the tricked out family wagon, though. I'm still intimidated by mods, so I may not ever do it, but it's a great concept . I know very little about car maintenance and upgrades so I'd probably just get a stereo upgrade if anything and I'd have to have it professionally installed.

Hey, the vinyl on your third brake light.... is it from grafxwerks?I want to order it, there's two types and I kinda want the cleaner looking one that goes right on the light. But I can't figure out how to open the casing around it. Which one did you get?

hahahah leave it to hubby! so now does the tint come off?as far as removing the third brake housing...i installed an led brake a while back. there are 2 clips that look like buttons. push those in and they should pop right out. good luck!

Hi and welcome!!I just wanted to give you a little FYI on pictures... If you would like them in the post rather than a link you can do different thingsA. Get a Photobucket.com account and upload your pics there, then use the IMG tags to place them into your postB. Upload them here as an attachment, view the attachment and copy the URL link from the adress bar, edit the post and ad [ IMG] [/IMG ] tags around the link that you paste in to the post... like so....[ IMG] [/IMG ]When you use Photobucket you have EDIT options also, you can either set it up to upload the pics ALL a certin size or you can use the edit functions of photobucket to re-size them at will, uploading at FULL size...

Thank you for the tips! (I was going to ask someone) I am going to try it tonight..As for the tint... it stays for now. This is my 3rd car with it and my first ticket. Well, not even my ticket! If I start getting harrassed I'll take it off. Thanks for all the nice comments... I LOVE everybody's car on here. This site is so cool, nobody where I live has done anything to their vibes. It's all old people driving them, it's so cool knowing I'm not the only one who sees them as a cool car!
