Dude, its not about how comfy you want your ride, its about how sweet you will look! Who cares how sore you are after driving for 10 minutes!

Quote, originally posted by Kamikaze »I added notes on my top post some day I'll add a pic of the intake....I'm really on the fence about lowering the car... I've lowered the last 2 cars of mine... and I didn't really care for the harsher ride... I'm not going to autocross the vibe or anthing so the amount of performance gain to me doesn't = the comfty ride sacrafice... I know it's not going to change it that much... but I just don't know... Then get the TRD springs, it has the best comfort and it doesnt lower it a ton but still looks good.

Don't forget to use a little silicone under the gasket,to keep the water out.

Now I,m really awaiting the arivil of the wing, that looks sweet. Im hopinf it will be here Friday. Then I can drop it at the body guy and get it painted, and put it on next week.Aron

I sent you an IM saying I got the wing and had a question about the bolt holes. yours did come with 6 bolts. Mine only had 4 bolts and is missing the drilled holes on the lower part of the wing.In your opinion is the wing sturdy without the lower bolts in or should I drill the holes? They were probably thinking (removed) 2 Vibe wings in a weeks time. Also did yous come with gaskets? No gasket for me, but my body guy said he has some.Aron

by audiovibe
And im at none. The strange thing is the only ones missing are the one for the lower portion on the legs. Ill ask my body guys opinion but Ill probably just pick up a couple more bolts an use the three holes that are there that way I dont have to drill into the wing.Aron

Quote, originally posted by NascarXprt »very neat head unit. what is it and eclipse?It's the Eclipse CD3200, picked it up at Circuit City for $215... Two of the really nice features it has is Bluetooth and USB.I'm not to fond of the display, but it's just taking a little getting use to, other thing is I can't really tweak the sound as much as I would like. But other than that It sounds better than stock, looks better than stock, and can do so much more than stock. The Hands free is pretty smoth, as long as you have a phone that it recognizes. I can get mine working, but it doesn't recognize my phone book, which isn't a big deal, I just open my phone, speed dial who I want, close my phone, and everything else is done thru the HU.

The Vibe looks great. Bike's not too bad, either. Did the new HU actually improve the sound? Did you change speakers or do you have OEMs. Monsoon? About your CBR wheels, how did you get that red trim on them? Did you do that or is some kind of option that I've never noticed before? Extremely cool. Keep up the good work, dude.

OEM monsoon - The sound is definitely cleaner. The high's are much better even with the stock speakers (I can imagine if I swapped out the speakers how much even better it could be)Quote, originally posted by vibolista »About your CBR wheels, how did you get that red trim on them? Did you do that or is some kind of option that I've never noticed before? Extremely cool. It's a reflective rim tape you can buy, came with an applicator, I have front and rear stands so I just put the bike up on the stands and kept the applicator in the same spot and spun the wheel, turned out better than I thought it wouldQuote, originally posted by vibolista »Keep up the good work, dude. Thanks, I'm trying, I have some things in the mix and will post pics when all done.

I really like it too. It recognizes my 16GB USB so I've got a ton of music,and the Bluetooth works pretty good. It could be better, but I won't complain for $200.
