Please excuse the quality of the photos, they were taken at twilight.

didnt work..if you have the pics, host them on http://www.photobucket.com all you would have to do is copy the link that starts with [IMG] and paste it in the reply here

Thanks waveAction. Worked like a charm.

ohhh i like the look, the stock body kit is nice.

i like those wheels a lot

slap a set of gold BBS rims on there and I'd be all over it. Still looks good though. REALLY like those seats. Wish they had them when I owned a Vibe.

hey welcome to the family!nice gt! i like the vented lower rocker panels. and like hsaker said, those are suweet wheels.

VERY nice!

Looks great! And those are some really nice rims.

i like those seats alot they look really really comfortable

It came with the spoiler??!! Nice wheels and I like what they did with the rear lights! If it were me, I'd take off that dealer sticker and license frame, unless they gave you a reeeeeally good deal, free oil changes for a year, free gas for a year or other free stuff LOL. Looks good though

looks great.the dealer i bought my GT from had a GT in the showroom, so i was able to get a good look at one (and the G8) in person, and they look a lot better than the pics IMO, especially the back end. i wasn't real sure about the seats from the pics i saw, but it grew on me as soon as i saw em in person. i'm pretty sure i've said it before, but my absolute favorite thing about the new GT's is that they FINALLY look different than the base and AWD models. it's about time someone on the development team used their brain for something besides an ear separator . i think the sport package should've been stock with the GT's, and optional with the other modelsand i really like those wheels. i'm curious if the bolt pattern and everything is the same as the previous gen's

Yes, it had two compartments. One is about as deep as the previous generation and the top one is good for cell phones, papers, pens, etc. Anything flat can fit in it. The glove box also has two shelves and it is deeper than the previous gen too.

They are such good lookin cars.

Nice pics and Vibe. That rear window sure looks smaller though.

Wow...like the color and wheel combo...for whatever reason, sort of reminds me of a Golf GTI. Just some thought probably nobody will give a **** about: No door trim? Better park in the back 40 to avoid door dings. Nice interior, but they used the same power mirror buttons? And man...how could you spend that much money and not make the dealer take his cheesey decal off the hatch? BTW: I'm jealous.

Actually, yeah...the door trim on the Vibe does protect against some door dings. I can't vouch for door trim in general, but my '05 Vibe does has tell-tale indentations in the soft plastic door trim from door dings. I'm not sure how tight I can get the pics, but I'll take some of the various vertical indentations in the moulding (especially the rear doors). But if you don't beleve me, just keep an eye open for parked Matrix's; I see them all the time w/dings in the rear doors.

Thanks for all the comments--I think The doors do have trim (they are in white and fortunately not very noticeable.) I did not even think about the dealer's name on the back. I just looked to see how hard it would be for me to peal off. I decided that it would be better for them to remove.

love the frosty..specially the seats..i'd love to have those seats in my vibe..would be killer.also in your first post, the first pic, you forgot the bracket [ so it doesnt show up, just a heads up

Looks AWESOME! Congrats on your new baby! You'll have to let us know how the visibility is for the rear window and blind spots - cause man, I agree with the previous post - those windows do look small..... but it sure is a sweet looking car!

Looks nice. First thing I did when I got home was take the dealer decal off the back. My dealer had a big nasty looking decal. I was lucky as it was just put on a couple hours before I removed it. If they want an add on my car they need to come up with some cash.

Can't imagine what condition the doors would be in without the trim.

If they want an add on my car they need to come up with some cash.when i got my car, i told them not to put on the dealer badge, and since it was a request they didnt, it's one of those things that all you gotta do is ask.

This car was on the show room floor. They added all kinds of stuff I did not really want like a Simmonize finish with a five year guarantee. (Added to the price of the sticker) Their badge was already on. Does anyone know how I can safely remove it. Is there a solvent that is save for car finishes?Thanks

still odd to see an Automatic in a GT........

Thank you all again for your warm wishes. On behalf of my Vibe, thank you for all your complements as well. I know the dealer's badge on the rear of the car was a sore subject with many of you. It was easily removed moments ago with no negative consequences whatsoever. (Whew!)

You'll have to let us know how the visibility is for the rear window and blind spots - cause man, I agree with the previous post - those windows do look small..... but it sure is a sweet looking car!We have no problems with the blind spot. As long as you adjust your mirrors properly, there is almost no blind spot whatsoever.I used this guide to adjust my mirros, and it works awesome!http://cartalk.com/content/features/mirrors/ And I'm not so sure the 09 Vibe window is that much smaller. Didn't the pre 09's have the window shocks taking up a portion of the left and right side of the mirror? Thats gone in the 09 as you already know.I can take an actual measurement if anyone wants to know the physical dimensions of the rear window.

i have no problems looking out the back window..imo and just by looking at a pic of my car compared to what theo posted, older vibes look like the glass is abit wider and longer(vertically)

And the proof. .

yep, and compared to mine

Hi WaveAction,I am still struggling with phobucket, but I think I got it this time.

lol it's all good..i updated my post once i saw the pic up

I really like the license plate. I agree with you, the rear window certainly looks as though it has shrunk!

Welcome to GenVibe...nice one....kinda makes me want a GT now.

the amount of physical glass has shrunk, but I am not so sure the visible viewing area has shrunk at all.

Even though the rear window shrunk, I didn't have a problem seeing through it on my test drive.

Nice pics of the new Vibe we're still debating what color to get (white or black) if we get a new 09and having driven both, the rear window visibility is still good

Hi bull77,Thanks for the complement. White or black. Nice quandary. Let us know what you chose. Let us know which you chose.

BTW Wave, I like your Vibe's shade of blue!

hmmm the rear window is different, I still think its a sharp looking vibe. makes me want to test drive a new GT just wanna see what a 2.4l can do

Quote, originally posted by Theodoreable »BTW Wave, I like your Vibe's shade of blue!thanks man!, i wanted this color for awhile and wanted to be different since you rarely see any of them around..kinda like the envy greens and even the copper orange ones.

2 things i really like about the new vibes are the honeycomb seats...and the bigger glovebox...
