Boom! You win the "Wheres my Vibe contest" I can't wait to get mine Georgia has some neat sights but when I move to Colorado its game on BTW ALL? What does a wheel/tire snow combo run you in US$? Second I wish GM was all in on the Vibe that way they could come out with a rally sport edition with AWD/Turbo/6sp. Sorry seeing those snow tires made me think of a scoobie

Quote, originally posted by bull77 Â»any tips on how to decrease grainy photos under low light/shadows?What kind of camera?If it's not just a lousy camera, you may try playing around with different settings. I've used a 7MP Olympus that took just absolutely awful photos on the "Auto" setting, but if you used "portrait" or "anti-vibration" settings, they came out very well. Find a low-light situation and take a photo under each of the settings, writing them down or remembering the order. Then download them to a PC and examine them at native resolution to see which setting suits looks best.If none of those setting configs works well, you may have to play with the finer settings, like white balance, shutter speed, etc. I'm not much good to explain those however.

Hey, in your list of mods to come you said you want to paint your headlight housing black? That would be what is now chrome in the headlights, correct?

nice clean job! tails almost look exactly like mine! if you had the rims and drop, the only difference is the projector conversion and the bug thing in the front of the bumper. (forgot what that thing was called) lol

Here's a how-to from TMG: Yes, I understand that they need to be baked apart, but what prep was necessary for the paint to stick to the chrome plating w/o peeling? Afterall, paint and chrome don't get along too well on their own.
