I've had my 06 Vibe for a year & a half, Hubby got his 08 Vibe a few weeks ago. It doesn't look like they changed anything until 09, but wanted to check with the guru's here first before we go ordering window vents, bug shields etc. Can't seem to find much in the way of extra's for 08's just yet. Here is a pic....twinkies!

Which one is which? Your Platinum two-tone is an exact twin of my '06, but of course it could just as easily be the '08! You're right. I don't think they made any visible changes during those years. Looking good, BTW.

about the only thing that's different between the 05-08 is that the rocker panels are flared on the 06-08. check my sig pic for the regular rockers. i wish i had the flared ones the things you mentioned will fit on all years form 03-08and welcome to the family

Don't know if that's true for the two-tone Vibes. Might just have been the monotones (I asked this same question in a thread I started a few weeks ago). Mine is an '06 Platinum two-tone, which of course has the flared rocker panel cladding. If you look at slvrvibes sig for her '05 Platinum two-tone, she has the flared ones as well. I've thought about it a lot, and couldn't help but think my '06 would look better without the flares (don't we always want what we don't have?).

Flared rockers were standard equipment on the 2004 and newer two tone models. That is the one easy way to tell the difference between a two tone '03 or '04. The flared rockers became standard on the monotone painted cars in 2006 or 2007.
