GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

Mariachi's vibe updated

Nice to see more pics...I like those wheels too. Just curious, why the backwards vinyl letters on the right side? Just being creative, or didn't want to mess with your logo design? Either way looks good

i wanted it to look flush. it was my sponsor's idea. it wouldn't have looked good the other way. Kinda made me sad but it still looks good. Thank you for the compliment. my rims sponsor hooked me up with the rims for real cheap with tires.

how did you get sponsored?

yo mando good to see you got the new pictures up over here on Genvibe bro looking forward to see all the stuff you said you got coming up for the vibe but like I said bro tint that bad boy hahah

ya you know i gots to tint, black out tail lights, and the blue underglow i have sittin in my closet. lol. Anyways, as for the sponsorships, one of my best friends sells rims, tires, and some accessories and he sponsored my whole car club. Also the graphics sponsor I met off of Myspace. He was barely starting his decal, graphix company about 2 years ago and offered the sponsorship to us. I accepted and we went over details. Now he is opening up a performance, body, accessories, and audio shop so he will now own 2 locations. I have helped him out with promoting his business and now he is growin big time. Check out http://www.midnightunerz.com and the Wright Signs tab will take you to his web site. I can't wait til the end of this month because we will have a full ride sponsorship with some him and get discounts on major stuff.

I promised you pix with models, so I got pix with models.

Lol man I dont care how hot she is, but I wouldnt let ANY chick climb all over my car!

i got pissed when the girl stood on my car. i was taking other pix and then noticed that. i was fine with the girls sitting but the heals hurt me!!!! Next time, we are going to make a hidden platform where the girls can stand on. 2 of our other show cars had some dents too. the orange tib in the background and the white celica had a heal scratch. but thats what modeling is about though. uniqueness. but NO MORE ON TOP OF CARS!!! I ALREADY TOLD THE GIRLS.

ok. so i have been working on the vibe trying to make it look good. i really want to take care of the looks first since i am teaching my wife how to drive and don't want the performance until she knows how to drive. here are some new pix. enjoy and please feel free to comment. just took these pix today.

thnx. well i moved from TX. i used to live in brownsville and then moved out here to chandler/Mesa AZ. been out here since Aug of 05. i also try to wax the car once every month. I have to do some more buffing soon though. i am also working on my sound system setup right now so there will be more to come.

Looks way better. And as far as what you said about not wanting the performance yet, take it from me, you can throw on all the parts they make for the vibe outside of forced induction, and you will still be getting passed by a minivan filled with a soccer team.

its about time bro so was it what i told you that you car was making that noise?? and the drop looks sick!!! why did you take off the graphics man?? ill hit you up sometime man

yeah. hit me up sometime. anyways, it wasn't what you told me. the freakin bolt fell off of the endlink for the sway bar. dude.... i was freaked out!!!!! and we were usin air tools at that so this time i used an allan wrench to hold the center and wrenched the hell out of it. lol

DANG!! thats crazy man well at least you figured it out with out any major damage to the car

yeah i know. i am sooo glad that was the problem. you know what.. i didn't even have to do a wheel alignment. well i am going to get it checked out anyways after i get my new tires.

Looks tons better without the graphics. (i know i'm kinda late on this one)

lol. thnx.

what you guys think so far?

we are still not done. still have some more to go.

looks like someone is def going to be having some fun!!

yeah bro i saw this on your myspace it looks freakin good bro good job man very clean

i have had several opinions as to what i should wrap it with. I was thinking Blue carbon fiber vinyl wrap on the inside and a grey suede on the outside but i dont know if that would look bad with the suede. any suggestions?

Looks awesome! Just hope you don't get a flat tire.

i knew someone might ask that. I am actually going to get my custom exaust soon so my stock muffler will be out. I am going to have a custom bracket welded onto the undercarriage where i can mount the spare tire on. It's gunna be a pain but i was told by one of my buddies that it can be done.

Alright. I have made tons of changes to the MTZVibe and here they are! let me know what you think.

here are some updates of the car.I was playing around with an extra team sticker that i had and figured i would just slap it on until my matte black stuff comes in. Added interior neons and dome 8 bulb LED's. had to modify the dome light mount a bit to fit the led's.still working on the bracket for the TV but its all wired up to the playstation and everything functions perfectly with a 400w power inverter.Crappy pix taken from a car show i attended in feb.cut out some CF sticker into the front bumper dart emblemmy 2 first place awards i have gotten so far.

messed around with the home depot lip kit. lol. doesn't look too bad actually.

I think that looks pretty good!

thnx! i wish i had the bumper that the grey car has on your siggy. lol. that would look even better.

yep. and thats just the price for the fascia's. i saw that website already. im thinking about going to certifit and getting the 2 piece 04 front end and then seeing if i can find a wrecked or broken down vibe to get the fascias. thnx for the comments on the lip. its actually foam not plastic. you can hit that anywhere you want and wont come off

Yeah the fascias aren't cheap. I'm on my second set lol.

dang that sux. what happened to the first?

Mr. Muffler decided to throw it on a drive up style lift, and ripped the front right off lol. After a lot arguing, I was able to get them to pay for it. What a pain lol.

oh yeah. i would've as well. those aren't cheap pieces to just easily replace.

You should submit your car to Domestic Driver Magazine as a Readers Ride for the May/June 2010 issue! http://www.domesticdriver.com we would enjoy having your car in the issue!

new decal looks nice. I like that you went matte black. You got taste!
