GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

OK, I know I'm probably overdue to make one of these. To be honest I was kinda lazy, and this month has been hectic, and now it's like -33C so even less incentive to wash the car and take candid shots.So instead I'm resorting to using the various shots I've taken in the past for this thread.I do want to mention that most of the mods I've done so far really aren't that visible from the outside. With few exceptions I really do want to keep the overall illusion that the car is stock.Thanks to Debbie for nominating me for VOTM. Sorry I couldn't put more effort into this, but here we go.

Here's the "Birth Certificate" from NUMMI: This is the first shot I took of my Vibe about 2 days after I bought it.

Here's a side shot after I applied the GrafxWerks overlays on the badges.

At this point I've also already instaled the window and hood deflectors as well

Here's a side shot of the badges with the GrafxWerks overlays at night

Here's a rear shot of the GrafxWerks overlays on the badges, 3rd brake light, and inlays above the plate

Here's a shot of the same at night

Here's a shot of the rear with the newly installed upper and midgate spoilers. This happened after my rear ending accident so the inlays at this point are gone.

Slightly angled shot of the same but outdoors

A passenger side shot with the spoilers

A drivers side shot with the spoilers

The tip of my MagnaFlow catback exhaust system

The resonator of the MagnaFlow. In this shot as you can see I'm using the included clamp, however I've since had it welded

Here's a shot of the TWM bronze shifter cable bushings

Here's a shot of the TWM short shifter during the install

Here's a shot of the short shifter completed install with the weighted stainless steel knob.

And finally a shot under the hood.

As you can see the Cosmo CAI, the Injen billet aluminum engine covers and oil cap, as well as an Optima RedTop battery,

This is my auto dimming mirror with compass and temperature display

And my ScanGuageII

The Unichip

I didn't photograph the install. Seemed pretty mundane, but here's what it looks like in the box

Here's a "winter camouflage" shot

Nice pics looks good. Just need some different shoes and you're set!

Is there any chance you can get a sound clip for your exhaust?

[QUOTE=Herb]I have a couple clips on this thread:http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=29385[/QUOTE]Thanks, sounds awesome!

I decided to replace my Autodimming mirror with one that has a hidden display and HomeLink

DC Sports CS-2 strut tower brace

iSimple IS31 Universal Radio Input

Well it looks like all my attachments on the Zeroforum version of GV didn't make it through the conversion.

I've gone through this post and uploaded the photos so my Garage thread now has photos.

It's a good thing I had most of the files I originally used, and I still have my original photo files I can re-edit as well.
