1SC · Post by **1SC** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 3:03 am

Hi everybody.I am from Quebec, Canada.Here is my brand new car, I got it last week.It's a base Vibe with the 1SC optional groupe which include, 2,4L engine, power everything, 17" rims and fogs. It also got the sunroof and the auto tranny.So far, I like it a lot. I am coming from an 05 Pursuit.I was looking for an 09 Matrix XR with Sport group, but I got a way better deal on the Vibe. I'm now glad I got it over the Matrix.I also got the GT rear wing, but I am waiting from my brother to paint and install it. I'll post pic with it installed later.

Thanks for the comments guys !For now my only mods are the tinted windows and the coming GT wing. I don't plan any other mods until at least next year.

You will still have to wait a couple of day to see the GT wing on.My brother is painting it either tonight or tomorrow night and will install it the next day.I can't wait myself.

The wing is painted, but the color doesn't match with the car (way too dark).So we gonna have to resand it and repaint it.Damn people at the auto parts store :@

Maybe they used the color code the the old Vibe's blue

1SC · Post by **1SC** » Thu Mar 26, 2009 8:44 am

I don't think so.The wing came out almost black. Anyway, it sucks !

Looks good. Lately, I've been bordering on regret for getting the GT, thinking I should have gotten a car like yours instead. I think it will look perfect with the wing on it.

At first, I wanted a white GT.But, the GT adds a couple grand over the 1SC, but almost all for look. (ie : skirts and leather seats). I decided to go cheaper and get the base 1SC, but found that this particular model looked better in blue than in white.

Nice car, I have the same color with the 1sb and will add the molded mud flaps, the rear bumper protector and the window weather protectors.I was in Lake George NY last saterday and I went to a Pontiac dealer to get those, they dont keep them in store you have to order everything too bad they lost a sale.

Thanks for the comments.The wing is now installed since last night. The color is matching this time Pics to come tonight.I also bought the 4 interior + trunk rubber Vibe mats. The dealers had to order everything.

Here are the pics of the wing as promised.Notice that all the ice have melted since the first pictures.Sorry, my car isn't very clean.

Very nice ride 1SC!I really like the cleaner look of the base vs. the GT and the wing is a very nice addition. If I were to replace my Gen 1 Vibe with a '09 or newer, I'd probably go the same route you did but maybe in a different color. Good job!PlatinumVibe08

Thanks for your comments.BTW, the color was one of the reasons I got this particular Vibe.

Quote, originally posted by 1SC »BTW, the color was one of the reasons I got this particular Vibe. 1SC,Good choice. Note that I said I would "maybe" get another color. I actually really like the dark blue. I replaced my dark blue '03 Mustang GT Convertible with my Vibe. I loved it's color but also remember how difficult it was to keep clean.PlatinumVibe08

LOLNo problem my friend. I'm coming from a black Pontiac Pursuit, so the dark blue Vibe can't be worst. I'm also doing car detailing on the side, so it's not a problem for me to keep the car clean.

looks good with the spoiler on...looks a lot better actually.
