GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

This is my 09 Vibe GT. I am seventeen and this is my first car. I would love any suggestions and help. My dad is pretty strict on how I mod my car, but eventually I want to black it out.So far I have 50% tint on front, and 5% on the back, 2 12" JVC Arsenal 3000W max subs (they hit so heavy), JVC Arsenal Amp, and OS? capacitor i believe. I just bought some black overlays for my arrowheads, and soon will buy a FlyEyes kit to smoke my tails. I also want to make the chrome on the arrowhead orange with vinyl, and tint the fogs orange. Soon I will be getting the rims painted black. Let me know what you think!

Very awesome! My Vibe is my first car as well, though I didn't get it until I was 23. You've got a fun car there. Welcome and thanks for the pics!

welcome and a nice whip you got going, im not a fan of the new vibe look but more and more i see them in the city and on here i might come over to the dark side!

You lucky, lucky guy! I had to buy my own 1st vehicle, but it made me love it that much more. This thing looks sharp tho. and on paintin the rims black. You thinkin matte black, or gloss? Anything else you plannin on doing orange? Maybe underbody leds? I'll stop interrogating you now

Hi !

Idk which do you think would look good? Matte or Metallic?

Welcome and great job posting pictures right away ! Glad to see another '09 GT owner .Check out my '09 Liquid Platinum Metallic GT. I have done quite a few small things to it which may give you some ideas for things to do to yours .It's a great car, you will definitely enjoy it.

Start a thread and post a pic showing your rims and use a poll to choose either gloss or matte and we can all vote on which we like best. It is YOUR car tho.lol. But second opinions don't hurt. I did the same with my grille.

If you really want black wheels I be there are a number of members on this forum that will buy your wheels from you and then you can get 18", 19" or 20" black wheels from tire rack. I think the going rate for factory 18's are $150-$200 each depending on condition.

my first car was a vibe too! and i'm 16. wish i had an '09 though. looks great with the tint!

Congrats and welcome!
