Post by 09vibetrix »

Hello proud new owner of a silver metallic 09, 2.4l 6 spd. auto vibe here. Been looking through and reading many of the posts, great site to find out much info about the vibes. I probably will have many questions for some of you vibeologists so thanks in advance. Will try to get some pics up here before long first off will be getting tint done in a couple weeks then well I dont know?? There are some sharpe vibe pics on here.. gives one many ideas of what they could do. I have never been into doing any mods on my vehicles but might do some now? hence the many questions I will probably have, just wanted to say hello...

Hi, welcome to GenVibe! Greetings to a fellow Kentuckian!I, too, didn't really consider doing any mods to my car when I bought it 7 months ago, but several of the great folks on GenVibe have convinced me to go for some (HIDs, K&N intake, etc.).Well, one I would do right now, if I could, would be a carbon fiber ram air hood, if anyone would make one for the 2009-2010 body. (I wish!)

If the aftermarket folks don't come thru for us, that sounds like the way to go, Michelle. I love that G8 hood!

In the style of the Pontiac G8I would totally buy that hood if someone made it!I am going to have to do some searching... I remember reading on another forum some time ago that there is a company in the Chicago area that will make custom body kits, etc. Maybe we could get them to do a hood!*EDIT* Found it! The company is called Glass-Tek and they are located in Naperville. Obviously they make fiberglass stuff. It's worth a shot to call them and see if they do "custom" stuff. Maybe they would be interested if we could get a few people to commit to buying one...

Then forward the responses to the manufacturer. I'm definitely in for one

Well, we should probably find out first if they even make custom one off stuff, then go from there . No need to start a new thread only to find out they're not even interested .
