Nice vibe the GT just looks better than the base the back tint is good overall your vibe looks new I have a 04. Base I bought it in the getto it's a beater that I saved from going to junk yard I want a GT does yours have big speaker in hatch area ?

thank PAULCLASSA you, i painted my vibe, my vibe came with unpainted cladding, i did a lot of work on it,this summer i will paint the rest of it, you can see my driver side door handle i painted with silver metal flake, just like rear view mirrors. My mother has 04 base, that is why i bought vibe in first place.No i don't have speaker in rear hatch but if i wanted one that is where i would fabricate fiberglass enclosure. you can see some fiberglass boxes i made in my other posting where i introduced myself couple of days ago.In couple of years i am moving to Florida so i did not want dark color, silver is good for sun.Vibe is nice car to work on so enjoy your project.

i got the same rack for christmas this year. i love everything about it (especially the price) except that it moves way too much for my liking. will have to work on some solutions...

Mine doesn't move a bit, that anti wobble bolt pushes against rack tube and it is 100% tight.Roads we took this weekend were bumpy and tight, and with three bikes on the rack it was steady, just little springing motion.

i'll have to try the anti-wobble bolt. i had just used the standard pin previously. i wish there was a combination of the convenience of the pin and the stability of the bolt.

I know, it would have been nice to be able to take it off without tools, but hey it is nice to take you bikes across country and not worry about them behind
