Hey guys, new member here. Ive visited the site many times for help on my car and finally decided to sign up since I have done some work to it. I have a 2003 Vibe gt 6 Speed. I put a Spec Stage 2 clutch in it, after I bought it from the dealer with a toasted clutch. I also recently just got a few parts for it, Injen CAI, Magnaflow full exhaust, and Tein (green) Lowering springs.

Here are a few shots of my car.

I was wondering if I could get a few answers off of this post while Im typing....

1. After changing my CAI my throttle doesnt have the same response, and it boggs down badly sometimes.
2. What is the name of my paint color on my car? Where could I get some touch up paint at? Local automotive paint shop??

Thanks guys

Welcome to another Mustang guy! A good friend has a 86 GT also. :D Nice looking Vibe. Wish I had a manual in my Vibe too. I miss driving my 5.0, and the manual would make the Vibe a bit more fun!

Looks like the 2003 dark grey color is Shadow. There should be a code on the glove box I think for the paint, but any GM dealer can order it from the VIN. I ordered touch up tubes for both of our cars that way.

Just checked my son's car, and his code is the last one on the glove box door.

And I just found this little jewel, a paint code and part # list:

Thanks guys! I can tell this site is already going to be a lot more friendlier than all the mustang forums I am used to. I plan on picking the springs up early tomorrow morning. I am hoping to get the exhaust and springs on this weekend sometime. I am also going to get my windows tinted with 30% tint next Wednesday. I am also thinking of doing a short throw shifter, and LED headlights. I am trying to go a different route with my vibe then I went with my mustang... If I did the same to my vibe I would have no interior what so ever except the 2 front seats... :D :D

btw, sorry for the double post on the board. :o

Welcome ;) Nice ROOMY garage you have there and it looks perfect for working on the average car. Engine stand, glass bead/sandblaster, smooth floor, well lit, no clutter, etc ...... Can you tell I'm a bit jealous :roll:

Oh and the car ........... Nice Vibe. From the looks of it you'll have NO EXCUSES for this Vibe to be off the road. If/when maintenance is due you'll have the right setup to "git er done" :lol:

I hate to say it, but that is only half of the garage too. I unfortunatly just moved and now only have a normal 2 car garage, which is occupied by all the tools and my mustang that the Vibe stays in the elements now.. :roll:

Hey, 86. I think you double-posted this. I answered your paint question in the other post with your pics.
Steelies to the rescue.
