Looks good! Now all you gotta do is get that machine on the ground! It's gonna start thinking it's a 4x4!

thanks! yeah, i know...but i am broke for a while now. i am just skeptical of payin $200 for for springs and then another $200 for install. i wish i hd the tools, space and resources to do it myself. but...all in time.

My father did mine for me. Came home last Christmas from visiting the in-laws in Canada and saw my Vibe sittin' on the ground with a big bow on the front and Eibach info on the seat! He said it was surprisingly easy. Find a friend who's mechanically inclined, by him some beer and have at it! It's well worth it and the handling improves dramatically! You lose very little ride quality as well!

Nice....the spoiler isn't that bad! Thanks for the pics! Btw, what color overlays do you have?

quote:the maaco paint jobs seems ok, the colors match up well enough. First off it looks GREAT... I agree with some of the comments that the Mid Spoiler is starting to look pretty good (growing on me)How would you rate the paint job though? 1-10 based by your comments it sounds like you are at about 8 to 8 1/2.

Yeah baby! I dig it! Now I can't wait to get my car back (see: http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=5042 )I hope to get it tonight, will this day never end!!!!

That looks bad (removed)!!!!!

That looks pretty nice!

Meathead: Do you have any far-away shots of the vehicle instead of all closeups?Looks good, I might have to do this now, lol!

lol not my thing, it makes the vibe look like a space ship or something . (dont listen to me...looks cool on ur car )

I like the mid spoiler, but I don't know if I would spend another 500 or so to get one after putting the top spoiler on mine... I'm probably just gonna buy lowering springs...

Looks real good, getting hard to decide if i want the mid-gate or the top spoiler. The top spoiler would be awesome if it just stuck out more. It is so close to the roof and hugs the rack too much. But it was probably pretty tricky to fit it on there and still be able to open the hatch and use the rack on top.

Looks awsome, I am thinking of getting both top and mid on my vibe as soon as I get my paycheck. Vibe without a spoiler the back kind of looks plain. But I got a question for you. Is that the dealer's spoler ? I don't trust some others, might not fit well leaving gaps.....

The spoiler has a little indentation in it so that you can open the hatch... it's really easy to fit

Meat, looks good. MAACO did a good job matching up that paint pretty well. my next project: TRD Springs.

Definitely a plus. Now you need to drive down a dusty road and get someone to follow you with a camera. I'd like to know what a single mid-spoiler does to air flow over the car. It would be great if it eliminated the usual rear vortex that slows a flat-reared car down. KSNeptune

yeah, ill post some maybe later this weekend when i have time to take them. i need to wash and wax it first. i need updated pics on my cardomain site too

quote: But I got a question for you. Is that the dealer's spoler ? I don't trust some others, might not fit well leaving gaps.....heres what happen....trdvibe bought the spoiler package from a dealership on the internet because some guy that bought a vibe didnt want it. so she bought it off ebay from them. she decided she only wanted the top spoiler, so i bought the mid one from her. to the best of my knowledge it is a factory one. seem to fit great

Ok, I hate to sound annoying, but dou have any side profile shots? ^_^I'm liking it more the mroe I see it, I just wonder if it would still work w/ my Bones rack...

didnt i already post a side shot of it?

Aye, ya did! However I was looking for more of a entire car profile with the rear wing, to see how the wing completes the entire look of the car.don't mind me, i'm just picky

its cool, well i just got done taking pics today. ill try and post one here sometime soon for ya

quote:I like your signature there Meat. thanks, geo gave me the idea, his was pretty neat too

quote:I'm liking it more the mroe I see it, I just wonder if it would still work w/ my Bones rack...I agree. I was not a big fan when you posted the first pics, but the more I see it, I really do like it.

it looks really good, Meat. I like the spoilers one or the other. I think having both makes it a little overdone in the rear.

quote:it looks really good, Meat. I like the spoilers one or the other. I think having both makes it a little overdone in the rear. yeah i agree. i think the top spoiler would looke ven better if there werent a roof rack. thats why i wanted the mid spoiler......

quote: i think the top spoiler would looke ven better if there werent a roof rack. thats why i wanted the mid spoiler......agreed, but i was hoping to help keep some of the dirt/grime off the back window. it sorta works, but not that much.
