Well I'm the cheapo of this bunch...this is what I've hidden from the wife so far.1. FD strut bar $160.002. MoMo shifter $903. MoMo door sills $804. MoMo shift boot $805. MoMo racing Pedals Free6. Tinted Windows $4007. Toucan Eurolites Free8. My wife not finding out...priceless.Total: $810 Canadian $10 American.On a Serious note, I've allocated about $10,000 over 2 years to get the car where I want and be able to show it.Biggest allocation will be a turbo either twin or single..already started pricing it out.As soon as my Home theater is complete I'll be focusing more on the Vibe.

FOR all of you that want a borla exhaust and an Injen CAI, go to the website http://www.ptuning.com...They sell a package that come with a borla exhaust and injen CAI for $515.....it is for GT and Base models. I should get paid for advertising this person's site all the time lol. BY the way the most important mods for me as of now would be:-underbody kit-----------------------------------------------------$80-Audibahn: two 12inch "Q-sound" subs, and an untake amp---$1000-front strut bar-----------------------------------------------------$80-New mirrors (faded)--------------any one know where to find some? -=Paul=-

Definately, thats a fine idea lol. I should have thought of that. Although I was kind of hoping to find a pair of chrome mirrors, or maybe even carbon fiber.
