Howdy. Purchased a used '05 Abyss black Vibe in December last year. Bought it from a Subaru dealership that got it as a trade in from an older lady who only drove it 4-5 miles daily for work and obviously took really good care of it. Was always garaged and serviced at dealerships.
It had 36k original miles and still the new car smell. Now it's got 45k on it and smells kinda like a dog, cause of my lab mix :D

I don't have any images of it when I first bought it, but since then I've been adding things to it to make it my own. Like the bullet shaped antenna, front bug shield, yellowed out fog lights and the rear mid deck spoiler I found on eBay already painted.

I haven't gotten any latest pics yet, but I visited Pick-n-Pull a couple times and managed to find the OEM roof rack cross bars off a '03 Vibe, the different center console and the OEM leather owner's manual holder/pouch. I took the cross bars to work, sanded them down to bare metal and powder coated them.
I've also added rear mud flaps and haven't gotten around to mounting the front ones yet.
New aftermarket wheels are in this Vibe's future...as soon as I pay it off.
