Any future mods planned for her?

First just the basics, stereo w/ navigation (current head unit has a broken volume knob and a jammed CD anyway) and dark window tint. I'm also wanting to change over most of the bulbs to LED.
By the end of the year I'm wanting to get new rims and tires, we go skiing and snowboarding in the winter.

Welcome to GenVibe. Looks like someone changed out your tires/rims. Those were NOT the original ones supplied from the factory when it was new. At least not according to the original brochure. Sharp looking no matter what!

Welcome! And contrary to what Tim said,
those are the base AWD steel wheels and covers. Only the GT had alloy wheels standard. I think most of the AWD cars got the upgraded alloy wheels, so we do see a lot of them with the alloys.

Good luck with it!

Thank you all for the welcome! I have already found lots of useful information and great modification ideas! I am very excited to have a Vibe AWD. My best friend has a 2010 Matrix named Trixie that I have been lusting over for a while now lol. Now she is jealous of my car.

You should swap out your roof rack for a Matrix one. They look so much better.

I swapped out the dome light bulbs for JDM 6000k Xenon white LEDs. Made a huge difference in how bright it is inside the car now.

welcome to the gen2 AWD club
I second either going with the Trix roof rack, or just no roof rack at all

I will be using the racks quite a bit (kayak and mountain bike in the summer and snowboards in the winter), so I won't be taking them off. As far as switching them out for Matrix ones, for now I am going to leave these on here but I may switch them out later on, I do like the looks of the Matrix bars better. Thanks for the suggestion!
