Your poor car there 4X4CHICHI... mud hanging off the mirrors?BTW I think your car looks awsome, its the same as mine only mine is a base model with steel wheels and bolt on wheel covers. I wish I could have afforded the body kit, I bet you'd agree it would be the icing on the cake.

Here's a pic of mine last year. Actually, it probably looks worse right now. We've had quite a bit of snow the last couple weeks, and it's been very cold. Alot of salt on the roads.

Just after I got the Vibe, I had a custom rear exhaust made up with a Hooker Aerochamber muffler, and a Hooker canister exhaust tip. When new it looked great, but after a month or two it rusted terribly. I had even put a coat of wax on it before installing. When last spring rolled around, I cut it off and have now replaced it with just a plain exhaust pipe. The Hooker tip was also baffled which cut down the sound a little more than I wanted, so it sounds just about right now.

The red fade to the white of the snow is actually quite a cool effect!

Its no wonder cars dont last up north! I grew up on Long Island and recall people saying "They have 100,000 miles on there car" and being so proud of that. Here in Florida, 100,000 miles is just broken in

And the filthy slushy roads.....Oh man I would freak if I subjected our Monotone Neptune to that punishment.Funny part about the pic of the nasty Vibe in the Garage......I was like......Why bother garaging it...LOL!

I wish they offered the body kit in fusion orange. I thought i ordered the two spoilers but they weren't on the invoice so i didn't worry about it.

I"ve thought about the 04 rocker pannels. I don't know why the monochromatic cars didn't come with them.

My car is still brown...with the chinnook rolling in every other week now you go to bed at -28 and wake up to +7. Makes for some interesting commutes when the the snow starts to melt and then refreezes. Can't wait for summer.
