Show us your 'Virtual Vibe' !

kostby · Post by **kostby** » Sun Feb 22, 2004 11:10 pm

I'm getting bored waiting for spring, and there's no SEMA show withing driving distance. How about showing us all those 'virtual Vibe' mods you can do to your Vibe/Matrix with Photoshop (etc.) at no cost (except maybe a few hours lost sleep)?To get you started, here's my Vibe with virtual 22" 'factory' alloys.And some suggestions to get those creative juices flowing...A new GTO V-8 in a Vibe?A Vibe convertible?A Vibe stretch limo?A Matrix monster truck?What else can you come up with?

Nice! Thanks 4x4chichi! I especially like the purple one, since it isn't a factory color!

Here's my beast. It's still stock but I've got bug delector,windows tinted and vents. Still trying to decide what to do with exteriour. Thinking of black pin strips and want to get decals from Graphic Works.In particual black over lays and maybe outline flames. If any one has pictures of their Vibe with graphics pinstripping could you please post them as I would like to see it as that would help me decide what I want to doThanks AllBus Driver

Here's another concept, similar to a Chevrolet SSR.I got the idea from a chopped Matrix on the matrixowners.com forum.

That looks awesome. I want one... because it's so ...practical. maybe it can have a changeable mid-gate like the avalanch. hehe

Is the roof rack still functional on that Vibe SSR?

kostby · Post by **kostby** » Mon Mar 01, 2004 1:54 pm

Sure! It'd be mounted on the power-operated flip-up cover for the 'bed' underneath, like the Lincoln Blackwood(?) pickup truck. Send me your car and a virtual down payment and I'll fire up the virtual welding torch! LOL

How do I post picture of my beast? I tried adding attachment, But I get message not found on serverer huh?I guess I'm new at this as well as my Vibe

kostby · Post by **kostby** » Tue Mar 02, 2004 2:52 am

Well, I'm pretty new at this myself. I just click on 'attachment', locate the file (it must be a *.jpg to work), and click post. Sometimes I can't immediately access the image after posting when I click on the link. It takes several minutes (dial-up) before the link in my message works.Maybe one of the Moderators/GenVibe God's will see this thread and give us a better answer!

Sometimes it takes a minute for the attachment to become active.

it used to tell me i had to wait 45 seconds before it was accessible. but that was before the upgrade. now i don't know.

Well I wish bus driver would figure it out, I want to see his pic.

you got your pic of yourself to work, so you're doing something right.

I like the top one a lot. The bottom one would get lousy mileage I'm afraid.

kostby · Post by **kostby** » Tue Mar 02, 2004 10:36 pm

I'll bet the bottom one would handle 'like it's on rails'!!!

you need to do a front angle view and put "r u next" on the license plate.

WOW!I especially like the 'El Vibemino'. GM and Toyota could SELL those! The world needs a FWD pick-up every now and then. (VW Rabbit Pickup, Dodge Rampage) This one could have the AWD option, of course.

GM already made one called "TRACKER". This virtual would look cool with monster mudder tires. (hint, hint)

I just haven't had much time to play lately, so here's the latest, just a photo-warp.Possible captions:1) I KNEW I shouldn't have parked so close to that Suzuki Aerio!2) Someone left the Vibe out in the rain. I don't think that I can take it, cause it took so long to make it, and I'll never have that recipe again. OH NO! (lyrics reappropriated from the song 'Macarthur Park', for the many Vibers under 40!)3) ADD YOUR OWN CAPTION...
