That looks sweet! Did you paint it yourself? The paint turned out really nice. I wish they made one in Neptune so I could get one without having to get it painted.

I had it painted at the dealership. My dealer knows the guys really well in the body shop and he had them do it after hours. It was $50 to have it painted and $40 to have it put on. Not too bad if you ask me to have it professionally done.

Wow, looks awesome. I'm sorely tempted to do the same for mine, but I'm afraid that if I do I wouldn't be able to use my roof rack for transporting longer items, as it might end up scratching the spoiler.

I understand. I was never going to use my roof rack so I removed the cross bars. Looks better without them even without the spoiler.

Nick is going to buy my black one at the Michigan Meet this summer. I think I paid $22 for the silver one with shipping.

I think I heard that with the spoilers you cannot open the rear window. Is this true with both spoilers or just with one or the other?

I was there when my spoiler was being installed and we checked it time and time again before mounting it that the glass and hatch would be able to open without hitting anything. It's possible to mess up the installation making it so you cannot open it, but that would be a really screwed up installation.Quote, originally posted by trdvibe »thanks, triton! i like the silver too. plus it'd look dope like soap on a rope on my satellite vibe I think that would look good too, Hope. Are you going to check Ebay for one?

The Vibe at the Philly Auto Show had the top spoiler. NovaResource2 and I tried the hatch and glass several times, and it opens without any problem.

i believe that issue is with the mid spoiler. where it sits you can't open the hatch. top spoiler isn't an issue.

Hey Triton,your car rock man,but is missing something that im sure maybe you already think that is the spoiler pkg, side rocker extensions, front & rear fascia extensions.

I paid $275 for it on Ebay and it was brand new. It was Abyss in color. It was $90 to have it painted and installed.

It looks nice, but personally I like the way my Vibe looks for now. I may add the rest of the body kit in the future, but for now I am happy with it. Besides, I would probably be scrapping up the bottom of the front fascia too much and it would (removed) me off. I also don't like how the front and rear fascia cover the "points" on the side of the front and rear bumpter. It will probably be a future consideration.
