merz, where's a pic w/ your engine cover? all that red's gotta match and be seen! how's it match up in color? pretty close?

looks great welcome to the CAI family.

Thanks! I'm proud to be in the family. I'll hopefully join the grill insert and exhaust family by June! (removed).Yes, the color matchs up almost exactly Hope. I don't have a digital camera so I have to wait until I go over my dad's to take pictures. I hace to re-paint the battery tie-down. The paint got jacked up while I was moving it around during hte installation.I'm buying the grills off Ebay this Wednesday! Hurray!

Congrats bro looks good! Do you love that sound

man oh, just a few months ago, merz was bone stock, now just look at him >the merzmobile has been modded

(removed)...yeah, say goodbye to the merzmobile. It has graduated to "slightly modified" level. I think my baby likes it too

so, how did you get your mom to let you do it??(p.s. to everyone, this is drunkevibe's first drunken post!)

She doesn't know. She drove it once ot the store the day after I installed it. She comes home and says "man I love that cat". I said "do you like the sound of it too?" and she said yeah it sounds great also! and I told her I just disconnected the black extension tube from the intake box. This morning the intake was humming and making the loud vacuum noise it normally makes when you first start it up and she said she wants me to put the extension back on (removed)! She wont know. She's only driven it like 5 times since we got it in 2002. now the exhaust may be a little harder to hide. I think she will let me buy it though.

WooooHoooo welcome to the CAI group, love that sucking sound...engine bay looks good too.

definately=)

Looks great! Is that the Injen CAI? I was calling a couple shops about the Injen and they only had prices for the XRS. Does anyone know if the Injen for the XRS is compatible for the GT?

If I remember right, you need to trim down the pipe on the injen on order for it to fit on the Vibe GT. Injen is supposedly designing one for the 04 GT. I just ordered the Cosmo Short Ram. I should have it on Friday. It'll be a fun weekend!

No it's not Injen, it's Cosmos. Very nice CAi. I am satisfied.I ordered my grills today! How long should it be until I get them?

Cool man!! Looks killer. It makes the car sound wicked doesn't it?? Wait till you get a cat back system, you'll love it. I like the red accents on your engine also. I did mine in red to. Lookin killer man keep the mods comin.

what is that caution sticker on the engine there rod? Mine doesn't have that...

Hey, Rod, where did you get that engine tie down? I don't particularly like the stock one. The paint on mine has already scratched off. Your engine looks awsome man.

They come with a sticker that says something about the air filter having oil on it, and not to throw it away because it's bad for the earth. Blah blah blah

I'd be more concerned about throwing the fitlter away because I'd have to buy a new one, not because of the environment lol.

The caution sticker is a joke. I will post a pic but I want to first say that it's just for fun and I don't want to offend anybody and if I do I'm very sorry. The battery tie down I made from 1/4 inch stainless rod and some 18 guage sheet stainless. I shaped them on the bender and sheetmetal brake at work and then TIG welded them up. My friend Jerry polished it for me. I didn't like the stock tie down either Merz. Though I did make the stainless one the exact same shape as the stock one!!! Hummmmm!! I guess I liked it a little!! Here's the warning sticker pic.

Hey depending on the cost could I get you to make me one of those bad boys?

Quote, originally posted by merzbow »Hey depending on the cost could I get you to make me one of those bad boys?yes, rod! if you make these, how much would you charge? because i'd be interested too! in fact, for some of our more ingenuitive members that know how to make or manufacture nice parts like this, if you are interested in making and selling them on here, i'd post something up in the for sale forum. i would definitely be interested in a nice looking battery die down like that as well as your spiffy roof rack removal kit!

Roof rack removal? I would kill to get these roof racks off!!!

I didn't make the sticker guy's. I bought it off ebay heres a couple links to the sellers items http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...32895 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...29420 There cheap and look really cool.

I was actualy talking about making me a battery tie down if I paid you
