GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

I'm about to buy a Vibe 2005 and there is only few accessories that I want, such as Molded Splash Guard, Hood Guard & Bumper Protector.I don't know, if I should buy that right away, including these items as part of my car contract, maybe use that to get a better deal (I will probably finance it thru GMAC at 0% for three years, since they don't offer a rebate for those who will pay cash otherwise).First, should I get the GM one (for Splash Guard, Hood Guard & Bumper protector, suggested price in Canadian dollars of $44, $55 & $63 respectively), or try other brand elsewhere ?Now, I got Splash Guard on my actual car, Honda Accord 1991 (front wheel only, since the rear portion was black plastic bumper), I want to know, should I install Splash Guard on 2 or 4 wheels.I guess, the suggested GM price of $44 CDN is probably for two, isn't ?Now, I'm thinking that a Bumper Protector could be of some use (won't hurt, could save a scratch or two) for people that will be loading & off loading a bicycle for the Vibe Cargo bay. Do you think so ?I never had a Hood Guard (and the front portion of my Honda Accord Hood is full of paint chip, rust spot, etc.), so I want to try this Hood Guard hoping that it will help in that regard.As far as carpeting, I think I will buy a roll of commercial carpet and lay it over the entire area (maybe glue a Velcro strip on the plastic floor and Velcro strip on these carpet, if someone has done that, please send photos or reference).Thanks in advance.P.S.: I'm still hesitating in buying that Vibe (will it be reliable, I heard of paint problem, was it in 2003, and now (2005) it is fix, is it costly to operate (not the fuel, I know) & maintain (part price reasonable ?)), what about selling it in 5 to 7 years ?On the other hand, judging by the review & owner comments, that does not seem like a bad deal (there is definitely worst, and not that much better, I guess that the way I should look at it). If it was not for the fact that it is a Japanese Car (at least all the mechanicals components) in disguise, I will not even had set foot into a GM dealership.One last thing, should I get the Wheel lock (for my mags) from GM as I get my Vibe or there are better one out there (Canadian Tire or some place like that).

Actually I bought my hood deflector from my dealer in Blainville, the "Perfect Fit" model. Was not expensive at all, I believe I spent around 75$ for it but it is worthwhile if you do alot of highway.I would get the accessories from the dealer, the price sounds right, and like Salsa! said any problems bring them back to the dealer.
