Here's the latest update =)

Got tired of the dark black tinted look so I retinted the whole car.  Used 40% vkool all around and kept the 70% vkool on the windshield.  Very expensive tint but well worth it.  Blocked out more heat than my previous double layer of 20% and 50% together.  I was worried about the greenish look on a black car but came out pretty good I think =P

Custom retrofitted with TSX projectors color modded and using minigun shroud thanks to HIDILLUSIONZ.  I think I might be the first 09 Vibe to have custom headlights =D  I missed having HID's so much.  Much improvement over stock halogen and it's finally fun to drive at night again haha

The reason I am making a page for my new car is because I like this car =)  I liked my Honda Accord that's why I made a page for it.  I didn't like my previous car, a 2002 Maxima, so I didn't make a page =P

So I had a 2002 Maxima SE which was a cool car and great power.  Loved everything about it except I hated getting 17-20 mpg.  Traded it in for a 2009 Pontiac Vibe GT back in September =)  Great little car.  Going from a 255hp/246tq car to a 158hp/162tq car I was a bit worried about having lack of power.  Boy was I surprised.  This little car drives great and has great torque.  Actually feels better than my Maxima haha  But anyways, here's some pics...

Here's when I first brought it home all naked with no tint...

First thing I did was get it tinted...35% madico onyx all around plus 60% huper optic on whole windshield and 40% huper optic on sunroof, plus a second layer of 35% on the rear since it felt too light =/

Hey.. nice vibe gt. How much did the TSX projectors cost and how much modification did you need to do to the headlight assembly?

Thanks man. You Vibe is sick. You got to be the first one with a retro-fit. I gotta say man your old 6th gen was sick too. OEM lip kit, Retro, CLS mufflers haha you did it right man. Were you part of V6P? Anyways good luck with your Vibe, what other mods do you have in mind?

For the moment my only mods are chrome side rocker , carbon hand brake cover and tinted window's ( 50%-35%-25%)and 6'' on the top of the windshield . I've already buy the GM windows visor but i will wait this spring before install it because the temprature is to cold here to fix that correctly on the car . I project to buy 4 new brake ( 4 drilled and sloted zinc plated disc and 8 good quality pads ) . I check on ebay for carbon dash kit to put over the silver plastic dash of the vibe . Sry for my english You can't imagine how big y wait the return of the heat to take some picture and perfectly clean my car !!! I hate winter , i hate winter tire lol .
