I kind of am bugged about the price difference bcuz after i get the body kit, ill have to take it to a body shop to get it flushed in with the body panels and then get it painted (which i can have done by a friend). But with the carbon fiber hood, its just an install and I don't have to paint it. Im leaning more towards the hood but I am very confused. :lol2: keep in mind that my car is just a show car. Not working on engine mods until i have the right amount of money to rebuild the motor and turbo it.

Should I get this?

woohoo! gettin some feedback. :) thnx guys! I had another friend tell me that i should get the GT front end with lip like in the 2nd pic. damn it! now im more confused. lol. if the hood was cheaper, and the kit was about $150 cheaper, i could afford both. :)

Hood, not a fan of that kit. Though I do like the one in the pic with the hood.

thats exactly what my friend said. I did some research and about $250 gets me the 2 piece gt front bumper. :) i might just end up going that route since i can get the GT front end and CF hood for about $700.

The kit...meh. The front bumper looks odd. Nab the CF hood. Get some darker housing headlights too.

you should also think about getting recessed grills to

Go with the hood and recessed grills, as your car already has a decent looking body style on it :)

None of it is my cup of tea except on the 2nd pic the lip kit. I just think its all too over done for my taste but im not the one getting it lol.

yeah. i decided to go with the GT front end with the added lip (if i can find it). carbon fiber hood will be my next major purchase and then the bumper as well. Should be ordering within a month or so. I found that the 02 - 04 headlights are also darker housing headlights and pretty sure their wont be a problem installing them. I should also be ordering my ballast for my 6K HID bulbs pretty soon. everything is coming together. Now i need to find out if i want to go 3k fogs or just go with the 6k fogs.

thnx for the help guys!

Can't wait to see it once you have those things done! :willy_nilly:

I say both. :P

But seriously, go with the kit IMO.

thnx! so i tried looking for the fascia (added lip on the vibe on the 2nd pic) and OH Em GEE the site that i found the fascias on were hella expensive. lol. i found the 2 piece vibe bumper with the recessed grills. ill be paying about $200 total for the bumper and grills. :P

anyone know of a site where i can find the fascia's for cheaper than $400 shipped?

RK Sport FTW! I love the kits they make.

i was looking at that one too but i didn't like the back bumper too much. i would like the back bumper from the graphite kit with the side skirts and front end of the rksport. that wouldn't look bad at all

Mix and match! DOO EET.

Didn't realize RK made a kit for the Vibe. Very nice.

RK Sport makes a lot of nice kits. The one for the new gen Malibu, and G5 are teh secks.
