5x114 with a 40mm offset.

Are these the only two things that I need for rims that will fit right ?

Nice vibe man. me likey.

I would definitely just go aftermarket rims and lower it for starters. then go with what notallthere said.

for black out, i think that would look awesome but dont black out the head lights.

I would like aftermarket rims but idk which size fit the vibe? What is the bolt pattern, offset, etc. need to be?

Nice.

Those factory wheels are slick, by far the best I've seen, factory equipped-wise.

Get mods by the parents? Do what I did, just do it and see how long it takes for them to notice after the mods are done.

"Are those new wheels?"

"No,"

Well I would do that...If my dad didn't inspect my car every other day it seems like lol

Welcome to the site!

Vibe looks slick. Anything else in store for it?

Smoked tails, orange vinyl the chrome on the arrowhead, black rims, cold air intake, orange tinted fogs and an in dash radio touch screen. I have to get all these past my dad

but I would leave them the way they are, for stockers there good looking rims.

Also about the rims, I really want black rims ad figure that it would be a lot cheaper just painting them since they are good lookin rims

Nice Vibe. I don't know about painting the rims all black though. What about just the low spots on the rim black and see if you like it? It's just a thought.

For up grades, sway bars, tower braces, and a short ram intake or cold air.

I want a cold air intake, but I'd have no idea how to install it

html is what you originally entered for the image, I fixed it to BBcode

html image code looks like:

BBcode looks like:

Oh yea I realized that and changed it but you beat me to it lol

what do you mean no html lol? sorry i'm such a n00b

This is my 09 Vibe GT. I am seventeen and this is my first car. I would love any suggestions and help. My dad is pretty strict on how I mod my car, but eventually I want to black it out.

So far I have 50% tint on front, and 5% on the back, 2 12" JVC Arsenal 3000W max subs (they hit so heavy), JVC Arsenal Amp, and OS? capacitor i believe. I just bought some black overlays for my arrowheads, and soon will buy a FlyEyes kit to smoke my tails. I also want to make the chrome on the arrowhead orange with vinyl, and tint the fogs orange. Soon I will be getting the rims painted black. Let me know what you think!

Once I wrap it in vinyl, can I just stick it back on, or do I need to buy sticky stuff?

I also need help getting off the front arrow. It is giving me trouble because it sits in a engraved part of the front end, and I can't get a wire behind it.

Good luck with the vinyl, you'd probably have to stretch it to cover the chrome, which won't be easy... but when you do want to take it off, it's won't be a problem at all in terms of hurting the chrome, it's still a PITA... I do have a warning, as I once removed the arrowhead on my 06 Vibe, if you do use the hair dryer, be VERY careful not to over heat the paint, I got a nice little thumb print in my paint... the paint will be very pliable. Watch the edges of the vinyl over curved surfaces as well, I put a vinyl sticker over the Vibe logo and it started peeling off. I haven't put any stickers on my '09, the arrowhead Pontiac used are much nicer then the older ones.

BTW, nice to see another Jet black GT.

Any advice how to not overheat the paint but still take off the arrow?

Oh no it shouldn't at all, the sticker is strong enough to stay on for a long time but its not that strong to take off paint or in this instance chrome from a badge. All the soapy water does is enable you to move it around to your liking, won't do anything else.

Ok thanks! Ill try to post pics whenever I'm done if your interested.

Can you state that again? lol don't quite understand.

Most vinyl overlays will cover only the red part of the dart unless otherwise stated.

Yea I was going to order the red part off a sight to make it black, and then make the chrome orange by making the vinyls myself.

I was wondering if I use the soapy water and I want the orange off later, will the vinyl peel the chrome off when I take it off?

Sorry for the confusion..

Soapy water works wonders! Will allow you to move the vinyl around for a bit till you have it perfect! How I do all my vinyls

If you use soapy water though will the vinyl take off the chrome if I decide to take it off?

If your using vinyl stickers, no need to take the badge off They're called overlays for a reason, just put it right on top of the badge.

I think this solves the question?

It just really hard to get the overlays perfect without taking off the arrow. I've tried...unless you have any good methods.

Okay and I want to vinyl it with orange and black, so could I just put with back on without adding anything after i vinyl it or do I need to add something?

Somewhere I read that Goo-Gone takes off the paint. Is this true?

Can somebody please tell me how to remove the arrowhead on an 09 vibe gt, I want to change the color of it. Thanks

Thanks guys...Jedi I looked at that site, and they have some pretty cool stuff.

Does anybody know where to buy custom pontiac arrowheads with colors such as orange and black that will fit an 09 Pontiac Vibe GT

I forget I bought them a long time ago, but haven't had a chance to try to install them...I'll try to post pics later today.

I have a 2009 Pontiac Vibe GT, and I am wondering how I should and how to wire the LED lights I have purchased. There are 4 strips of lights. I am fairly new to this stuff so yea...I don't know much about it.

Any help is appreciated

Do you think orange would look stupid if I made the pontiac symbol orange and black? Or would that just look stupid all together? Ill get pics up asap

Well, I'm a kid, and don't really know how to do much with the engine and electrical (wish I did), so tinting would be easiest. Would it really be illegal if it were just on my fog lights which are only a foot off the ground.
