Well, I've been watching Tango Charlie's Pontiac Vibe build
thread for quite awhile. So far I've only gotten as far as a Red Green style grille block. But I was looking at the possibility of removing the roof racks and replacing them with
caps, available in a Duraflex material. The pricetag and the warning of "professional installation required" initially spooked me. Little ROI from any aero gains.
But guess what? My brothers and Dad overheard me talking about it. Then, a box shows up at my door around my birthday. It's the roof caps. Sweet!
What's not sweet is the painting/install quotes...
So I guess I have a few questions:
Could/should I install these myself without painting them?
Has anyone worked with this material before?
Would it be worth the professional installation (bros and Dad would pitch in)?
If I tried it myself, I'd have to drill holes to fit the piece on the Vibe. I would also have to hope that the dry fit. Thanks!
