I got it at the dealer, it's found on several vehicles and it's under $20. I think the front of the 03 Vibe for sure as well as the Grand Am. It's about 3 inches long. What I did was heat it and bend it to match the filler panel shape. It's a brittle hard plastic type of chrome and it cracked along the edge in 2 places on the right and 2 places on the left, but it's so small you can't even see them. I did a write-up, but it must have been on LS1.com because I can't find it here. I'll see if I can find the part number.

komik that's the blackest T/A I've ever seen. In fact it's the blackest car I have ever seen. You're set for runnin' drugs across the border in the middle of the night or something

JDP, CE is the yellow Collectors Edition which came with a silver bird and lettering. The replacement stickers can be bought from some of this site's sponsors. I don't remember which one's exactly, I'm sure someone will say. In the meantime check out the sponsors list.

It's even blacker now than when those pictures were taken. I added a smoked license plate cover with a black frame.

yes go to the hatch, remove the rear panels (right and left), pull off carpet, then remove the wing nuts for the lights, the panel will come out with the tail lights

No, no. The Solstice has large cast metal looking badges that are ugly in my opinion. They stick out a lot (7/16"?) and can't be bent at all. There are a lot of badges out there so the choice is yours, but the ones from the Solstice are NOT what I'm using. Mine are about 3/16 thick and made of plastic.

Check out these Vibe pics.

They also have a little version on the rear.

I've had both and liked the CETA better on my car:


But I would say it depends on the color of the car and if you've debadged/have accents/etc.

Not to bring up an old thread but this is where the search landed me.


Does anyone have the steps on how to wetsand/buff the rear filler to do the blacked out look?

Or better yet, does anyone know where I can find a CETA filler panel. I dont see them ATA's site, or on ebay.
