I was set on the Hotchkis TVS Kit for awhile. Then I heard about the Tein S-tech springs and how they lower your car with out depreciating the ride quality. So.... I need some advice. What do you think the best spring is out on the market today, that gives you an awesome ride quality and good lookin...

Thanks for the replies guys. ...... I think my next mod will be push start. Tell me what you think.

I was think'n hotchkis was the way to go, but now i'm reconsidering. Tein is sounding better.~Kevin

Well actually I am. I'm going to send them to the same guy. He has'nt done them before on a vibe/matrix, but he does the conversion on the celica. He thought it would'nt be a problem.

Thanks man. That definately helped.

Which Tein: Htech or StechWhich ones are closer to a hotchkis drop.~Kevin

I got the cluster back today. I have attached some pics. To answer some questions: I went with blue, stock indicators, and stock green blinkers. Look at the pictures and tell me what you think. Peace.~KevinP. S. I am extremely happy with how they came out. I would definately do busness with this guy...

Sign me up!! Shadow/damronjr,I will really be a this meet. (crossing fingers) ~Kevin

Kari, I appreciate your brute honesty. You have a good point.BUT!!LUVROK,You are exactly right. I too have seen wings and things that are ugly and cost way more than a beautiful blue gauge conversion. Thank you both for your interest in this thread.~Kevin

Thank you Mavrik. Exactly, very tedious and time consuming. I think it's a well deserved labor price.

I found the thread on here. About the "look at this instument cluster" and then I went to the original thread on MO.com. This guy that converts these for us and the trix guys is awesome. He knows what he's doing. ..... When he first put the pics on MO.com people where all like: "Man t...

DrifZ gunmetal w/ luster lip (chrome).And about the primer adhearing to plastic: There is a product out there called "Plastique". You spray this on first, then primer/bondo, prime again, and then last: paint color, clear. They can get it super smooth, just takes work.~Kevin

Great idea. I thought about doing that. Because my wheels are gunmetal w/ chrome lip. Good luck.~Kevin

I'm glad both of you guys understand. Maybe some other time.~Kevin

Hey! Sorry I've been very busy. Car is apart right now. Don't have any bumpers or side moldings on, No gauge cluster either. I've been driving around like this for about 4-5 days now. I can put the bumpers back on (NO PROBLEM) But I don't think it's a very good idea to drive without my gauge cluster...

I'm going to be in OKC the 20th-23rd. Maybe we can meet up then. I might even be there one day earlier, it depends. Let me know.~Kevin

We could probably meet up. You're the one moving to Dallas, right? I'm about an hour north of Tulsa and about two hours north of OKC. Just give me a date and I'll check my schedule, COOL? ~Kevin

All in all the service cost 150.00 and then I shipped my gauge cluster with the help of the UPS Store here in town and shipping for that was almost 18.00. So, all together it was about 170.00 dollars. But that's just how much I spent. You guys could probably ship for a lot less depending on where yo...

Thanks man!! I sure hope it turns out well. I'll be sure to keep everyone updated.

Ponca City!! Wow. You were close. I will be sure to keep everyone updated. You should read this: http://matrixowners.com/forums/-t54911.html There are some awesome conversations and detailed pics of his work. Read all 7 pages it is worth it, I promise. ~Kevin

I will be sure to post plenty of pics. To: josholiver1It's not hard. You ship it to this guy in Las Vegas he does all the work and he ships it back to you. See!! LOLAbout it being all blue. I think it will look 110% better. I am keeping all the indicators stock. (blinkers: green, cruise: yellow, bra...

I read the threads about the new led mod for the matrix and vibe instrument cluster. It looked soooo sweet I put my order in today. I'm so excited. Soon my gauges will look like this... Tell me what you think~Kevin

Just the other day I decided to take off all my cladding (rhino skin). I am taking it to a local place in town to get it all painted satellite. I will finally have what I've always wanted, a monotone VIBE. Once I get it all finished I will be sure to post some pics of before, during, and after photo...

Only trying to help the headlight problem.Kevin

Oct. 28th. Heck yes I want to join in. I'm a new uncle, and Dallas is where my niece is.I'll hang with fellow vibers and see my beautiful niece.damronjr:Thanks for the "Welcome".Kevin

Alright. I talked to my Pontiac dealer here in town. And he told me how to override the daytime running lights. "While the car is totally off (no key in ignition) click the parking brake up ONCE." This will then override the daytime running lights. Thus, allowing the car to not have the li...
