Good luck man. I've been out of work for a year now, so I know the frustration. I finally have a prospect on the horizon though.

I'm more of an indie rocker, but I can dig harder stuff. They sound very polished. Keep up the good work!

Thanks. They'll look better after I figure out how to get these installed

The main difference I noticed was the fairing eliminated the whistling from the bars. But it makes noise no matter how you shake it. Here are some updated pics I took today:

From the doors, no. But the bars and fairing make a lot of noise, even though they're the aero bars.

That was talked about several years ago, but nothing came of it. Apparently it was a little too mean spirited considering (removed) offenders also have to register, report regularly and move away from schools.

Thanks! And nothing wrong with being a little different!

Hi folks, I just joined up and wanted to introduce myself. My name's Joe, and I bought my '06 Matrix XRS back in February. I haven't done much, but I do have a couple mods in the pipeline and one project that I just completed (see last picture).
