Not sure about the dressup kits, but don't order an Injen CAI... cause they don't fit the '05s (I know, I ordered one and found out the hard way )

I heard rumor that the 05's can't be supercharged? that true? I hope the turbo i was looking into for my 04 vibe will work on an 05, if not i may have to shop around for someone who has a new 04 still setting on the lot, and I'v been debating on getting an awd this time.

As reported on GenVibe, a FEW early '05 (Non-GT's) Vibes apparently were produced with the same mechanical throttle (cable to the gas pedal) used in '03 & '04. MOST '05's have the DBW (Drive By Wire) electronic throttle, so CAI and GM/TRD Superchargers that fit the '03-04's DO NOT work on the '05's with DBW.

i've been waiting for an intake for the '05 myself. i haven't seen anything on here about one that fits without modification, but i noticed the thread below on http://matrixowners.com. neither of the folks with '05's that have ordered one has posted a follow-up yet, but i've got my fingers crossed. http://matrixowners.com/forums...42276

I'v seen some on various different sites, some in colors I REALLY want, but some were kind of expensive too.
