The orange Trix is from here in San Diego. I know the guy(Nick and Becca) and have seen the car in person many times. The interior dash is all covered in CF, the front bumper, top of the car, and rear hatch are all covered in CF. It has 20" all around, and just got the doors from like 45% to 90%! It is a bad-@$$ Trix! Custom paint, custom ICE, it is a phenomenal car!

Nice pics! Where's the Vibes?! Seems like this year's theme in Matrix show cars is "Doors for taking chunks out of the garage ceiling."

If so, that could be why Psychovibe has disappeared...he was basically just here to sell the body kit from what it looked like to me, and the Vibe was more or less just a commercial showcar. I could be wrong though.

I could be wrong though.I'm not positive, but I know they were showing their Vibe at the GM headquarters. http://www.street-graffiti.com...5.htmOverall though, Vibe turnout has been ZERO.. but I still have a couple more halls to visit before making that final decision. Only the 2 Matrix so far have been seen. I'll update more during the week.Last year's SEMA Show was impressive just due to the Vibe turnout. Maybe they're waiting to see what happens to the Vibe for the '07 supposed redesign.

Well low and behold, there was actually a Vibe at SEMA this year! Phoenix Gold had 2 Vibes present at their display in the Audio/Electroinics hall. See pics of these Vibes in the gallery.Unfortunately it looks like that is the only Vibe representation present at this show. I've just about covered the entire complex overall.You may remember that Phoenix Gold had a Vibe at last year's show - gallery

I love the Caddy. That is my dream car. But that black and white super charged Solstice is gorgeous.

Nice shots of the PG Vibes. Anything interesting in the interior of the red one? Didn't see any interior pics ('cept the cargo area).

It occurred to me late last night that the NBA Trix was converted to a coupe, so I did a quick & dirty photochop to see what that might look like.Hmmm.....

I believe that was the same black Vibe (however it looked a little different last year) from PG if you look at last year's SEMA coverage.

Too bad the Vibe/Matrix representation has droppped so much as compared to last year. I was hoping to see more for both of them.I suppose it will increase when a new Vibe/Matrix model redesign comes out.

It does seem that many SEMA exhibitors will take fairly new vehicle models from that year and highlight them. Since the Vibe has remained, for the most part, fairly unchanged, I'm suspecting if any major redesign, we should see them pop back up at that following show.This year, the main focus among exhibitors have been the sport compact segment, mainly with the new Civic Si.

They are pretty popular here this year, so it's hard to get a decent picture without someone being in the way. Also uploaded a few more misc. vehicle photos to the Others gallery.

That Solstice is my favorite too. But I do have to admit, the HHR looks good in two tone paint.

Must be a collaboration between the 2 companies to try to market their stuff as RKSport is sucking right now when it comes to the Vibe.
