I got lucky and found the full bolt-on kit on craigslist here in San Diego that had come off an XRS. It needed a little work on the back ones to fit right, but otherwise they fit and work great! B/c I got them there and used the kit only cost me $500 total and Andre and I installed them oursleves.

Quote, originally posted by Dans_03Vibe »so any airbags fit on a vibe?No, this was a bolt-on kit for the Vibe/Matrix. It was actually for a GT/XRS which is why I had some problems with the rear fitment, but after some modification, it fit fine. You have to find a kit that is made for this or build one yourself. The one I have is the Chassis Tech kit from airbagit.com. It's a fast kit.
