Matrix Top spoilers.

Post by Celtic_Curse »

Okay I've been looking at the the rear of the Toyota Matrix and I am starting to wonder if the very top lip of the Toyota's Hatch is the same as our? It looks awfully close to dimensions that will match our vibes, has anyone tried to lineup a MAtrix aftermarket spoiler to their Vibe to see if it would work? Width wise it looks the same and correct me if I'm wrong but it opens the same way, I think it might be the same except for a liitle cosmetic difference.

I think the major problem you would run into is the Vibe's roof rack. I was looking rather closely at the Vibe on display at the Philly Auto Show (with Scott "NovaResource2", formerly known as "NovaResource") and you can see where the top spolier has little "notches" cut out so that it can clear the roof rack when opened.

Well there goes another idea, I sappose you could probably get a body shop to put in the notches, but the price would negate the purpose, I guess I'll have to settle for something else. Anyone know of a good wing that will fit our cars except the factory ones?

anything other than a shopping cart rail that you see attached to so many ricer cars, something factory looking would be great.

Checked it out and found out the matrix back window thingy at the top is slightly different, oh well maybe I'll go custom instead.
