Quote, originally posted by Mr. Poopypants Â»That is sweet, It makes it look a little more sporty.Agreed, but I should've lowered it. I just saw the PHATBOYZ toy cars at Wal-Mart, and it looks a LOT like some of those! Slightly off-topic, but speaking of toys, Matchbox has the (BMW) Mini with Union Jack top, and the latest VW Microbus concept out in 1/64th scale.

It took some major work with a sawzall, but I finally got my 38"ers to fit.

ROTFLMAO! Your 'Sawzall' Vibe' is TOO funny 4x4Chichi!Looks like something I'll see advertised in Indiana AutoRV (a regional weekly used car publication) in a couple of years! You must be ahead of your time!

Here's 'NASCAR' Vibe. I dropped the nose, put in HID headlights and fogs, and smoothed out the front fascia.

The Vibe GTO engine compartment is sorta cramped, but with 350 horsepower in a Vibe, who gonna LIVE long enough to need to change sparkplugs?

A redo of the Cherry Chop-top, slammed down like it should've been in the first place. Now it's lookin' like a 1949 Mercury lead-sled!Still needs wheels, though.

Yeah, I park mine under a big soft maple tree that makes my Vibe a favorite target of neighborhood grackles and sparrows! Gotta wash it again tomorrow!

Nice photo-mods!How about a GTO grille in a '350' Vibe to let all those big poncho ponies breathe???

Mavrik,Here's what you actually wanted - about a 2-inch photochop.

ok, not a fan of the low rider, but the 2" drop looks good

Mavrik · Post by **Mavrik** » Sat Apr 10, 2004 11:58 pm

"The low.. rid..er rides a little lower..."heh love the pics, thanks! And the first one is LOW to low for me I could be hired as a snowplow in the winter and there is no room for a body kit. (yes folks I'm still holding out on that.) But the other one looks really good with the drop.

Geo · Post by **Geo** » Mon Apr 12, 2004 11:40 pm

As requested here's mine:Lowered, removed side moldings and shaved door handles

Sweet ride! Now if we could just do Lambo doors on a 4-door!

kostby · Post by **kostby** » Sun Apr 25, 2004 3:13 pm

[Bump]I'm assuming that by now you've all seen Mavrik's post of the tricked-out Matrix with Lambo front doors and suicide rear doors in this thread:http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=9607

savedbyzero · Post by **savedbyzero** » Mon Apr 26, 2004 11:50 pm

Cleanest Vibe ever.Shaved door handles. Shaved side molding.Smoothed gas filler door.Smoothed rear bumper.Roof racks removed.No Badging.Red-out tails.Hidden exhuast.And that's about it...

Nice, just needs a body kit.

savedbyzero · Post by **savedbyzero** » Tue Apr 27, 2004 2:00 am

Body kit? Um, no. that's the point of it. looks hot without plastic.And as for the VW, EXACTLY!Some of the hottest cars, IMHO, are from the vdub crowd. I'm way more into the Euro look, than the Japanese thing.I'll take that as a compliment!

kostby · Post by **kostby** » Tue Apr 27, 2004 6:54 am

Wow! Great work I like the clean look, but I could never park it around here. The doors would have dings before I got the keys out of the ignition!

savedbyzero · Post by **savedbyzero** » Tue Apr 27, 2004 7:01 am

Nor could I! That's why I keep it in my harddrive and save some miles on it!

JustinVGT · Post by **JustinVGT** » Tue Apr 27, 2004 10:02 am

Here is a picture of my Vibe with some simple changes. I want to paint my calipers red and I may get some badge overlays. So, this is what it would look like. Oh, and maybe a VVTL-i decal, it's hard to see, but it's on the front fender.Later,

I found the original on matrixowners. The white Trix was parked in front of many light aircraft. A few minutes for a photo-chop, and VOILA, Matrix with a TAIL!

The tail makes 'hitting lift' take on a whole new meaning!

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Sun Jun 13, 2004 7:28 am

now that i have photochop elements, i've been playing around w/ different things this weekend. so i lowered phil's vibe... added some various bling bling wheels to mine to see what it looks like. fixed the front bumper, etc. pic 1: TRD wheels w/ red calipers and fixed front end! including the lower billet grills.

Fantastic photochop, Hope! It's so good, it doesn't look like a photochop!

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Sun Jun 13, 2004 4:07 pm

thanks, kostby. but as phil pointed out to me, the rear wheels do look a little too low. oh well! LOL still not bad for a photochop newbie (altho back in college i used to be decent at it for the 2 semester of classes)
