Quote, originally posted by Mr. Poopypants »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!

"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.

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!

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!

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)
