HyperMotive Peroformance does have a design for the Matrix/Vibe ready to be built. But unfortunately our Prototyping funding is tied up in Honda/Acura parts. I know! I know. They aready got enough parts for their cars. But thats where the bread and butta is for a young aspiring biznezz like HyperMotive. But if your willing to help us! we are willing to help you. Here's the deal. We need ten orders gathered to get this bar through for prototyping and release. We will take all profits from the ten orders to pay for the prototyping of this bar and give you the top of the line parts your looking for. These bars will be $215 a piece. Yes they are pricey. But these bars ARE what the hardcore enthusiast is looking for. This isn't a flat black chromemoly, stamped steel run of the mill STB! These are 100% CNC billet aluminum products that look as good as they perform. These are adjustable fiting, very light weight, maximum performance, and incredibly beautiful products. This type of quality is normally associated and reserved for performance parts for Vettes and Vipers etc. No joke! We need 10 confirmations from customers that they want the bar. Once we have ten "go ahead" emails. Then we will collect the $$$ first. We need to know you are serious. We run into too many people that don't pay up when their parts are ready. So if your serious about putting a part on your car that is the best! And want to help get this through. Then send us an email @ jasonbly@yahoo.com or racinjason@hypermotive.net. And if you like I can setup a store button for those that want to buy throught the website!!! But these parts will NOT be started till we have all ten. It's a big commitment. But its our only option at this point in time. I figured it's better than not having an option at all. I have all the Celica customers preorder at this time as well. And every single customer that has recieved thier bars said it's well worth the wait. ETA after the ten orders are collected will be approx. 4 weeks. I will keep everyone notified here on the site and through thier email of how the progress is going and any pics of prototypes etc. If you would like I can post a jpg of the design to show you how it will look. But it will be very close to the Celica bar if you want to see a live part. There are pics on our site and even 3d images for you to rotate and zoom to give you a good idea. The End brackets AND center bar are all designed and milled. We don't just stick a piece of tubing and thread the ends to make the part, or build some thin steel bracket. We build for strenght, quality and weight. The looks are just a by-product of the effort we put into the design. We also have a rear bar in the works as well.Visit us at http://www.hypermotive.net

TTT Still looking to see if we have more interest. We have only about 2-3 people interested so far. I know you guys don't get a ton of traffic here but. It's no big deal.
Since you never posted pics, I never checked back. Is this what the Vibe/Matrix will look like? This is the Celica bar listed as $230 on the site. Real slick looking. So the Vibe's better look the same, or I'm not interested.
Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others have labored hard for.
I agree. If the one for the Vibe looks like the one for the Celica I'd be interested. The price seems right, too.

Sorry for not replying guys. I checked back for about two weeks and didn't see any replys. I figured nobody was interested. The Matrix bars will look almost identical to the Celica bars. And the price will be very close as well. May be an extra $5 due to the longer center bar. I'll see what I can do to get a handful of them made. Let me know who is seriously interested.
Well, we are in the middle of getting all new quotes from some new shops in the area. Our shop we have now are complete *******s when it comes to getting us parts done on time. They promise us delivery dates and then finish the products weeks later. And we refuse to put ourselves and our customers through that anymore. So we are working on some people that want to work with us to get parts done on time or reasonably close to it. I'll see how soon we can get this design through and some parts for us. I am also working on a replacement tie down and rear 2 point bar to start out with. Maybe some adjustable sawy bar end links for the front suspension for lowering and racing applications. since many will experience rubbing links on the steering arms like we do with our Celicas with certain mods.
Oh, this would be such a nice Christmas present to myself! Let us know how things turn out with finding a new shop to make the part.
