Welcome to the site. Looks like you have a little more than "this or that" added to your Matrix. Post some pics of your ride, I would like to see your body kit.

I'de have to say that's the only thing i don't like on the 'trix. The fenders don't go out far enough. Id'e have to get some aftermarket fiberglass fender flares and modify them. Then i would have to get a diff. offset wheels to keep it in line w/ the fender to make kinda look good.

It cost $340 and i went down to L.A to pick it up since i knew the area and avoid the extra $100 odd dollars to ship. I sold my stock front and rear bumper covers to get the kit. Although i kinda got screwed on the bumpers and only got paid half. I sold it to some guy in Canada but after the 1st payment i never heard from him again, what can ya' do.

My weekend project is to do a 2-tone paint job. Indigo ink Pearl over Bluish Black Pearl w/ a silver border to match the wheels(those aren't in the pics though). The reason why i'm painting it 'cause i took a lot of damage in the front after i lowered it and still had some fitement issues that i worked out. I since then turned that double exh. port on the rear bumper to a single exh. port on the passenger side. I took some fiberglassing to finally get 'er done but it came out good.

Hey. New to this forum. My parents bought a Vibe, and it's currently on a lease. I hope we decide to own, because I want to mod her one day. If we don't we'll probably go with another pontiac, or whatever. I kind of like the exterior of the Matrix a bit more, but I picture this vibe nicely moded, not just exterior wise, but engine wise. Hopefully I get her one day. I am currently learning how to drive, and it has been fun driving this car.
