Just...stunning

It looks awesome!

Very nice!!!

Nice pictures, everything looks very clean and subtle. I've seen you post a few times over on 9thgencorolla.com my username on there is FallRiver_RollaS. I was one of the few 05+ supercharged 1ZZ and sold that and picked up a 2zz XRS.Do you have any future plans for the vibe? I thought when I got the XRS I would only buy a few things but that never happens lol

When I first got my Matrix I vowed that I would not mod it. That vow lasted for about a year then the mod bug bit. As for my next mod, man that's hard to say. There are a few things that I would love to do (i.e. rear wiper install, rear disc conversion, forced induction) but I'm currently up in the air as to whether or not to do them.

Edit: Updates made to Mod List and Pictures.

I got the plate lights for free from a friend. They work well but could be a bit brighter. I'll PM you some night pics in a few days.Quote, originally posted by rmckinjr »It's a very pretty girl.
