Yuck! Not my thing at all! It looks confused! Am I a rally car or caution light or a matrix?Would prolly take a fair bit of work to get it to fit. Is the rear bumper just a lip extension or does it replace the whole bumper? I feel like that would be the toughest part to deal with. The way the two attach is complete different on the sides where it meets the body. And nothing looks worse the an ill fitting bodykit...Be adventurous! Find a good body shop that does custom work and go for it!Just wouldn't be on my car.

Not bad something to look into. Custom body kit would be very expensive but would also be the only one alike.

I evo set up 02-03 toyota matrix EVO-5 side skirts and rear bumper look way better than the GM set up. and the kit will work on the vibe as the matrix has the same rockers and lower rear fasca just the front on the matrix and the Vibe are completly different.

so is the rear just a lip? if so, then you could probably get it to fit. but i'm pretty sure that the entire rear bumper is different between the two models. ours has part of the fender flare. the matrix doesn't.

the rear is an actual bumper replacement. and the vibe and trix are different. our rear lights are in the lower bumper while the trix lights are in the tail assemblies. you could prob still get that evo 5 kit and w/ some adjustment and conversion, make it work on the vibe probably pretty easy... much like fookyman did w/ the mazda 6 kit.but, would still be nice to have one that actually was made for the vibe in the first place. i want a FULL bumper replacement, not just a lip.

I like the back and the sides. Front isnt too bad.
