Not a Vibe owner but....

Hey guys/gals...my name's Dave, I am a moderator at dodgegallery.com, I have a 2001 Stratus R/T. The reason I've signed up on you board is to help out my boss. He has a 2003 Vibe. I have been looking aroung for aftermarket parts(intake, exhaust, body kit) for his car, but have been fairly unsuccesful. I found the Eibach pro kit for the VIbe, but that's about it. Now is the Toyota Matrix the same car? could I look up parts for the matrix to fit the Vibe? So if you could give me some information, or sites that would be great. Thanks in advance...-Dave

There currently isn't any body kits for the Vibe except for the factory Pontiac Kit. There is a company in CA that might do a body kit coming up soon. The Vibe and the Matrix are the same vehicle except for the body so you cannot get a Matrix body kit or tail lights or anything with the body. You can find some products for the Vibe here http://www.Ptuning.com you can find coild air intakes, exhausts and other things. Hope this helps

Thanks. So the engine bolt ons are interchangeable? I could order an injen CAI for the Matrix, and it would fit on the Vibe?

Quote, originally posted by DJones Â»Thanks. So the engine bolt ons are interchangeable? I could order an injen CAI for the Matrix, and it would fit on the Vibe?Yes and no. It'll fit for the most part, but the Matrix has a different headlight design that the Vibe. The Vibe's headlight sticks back towards the battery a bit more, which makes it a tad difficult to get the piping down into the lower body. It can be done. I believe the majority of Injen owners here are running the Matrix intake. But there is a Vibe-specific intake out there by Injen that has been slightly adjusted to eliminate the headlight problem. You can order it from ptuning.com...

I had a Matrix Injen CAI installed, no problems at all.

Actually I have a Corolla 03 intake in my car and it runs well. For engine parts the Matrix and the Corolla to a certain extent share the same parts, just gotta double check.

Wow you guys are good! I appreciate all the info. I will pass it along to my boss, and maybe you'll get another new member. I don't know what he plans on doing, but when he saw what I did to my car he became interested in options for his. Thanks again guys.-DavePS-- I've been on quite a few boards, and I think you guys have been the most welcoming and willing to help...thanks

Great news! Also run eBay item searches for "Toyota Matrix" and "Pontiac Vibe". Your boss will be suprised to find how many odds, ends, and significant items there are out there to throw your money at Oh, and don't forget the affordable way to custiomize his Vibe - vynil overlays by http://www.grafxwerks.com!
