Talking First mods to Matrix! :)

Hey guys!

Well yesterday was a beautiful day so I decided to give the Matrix it's first hand wash. Decided then to take a few photos to show off it's first few modifications!

So far I've done the following minor changes...

- Deactived seatbelt reminder beep (this sounds like a ticking bomb)
- Debadged 'TOYOTA' emblem from rear hatch
- Tinted License Plate Covers
- Toyota Hood Deflector
- Toyota Rear Bumper Protector
- Toyota Side Window Visors

Few more things on the way incl. Window Tint, CompuSTAR alarm/remote starter, Toyota Front and Rear Lip Kit, Toyota Sunroof Deflector, and a Toyota Cargo Liner.

It's honestly never getting dropped. This is my all year round driver. I already have my go-kart of a Celica. It's nice driving this thing around after bouncing around in my Celica for a day! LOL But seriously, it would be idiotic of me to lower something that is going to be winter driven so she will remain at stock height!

seat belt reminder is a bitch. My moms Mazda 3 has it, and I dunno. it's great to wear a seatbelt but if you're just moving the car or going down the street its a bitch.

Car looks good.

Nice ride .

If you're afraid of a low drop, just get either eibach pro-kit or turd springs, they both are 1.2" drop all around .
