My first car, 2005 matrix xr

[snowboarder202]

hello everyone, first of all thanks for all of the helpful information in the section. It's completely stock except for a trd exhaust tip. I have big plans for this car starting with Tint and a new sound system.
Here is the picture of my trix.

Seems you got the B Package with the sunroof and XRS wheels. Nice!
After the tint and audio, Drop it!!!

Nice choice man, I actually just joined this forum not even 5 min ago lol! I have a '05 Matrix Xr too but I think diff package.

After tint I'd slap some HIDs in those headlight

[snowboarder202]

HID's and ither a drop or body kit will be part 2, I'm not sure that I want to drop it that much since in winter I get strong lake effect and LOTS of snow, so i'm leaning towards a body kit.

How much did you pay for it?

It looks nice, makes me want to consider the Matrix as a first car :P

it has 80 000 km on it and I got it for $15 000 sticker price from the dealer after talking them down from $16 900, after fee's, extended warranty, and undercoating, paint protection ect it racked up to $19 000
