Well I drove the few hundred miles to Long Beach CA to see the show, and it was quite impressive. I had money burning in my pocket because I heard that they will be selling things there. I didn't buy a thing because there wasn't anything there for the Matrix. All the manufactures said they are working on it ie. HKS, Greddy. Anyway, There was a couple of Matrixes (I don't know how to pluralize it) on display they all had 19" wheels and HUGE brake kits, and one had a nice catback exhaust. That was about it. I spoke to the Eibach Reps and they told me that they make the coils for TRD. Buying Eibach Pro coils may save you some money (1 1/4" drop) Well that's about it sorry if this is long. I thought you guys might want to know. By they way the Chicks were SWEET!...db

Other commitments kept me away, my Matrix may be in the next one tough. I heard today there are Matrix cars all over the road up in Canada. It is a hot comodity and I am sending out sponsor packages very soon on mine, alot of work going into the packages, hope it pays off!

RAAMaudio: Too bad to couldn't make it in time for the show. You'll blow them away next year though. No pressure :wink: Yeah, quite a few Matrixessesses (sp? ) up here in T.O. Everybody from gramps to little Johnnys got one.

Thanks Guys, I have a Red XRS 6-speed. I wanted to get the silver, but Matrix are so damn hard to get, and I couldn't wait. The first mod is diffinitely going to be coils. The car is TOO high. It look so cool with just a 1 1/4&quot; drop. As soon as the CAI comes out that will be next. Then the exhaust, when other makers come out with them.....db
