New pictures of my mom's 03 matrix(some new stuff to it) - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Well my dad finally got some new 17" rims for my mom's matrix so he also put on some TRD lowering springs and fender flares on it and I must say that just makes it look so much better. The wheels are Finn racing F106 wheels and has Yokahoma AVID V4S tires 215/50/17. The car now has TRD lowering springs, TRD front and rear sway bars, TRD strut bar and the wheels for suspension. With all the the car really handles nice but it really isn't a rough ride with all that. Sure you can feel some more bumps with the new stuff but it still really isn't that bad. I am now trying to talk my dad into getting the TRD supercharger for it. Anyways here are the pictures:

This last one is a before and after shot of the wheels, lowering springs and fender flares.

Yeah the center cap came with a whole bunc hof different color stickers on it. My dad just put the red sticker on it last night which actually makes it look a lot better.

Note! I have the Fender flares as well, one got broken soon after I got it long story, well anyways just lowered my ride and did the changes to a new set, and underneath the old set there were alot of buildup, dulling the colour of the car, and a few dotted rust spots.
So you will need to be vigilant, and remove and clean the areas i'd say 2 to 3 times yearly.
