Found this on eBay. Planning to shave the letters, then smooth and paint the whole thing. Baby steps. lol

I don't know why it won't, but I'll put it on tonight just to make sure. While still a bit on the plain side, it looks MUCH better than the stock cover IMO.

I agree, it looks pretty great. The newer Vibe an Matrix have the 2AZ-FE motor, so no reason that this wouldn't fit.
Post pics when you're done! Stoked to see this!

I disagree, the stock one looks better and the camry versions with the red lettering looks even better than the stock one.

I think the Matrix cover looks good, the Toyota emblem looks silly. You can paint the Matrix cover and put a Scion emblem on it to look right for the car.

Good choice.
