I think ur talking about the 2003 with the red gauges . I can see mine perfectly in the daylight

 

I have a 2003 and can read my red gauges.

 

In bright daylight, especially if you have sunglasses on, they suck. I was ____ed when I saw the 2004 gauges!

BUT, the all red looks more pimp at night

-THE DON

 

i have the 2004 and they are NICE

 

yes, they are. i can read those great also.

 

I have a 4WD Matrix, nearly one-year-old now. Love it, have no complaints except that it could use more power. Great for hauling stuff, love the moon roof, handles ridiculously well in the snow and I love the look (love the xA, too. I would've gotten the xA had it been 4WD).

 

Hmm, I thought Brad's Matrix was red for some reason............

 

Would an xA with good intake, headers, exhaust, suspension and lighter than stock wheels have a chance against a base/stock matrix? Just wondering.

 

Not sure about the Xr, but not against an Xrs.

 

yeah it'd take many an xr. but no xrs unless they mis-shift

 

Does it have rear disc brakes?

 

wow, welcome back to 2005.

 

alright i have a question that prolly many of you can answer... I have just gotten a used 06 matrix xr awd auto tranny, i would like to know which would be the best and cheapest intake and exhaust system that i could get for it... uhm or if i should just get a performance chip instead?????

 

don't get a performance chip...especially not on ebay or anything. those cant be trusted. i think ingen is a good brand though. probably the cheapest. trd is reallllly good but thats a little more pricey.

 

intake-wise go injen, performance chip a big no NO! unless your talking about getting a unichip or some sort of fuel management but that gets pricey real quick, its really intended for F/I cars but i've heard stories where it helps the N/A cars too

 

Ok guys, i just purchased a 2005 Matrix Base/XR and i was wanting to know if any of you had any recommendations on immediate mods that arent costly and are like "pre-req" for Matrix Mod'rs
