Very nice and welcome officially to the club. used or new? I'm sure you've done this already but get those awful dealer plates off. Oh the dealer sticker too! I like the MS rims.

Nice. You got the bling wheels on the 8. Haven't seen them in person yet. You need to get the strakes, the rotary accents, and the appearance package with those wheels and it will look like the red 8 on the accessories catalog.

I see too many oldies in Matrix's around here. Not to scare you, but there might be a rattle here and there that might pop up on the dash and one on the driver's side door. I also have a V6 solara myself and that thing is still solid at 80k along with 5 other Toyotas we had/have. Things might have been different if Toyota came out with a $30k supra but am loving the 8. Enjoy PS-pm me if you want to swap wheels.

i actually have the rotary package but the back one was missing....the dealer is replacing it...it was new but a demo model so i got it waaaay under cost....and my trix was hooked up pretty bad **** but i stripped her down before i traded it in....cant sleep on a xrs model...its a wagon shell with a celica brain and heart...im planning on getting the strakes in the near future and appearance kit....the dealer plates and stickers will be off in the morning as soon as i get a chance to get out to my garage...im keepin the bling wheels cuz i hear they are a commodity and really hard to find.....i got some plans for the 8.....gonna be subtle yet real quick.....and damn classy.....was turning heads in the thing before i even drove it off the lot!

Yeah, nice wheels, Chris. I like the chrome on them. One thing: Have you thought about removing the sunroof shield?

Stew: I was thinking the exact same thing about Automaton's avatar. Auto, is that YOU with the mullet in that picture? Awesome! :D

That is the dealer emblem (Samsone). I have when dealer's think they can advertise for free on a friggin' 30K car. It looks so awful. I won't buy a car if it has that **** all over it.
