Redifining Perspective By: Mykee Di

This 2003 Toyota Matrix grabs attention like a two-year old kid at a candy store, or that hot neighbor who jogs in front of your house all the time and makes you drop your coffee so you can run and get a glimpse. Though most would just shrug a Matrix as a grocery getter or just another car to get to point a to point b; Pat has more than re-shaped the image of it. Compare it to any other matrix on the road and this one will stand out bar none.  Who would have known that a matrix can have such an aggressive stance while maintaining a classy and clean look; dressed like James Bond for a black tie event; this matrix’s tuxedo consists of a SVE IMAGEWORKS lip kit, complimented by its snazzy foot wear of Blackfleets V810 wheels in 19x9. The suspension consist of  Tein SS of a 7th generation Celica, giving it that laid back yet aggressive stance, kind of like that cool short guy at the bar  with  the charisma and the sex appeal of a porn star.  Halting this rolling stone is a set of Rotora BBK 4 pots also from a 7th generation Celica.

Inside, like any good spy, it boasts an array of goodies. Pat said goodbye to his stock double din and replaced it with a “carputer” touch screen system capable of internet access with custom bezel surround. To provide sounds like that of a world class symphony, an Elemental Designs five-channel amp was added coupled to front component speakers; to make you feel the music two 10 inch slim subs were tucked away to give you that “oomph” when listening to your favorite music. An array of Junction Produce products was also added to the interior to give it a plushy yet oh so classy feel. Privacy for the windows is provided with Junction Produce curtains all around.
 Seven years in the making and this beautiful work of art is still being refined and evolving. Can't wait to see it unwrap its cocoon next season. Great job Pat!
Let the visuals begin……
Much thanks for Sweet 'n Low, Pat, and Rayn for the visuals.
