    Matrix Front end... Possible?

    Since the matrix and the corolla are built on the same platform, Do any of you think that it would be possible to replace the fenders, hood, lights and bumper from a Matrix on our cars?

    anythings possible... they wont bolt right up th since the matrix sideview mirrors are all part of the door and our corollas have that little piece as part of the fender... my guess is you need some x-tra steel and bondo to make it clean... i thought of doing that myself but when i saw the difference i figured it wouldnt be worth it.

    No, they are not really all that close. It would be very expensive to make it work and a ton of work. If you want a new front bumper, buy something already fitted for the Rolla :wink:
