ok well in august of this year i got a 1996 corolla with 156000 miles on it stock with a roof rack! it looked kinda funny! so took it off! here is a pic of how it started off!

then i took my hub caps of and painted my steelies black so here is the pic of during and after!

so i got tired of the ugly tan color my corolla had so one day i went to walmart bought me ten rustoluem primer paint and start to sand down my car and primer it!

so yea one night i was chillin with my friend ethan and we started acting stupid so i drifted the rolla and hit a curb and this is what happen

fixed the wheel got a new alignment done and car was back to normal!!!
made a cheap are intake low budget!

tinted my taillights

painted my trunk black

ok here is where the real fun begins i started to do a rustoluem paint job about to weeks ago and i also fixed all my dents,(bondo is not fun if your thinking bout doint it be prepared for ALOT of sanding!) here is the most recent pic and its coming out really nicely! im doing a dark charcoal grey which to me looks really nice! also this saturday im buying my 15" wheel and getting them high gloss painted red along with my toyota sign from the back! also this saturday i should be getting my lowering springs i ordered so i will update you on whats coming up

ok well if any advice on any ideas i can do to the rolla let me kno and i will take it in consideration! thanks

Do us all a favor the next time you post pics and actually rotate them so they're lined up properly right side up.

It hurts my neck just to look at them.
