this pic is in the pics thread. Does anyone know specifics about it? how big are those rims 17"? how much of a drop is that? is that the TRD lip kit? its the best looking rolla i've ever seen.

I want that grill for my car, but it has the older front end, so too bad for me.

If I could find an AE111 Sprinter grille that fits the 01-02, I'd probably make the effort to debadge the trunk. But it's hardly a priority for me.

lol, that isn't a home depot mesh grill?

It's a low-resolution photo, but it looks like the "TRD Sport" grille to me.

Probably a DIY mod (i.e., Home Depot grille) - the grille on the 8th gen is not a separate piece like on other generations. It is moulded with the bumper cover. But many have cut out the grille and backed it with a mesh. TRD logo is just wired into the mesh.

I've seen that Corolla before but the owner escapes me. CF hood and looks to be 18" wheels, as they look a lot bigger than the 17" wheels I've seen on other 8th gen - 18" is also the largest you can install on the 8th gen - according to Toyota. Looks like a TRD or Tom's body kit - but I don't remember a gap between the bottom of the bumper and the lip on those kits. Could be a custom job.

It's most definitely a DIY made grille.

TRD didn't produce much for the US-market 8th gen aside from a lip kit.

It doesn't matter to me, because I don't have an 01-02 front end yet lol.

me neither

ilovecorollale · 04-24-2011, 10:31 PM

so is an ae111 sprinter grill able to fit????It seems almost quite identical.

fishexpo101 · 04-25-2011, 02:59 PM

^^^ Nope. USDM grille is molded to the bumper - you'd have to cut out the existing grille and "make" the Sprinter one fit.

ilovecorollale · 04-25-2011, 06:37 PM

Yeah i know i would have to cut out the oem one and make the sprinter one fit but i dont suppose that anyone has ever tried this before or similiar to this besides i did see a red corolla somewhere that was able to fit an 09 camry's grill onto it.
