My 8th gen thread!

[jdmgen8]

So this is my girlfriends 2002 toyota corolla ce 5 speed. She told me to she wanted me to fix it up for her because i have an 88 crx, so now its my project. So far ive put my 15 inch black rota slip streams on it and got the windows tinted to 15%. Im going with the blacked out look. I also installed two ten inch sony subs in a ported box with a sony 1200 watt amp. She already had a sony head unit. I want to keep a nice clean jdm look so i want to get a front lip and lower it some, i'm no ricer. Other than that for looks we are going with black headlights and tail lights. The fun part that im looking forward to is the performance It will just be all motor, probably just mostly bolt on's for now, but thats all she really needs. I want it to look, run, and sound good.

slips look good on the car. but it does need to be lowered.

i like the blacked out look but its all just personal preference. i actually almost got a set of smoked lenses lol i didnt knw if they were legal here tho.

they are 195/60's i just had them sittin in the garage brand new. when i lower it ima go with 205/50's. i hate how high it sits rite now, way to much wheel gap.

I'm pretty sure the statements above contradict each other.

Get ready to spend a bunch of money for any decent gains.

i used the niteshades tint spray. i was going for the dark red/blood red look, not black. well i should have stopped after 1 coat. cus it darkens up alot as it dries. thats 2 coats on it now, and i will be replacing the tails with a set of oem inners, and red/clear outers. and will just leave them like that.

ebay. its listed under rear window visor, because its see thru tinted plastic. but mine got scratched up, so im going to skin it in carbon fiber. but it was about 67.48 shipped. i like it. makes the lil corolla look a bit sporty if you ask me. heres a link to it if you want one:

yeah she wants the black head lights and tail lights i knw its kinda ricer but thats the one thing she really wanted to pick out. the front head lights look like crap anyway.
