Corolla 2004

Just got a 2004 Corolla with 56k on it. I am looking to do visual upgrades to it any ideas?

You'll need to do what you think looks good.

I'll give you my opinion, but it's probably not what you want to hear, because I think body kits and tuner wheels and slammed suspensions look silly. I prefer to focus my money and energy on performance upgrades (but not always "go fast" parts).

For example, I changed out the stock steel wheels for a set of alloy wheels from a Prius. They're the same size as the stock wheels, but they're 6 pounds lighter each. That's a big weight savings, and has improved handling, ride, and economy. They do look a whole lot better than the hubcaps, but it was their performance benefits I was really after.
