I personally would get rid of the front license plate mount since it's just a vanity plate .... the clean look of no plates is better. I would also would take off the roof rack. But all in all ....... I love the way of the car looks .... awesomeness!!

Its a vuteq type B and only for 03-04 bumpers. Vuteq cleared out its inventory long ago, so you can only find one used...

I'll look around because this just looks amazing, thanks!

back when 9th gen corolla .com was still up and running the owner of that car posted a lot of pictures from photoshoots/meets/etc. I saved a bunch of them to my computer, I'll post 'em up here for you all to see and revel in the beautiful styling choices he's made for his car. I love this guys car, if only I lived in an area where driving a car like this was safe haha.

I don't exactly have his express permission to use the pictures, but I'm not sure if it matters or not, he posted them so does that make them public domain? i dunno... enough of this tangent, here's pics!

again, I'm not sure how long these pics will stay up since I don't know if I was "allowed" to use them or whatever. hopefully everything's OK though.

That Corolla looks sick!

Gonna have to keep my eyes peeled for it on the road. Looks like the owner lives in San Diego too.

Personally I think it looks like crap. I see people drive around all the time on lowered rides like that with their sidewalls all chewed up and their tailpipe melting their rear bumper and rattling around.

For racing I get it. For driving on the road I don't. There's no way it can be comfortable and personally I wouldn't want to have to sweat bullets every time I pulled into a driveway not knowing if I was going to bottom out or rip off my body kit or bent my rim in the process.

It just makes no sense to me at all. I know life isn't all about being practical but sheesh!

I will say this though at least that car looks professional and not like the hack jobs I see all the time around here!

It's all show and no go, just a 1zz automatic with cosmetics.

what the owner wants is all that matters, not everybody has to like it. also, even a 1zz manual with all the bolt ons is still slow, still slow and had all that money put into it... at the end of the day it's still just a corolla.

that guy has pneumatic suspension (air bags), so i dont think bottoming out is much of a problem for him unless he doesn't pay attention to the road.

Why is this even brought up? The car is an automatic, its a 1zz and it has cosmetic done to it. I just described +90% of Corollas...

See I didn't know that.. I just figured it was driving around sitting that low and bottoming out on everything. As I stated before it looks like that one was professionally done and as much as I dislike the appearance of it I have to appreciate that!

What I see around here (in the midwest I guess they are all trying to be California copy cats) is kids slamming their cars down onto the ground and tires rubbing the inside of the fenders - tearing the tires up and destroying the fenders. I've pulled many in the bay before that wouldn't even clear the rack and when I turn the steering wheel all I hear is SCCCRRRRRAAAAPPPEEE (that's if I can hear it over their fart can mufflers) yet somehow they think it's cool!

Not trying to be a jerk but I love failing their inspections for having painted lenses, cold air intakes, PCV elimination filters, missing mufflers and cats, and steel cord hanging out from their tires from either rubbing the fenders or due to uneven wear from never getting the alignment right after dropping the car! I also used to be able to fail them for having tinted windows too but we don't inspect that anymore.
