Looks good, I like the black strut bar.

the fog lights are a little bright for my tastes

but they look ok.

+1 on the black strut bar, I painted the one in my FC black (was powder coated white) and I love it.

I still have to take a picture of my whiteline strut bar for you guys, I've never seen another one on here.

It wasn't that expensive!

it was like $150 when I ordered it with my rear sway bar, and that's fairly standard for a brand name bar... it was a hell of a lot less then my FC's 3 point bar...

yea i got tired of staring at a silver bar when i pop the hood, it just doesn't go with blue..i think it looks 100x better black, plus when it was silver you could see the dings and grease all over it, with it black it just looks sleek and you can't really see the imperfections. plus i kinda of like the look of it pulling back to the firewall better than just straight across.

and when i get a few extra dollars im going to spray the fog lenses the deep lexus yellow..oooooo baby..

eage8, that 3 point does look good, i'd hate to see it in white lol

I have you beat... I was at the grocery store in town and some guy goes that's a cool little car.. What is it? A Ford Probe?

You know at least the guys who ask if it's a Celica are at leas taking into account it says TOYOTA ON THE FRONT :|

ae924d · 01-21-2009, 12:34 PM

no, i got you both beat..back when i had my kia, (yes a kia) it was a 2006 spectra sx and this guy i knew, complete genius too, came up and was like "DUDE! when did you get an sti!?!?!?!?" i laughed so hard i could barely tell him it wasn't. and my tires were so gone they really did look like slicks, so on top of that he thought i was track ready.

yea, i do think it is funny when that happens, but surprisingly enough so far around here the only time people actually ask me anything is "what kind of car is this???" they'll give me the fucked up looks but ive never had anyone mistake it for a different car.

Ghostyman · 01-21-2009, 12:53 PM

What type of fogs? Any pictures of how they're mounted?

Looks good.

freakinbox · 01-21-2009, 01:23 PM

they mistake the coupes for other cars because alot of people don't remember there were ever 2 door corolla's that even had flip lights... considering I think the last year they were new was 1991...
