Hey, new here. Just wanted to post some pictures of my friend's '09 Corolla S. Did the "photoshoot" over the weekend.
Couple cosmetic "mods" (fogs, grill, black emblem, "corolla" emblem delete)
If you guys have any questions, feel free to ask
ENJOY!

I like the red trim around the grill, I was going to try doing that also but I couldn't find any pin stripping thin enough. What size did you use? or did you paint it on? Have you had any problems with it peeling? It looks like the special edition XRS that was shown awhile ago, very sharp.

I just came back from Home Depot and they had no idea what pin stripe is nor do they have any

That looks really good! The red strip along the grille looks great!

Thanks for the feedback guys!!! My friend's going for a black and red theme and loved the Corolla "XRS6" edition at the Vancouver Auto Show. When he got his Corolla few months ago, he thought about a Black and Blue theme, but my other friend took that theme, so he chose red.

Thanks for the invite!!! I'll actually have to ask my friend about it since he's the owner of the car. Hopefully he'll want to.

They're basically vinyl strips/decals. I don't think home depot sells them, try some auto supply/auto parts shop like Canadian tire. They sell a roll of the pinstripe vinyls for like $4-5. The only "hard" part about doing the pinstripe is taking the inner grill out ( a "billion" tabs ). It's better if you take the Inner grill out , it makes life easier and you'll get the job done right. If you need help taking the grill off, just ask

Just as a little help, it's always best to do photoshoots in the early morning or at dusk. Prevents a lot of reflections in the paint. Though black is one of the most difficult colors to shoot.

Nice looking rolla!! The pinstripe is magnificent. If anyone knows where to get the stuff, please let us know. Your friend also needs some rims badly!!!
