Well in the past few weeks there's been a lot of corollas out there (especially the white ones) in the area. SO I decided to do a mod to keep mines apart. Its probably been done, but just wanted to show you guys. LOL I didn't intend for the ricer look or anything, just something clean and simple. Here it goes:

Hope you guys like it. I will need to get some bumper plugs also.

P.S. Does anyone think that this mod will block off a lot of air to the engine? May be a stupid question.

There is a large gap between the bottom of the bumper and the radiator. Put the plate there will make little to no difference on the cooling system.

thanks leanburn for the info. Does anyone know what size I should get for the bumper plugs also called "plastic pin" or something like that. Read that I can find it at Lowes or Home Depot. Any ideas?

Try the dealer for the pins so you can get an exact color match. I don't think it would look too good with black pins.

huh interesting...

Not worth it if the plate frame holes have already been drilled. The extra holes in the bumper just don't make it.

lincolnskilz · 07-15-2009, 01:33 PM

There was no drilling needed, just flipped the license plate frame upside down and slid it into the lower grille. and ziptie the bottom for fasten. ta da

Svrajam · 07-15-2009, 11:04 PM

Looks stupid and pointless, especially with the zip ties.

I would mount it to the extreme right like WONDERBOY did.... it looks kinda weird just a bit off center IMO.

***Zembonez*** · 07-15-2009, 11:24 PM

Different is cool... You have nothing to worry about in the cooling department. Plenty of airflow from the remaining openings.
