My Custom Corolla, need feedback.

[RussianBadBoyLB]

I got my Corolla last year as a lease, its just the base model. I' am planning on refinancing the vehicle, so that I can keep it. Once I do that I' am planning on adding a few things, just cosmetic wise, I do not want to mess with the engine. All I' am planning to do is trow in 20" rims, add the lip kit from S model, chrome grille, performance break disks and calipers for the front, and possibly swap the drum breaks for another set of performance break disk and calipers, lowering kit, and a nice touch of HID lights. Heres some pics of before and what it will look like after. I just need some feed back on looks, as well as possibility that this might actually work without fabricating anything. Thanks

Yikes...

Smells like somethings burning... Rice?

I think what he is going for is the VIP look, I don't think it looks ricey at all. Good luck getting those 20's on though even if they do fit the ride quality will be very poor

I agree, it does't look ricey. Just dont go and put a fartcan on it. I have an LE so I dont have the lip kit but I did paint my side skirts flat black, body is barcelona red and I think it looks pretty nice.

The first picture, stock, looks nice. The others, not so much. Not a fan of the excessive chrome grilles and huge rims that just don't suit this car.

I was thinking about painting my sideskirts black aswell. Do you have any pictures that i can see?

[blacken]

it has a club cruiser vive to it
i kinda like it
althoe just do 18" think someone on here managed to put 20" on it very ehhh split desision

[got-rice]

Are you sure you wouldn't just turn the car in and get something else perhaps?

[khoacalacan]

I agree with blacken, 20" may be too big, 18" is what I have. On teh side note, the rear brakes are drums for the Corolla S, not disk brakes unless you're getting a XRS. Just my 2 cents.

I love your photoshopping skills btw :O

Go with the Chrome grille, bro. I have a similar one on my LE and everybody loves it and most importantly I think it looks dope too. About a week ago when I was at a stoplight and guy pulls up next to me in his camry and wanted to know where I got my grille. He thought it looked hot as well.

Ebay has them for cheap.

[fasttimesNY]

I have the same K&N also and love it, I could have found it a little cheaper on ebay, but I wanted a valid warranty so I got it at here. K&N 63-1546, or you can try one of the vendors on the forum here, you can usually find a good deal that way as well. This was very easy to install and I love it.

Thanks, lol I love photoshop. I' am into computer graphics cant go one day without it. haha
Maybe 18's but I really would like to lower it, I do have the drums too, but shouldn't that be an easy swap?

[mmasse]

I would do a search on the drum swap but I think it going to be a lot of work. Johncal might know what all this entails.
