Just look at the different thread mods. Most everything being done will not affect the warranty unless the mod can be proven to have caused the problem.

There should be an owner warranty booklet included with your owner's manual in your car that has your complete warranty info. If it's not there then contact the dealer who sold you your Corolla and they'll provide you with one.

BTW, to Toyota Nation!

+1 when a problem occurs revert to stock if you arent sure if that was the cause of the problem.

Under the law, aftermarket parts will not void the warranty unless the service dealer can prove the problem is cause by the aftermarket parts.

Not the case here in North America. You don't have to get the parts installed at the dealer and for sure you don't have to get a green light from them. You can install whatever you want to the car, the dealer doesn't have the power to void your warranty, unless they can prove the aftermarket parts you installed to the car is the direct cause of the damage. It is under the law.

+1 boy i love american laws. just the other day i was getting my oil changed and the service manager was telling me how my HIDs were illegal on the street. I told him I was getting RX projectors when i find a deal and asked him if that void the warrenty. He said only if the electrical is messed up due to anything i did. I have enough electrical knowledge to not blow up my car.
