New Corolla - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Persian Scarface · 02-23-2010, 01:46 PM

Hello all
Yes, i am new to the forums, and new to toyotas if you may. My corolla story is somewhat random, and long. Im not going to tell the whole thing, because im sure not many would care, but basically I had a Nissan Maxima, and the next hour i had a 2010 Corolla S. Very random. I wasnt happy at first

, i was supposed to get a G35 coupe, but this economy happened

. i thought i was going to dread owning one, but over the past week of owning it i grew to like it. Only thing ive done so far was tint, but i plan on doing some tasteful, but no ricey mods. Anyways, i just wanted to say hey and post some pics of my car. See you guys around.

the corolla definitely is no G35 coupe... but its a pretty damn good car...

what % did you tint your windows?

Persian Scarface · 02-23-2010, 01:52 PM

20% all around

ekimnal · 02-23-2010, 01:54 PM

damn... thats pretty dark....

Persian Scarface · 02-23-2010, 01:56 PM

yeah, its 20%, but a darker shade. the place i took it to has tons of different tints and shades. its technically 17% to get all technical about it

Dark tint looks nice, 25% is legal here so I will probably go with that, anyone here have pictures of the White Corolla S or XRS with 25% or 35%?

you gotta go dark on a light colored car, and the opposite for a dark colored car.

idk whats legal here, but its what i have is definitely illegal

and legal is nothing close to what i have over here

Old age happened. Canadian winters can be harsh. I ended up demodding it and trading it in for the Corolla.

Persian Scarface · 02-23-2010, 02:44 PM

yeah same here. maintenance was just getting way too out of hand. plus being broke in college wasnt helping out either. so i traded mine in for the corolla too. atleast this way, all i have to worry about is gas haha
