Cool From out the shadows

Hi guys i liked to finally introduce myself after stalking your forum for almost a year. My name is Melvin I'm 20 years old and live in Columbia MD, I bought my corolla last year in February of 2009 so it's a little over a year old with only 5.5k miles , i know i don't drive to much since my work is less than a mile away lol. The mods i have so far are tints 35% and just ordered the smoked led tail lights. Now i'm thinking if i should go with Eibachs or Tien S tech springs just not sure which yet when i decide then i'll order them this week so I'll post pics then. But anyway here i am and hopefully i can contribute to this awesome forum, also want to thank you guys for all the information you guys put up here to help me with what kinds of mods i want to do with my rolla and other info in reference to the 10th gen corolla.

Wow, that is probably the shortest commute I have ever seen. I hope you are following the recommendations for severe service maintenance intervals as outlined in the manual.

Black S, there are a ton of ways to make that your own, enjoy!!

Welcome to TN!

I'm sure you'll find a wealth of information here.

You should start out by reading the aftermarket and DIY sticky threads at the top of the forum, there should be quite a few things that should appeal to you.

Welcome to TN! And that is really a short commute to work. I thought my 40 miles roundtrip per day to work was lucky!=) Hahaha

Happy Modding!

The recommended service should be 6 months/5k miles. For your case it should be every 6 months!
