Ideas for moding my 09 corolla S

[musicman0766]

So i have had my rolla for a little over a year and a half. Now I think its time do do some mods so here are some pictures of my rolla and some of the ideas ive been tossing around. looking for opinions and or comments/ideas.

Already done:
- GPS/DVD in dash
- Aftermarket leather interior
- Red Striping on side and grill
- 5% rear 20% side window tint.

In the works/waiting to be installed:
- Paint the wheels satin black with red lip
- Red HVAC, dash, and interior lights as seen on the forum
- Magnaflow Exhaust
- OBX Sport Pedals

Thinking about:
- TRD Sway/Strut bars
- Lowing springs- driven year round though :-/
- Projection headlights
- Short shift kit and TRD carbon fiber knob
- Weapon R intake

Other ideas? Please post!!!!

Great mod list. Nice car. Suspension tweaks make some real difference. Intake and exhaust really still result in a rather slow 4 cylinder fwd car.

Perhaps saving up and going with a turbo system?

Love the seats!

The car looks great, keep up the good work! I'm not a fan of leather seats but those looks awesome! I love the red "S" in them. If you are worried about ride height or ride quality just pick up some TRD springs, they make a huge difference in the handling of the car but keep ride quality excellent. I posted some pics the other day showing the difference between stock & TRD springs on the springs thread.

Thanks for the comments so far, as for the seats I am not sure of a brand I had them done at a shop in middletown CT. called Attention to Detail. They are nice comfortable seats and pretty durable for what the are. Give ATD a call or check out they're web site, I'm sure they'll give you info. They also matched the 3yr 36,000 mile warrantee that toyota offers.

As for the suspension, I would really like to do the lowering springs, I'm just worried about snow packing under the front lip and in the wheel wells. The TRD sway and strut bars I am pretty much set on getting.

I know that the exhaust and intake wont make that much of a performance difference but every little bit helps. As for a turbo, ID LOVE ONE!! However, no one makes a kit and even if I fabricated one the problem is getting the computer mapped to tune it and get the most out of it.

And thank you for the list of threads, there's some good stuff on there.

The snow won't give you any problems & as I said before you can always go with a mild drop like the TRD or Eibach springs but they will make the car look & handle soooooooooo much better.
