well!! took the plunge.

YOU ALL ARE BAD INFLUENCES ON ME!!!!!

Ordered me my set of TRD parts yesterday...

FSB = $146
LWS = $146
RSB = $138

Even ordered update navigation disk = $146

Looking at the TRD 18" Split Spoke Alloy Wheel




Not sure yet on the rims, might have to wait and look around or figure out what to do with 17" XRS rims first.

My Car is just sitting in the garage, trying to put all the last touch ups and waiting for warmer weather so i can buff the new paint job. I was hoping to mod out my instrument console. I do have this optitron gauges



But this blue LED looks sharp...



Still hoping to perform some DYI like the rear strut bar, make my own version of Superchargers (Jim) UR body bars,



tempted to buy the one piece front lip but not a fan of the high skirt on the sides.. i might just do the home depot lip. lol



still negotiating for the turbo kit, i guess ill have to just do that for myself since it will cost to much for most and not much real interest. I'm going to get the car tinted once the car is ready. And comb the forum for more expenditures to perform.

still looking for a good prices for weather-tech vents and floor mats.

what you all think of this from ebay, carbon fiber dash kits.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/COROL...item5197572125

would also like to find a corolla near me with the climate control option, I would love to figure out which parts i need to convert mine to one.

well that is my to do/wish list and maybe ill take pictures when i install them to help out some mechanically challenge personnel.

Im not sure those guages are optitron though...I think the only ones that came with those was the xrs

and the 3 point bar shown is actually for the lower front and not the rear unless Im comprehending what you meant wrong

thx actually i negotiated for them, power of persuasion.
i do have xrs console and i was referring to the 3 point bar not the rear. just put a coma on the wrong spot poor grammar on my part.

If your in Danbury, CT I might be interested in buying your 17 inch Xrs rims. Would they fit on the regular corolla?

They would fit just fine.

Not a big fan of the split spokes compared to the 5 spoke TRD rims

I like that lip as well, just with the side smoothened out so it would flow with the sideskirts
