ebay

Best bet would be finding a seller that would ship over here, but that'd still be hard.

It would be rare to find Altis Parts on eBay, but just keep looking.

There differences cosmetically and you'd have to switch to make it look like one would be:

-Swap out to CE/LE/XLE headlights
-Altis Grille (good luck finding that)
-Turn Signal Mirrors
-Altis Lip Kit
-Chrome Trunk Lid
-Lip Spoiler
-Side Markers

I have been trying to find this grill for a year and only found 1 that is not a direct fit. This is impossible to find

Back in the day when I started JDM'ifying my gen3 Camry and again with my gen7 Corolla parts were super rare. So, I simply emailed dealerships, salvage yards and Toyota car clubs in Japan, the Philippines and Australia. I translated what I needed and took help from whoever responded in English or with part numbers. Once you have the numbers take them to your local dealership and see if they'll order them, that way you don't pay shipping. All US dealers can do it, the trick is to convince them to do so or not let them know they're doing it. ...all they see is a part number and a generic description. Its not unusual for domestic parts to come from over seas. If they do look into it they'll say it won't fit your car, according to their computer it won't, but as long as your sure the part number is correct and the part fits, you're golden.

Do you need the whole bumper? If thats the case, make sure you don't also need the fenders and hood.

I'm sure he just wants the Altis grille as a replacement for stock.

Is it a direct fit?

For random parts check out grupotoyota.com.ph its a Filipino Corolla club. To translate use Tagalog, they speak English as well. Great group of enthusiasts. They can probably help you guys out on some jdm parts. ...tho they mostly get older stuff (+/-5 yrs old or so) as the Philippines imports a large chunk of the used Japanese domestic market.

I would assume it would be a direct fit. Some modification would be needed if the placements of the clips are different and such.

TimmyFBabyy · 03-01-2011, 10:03 AM

Yeah i actually found the grille for like 300 something on ebay, but im not quite sure if its a direct fit. But yeah ill keep looking. Can anyone suggest some good sites for jdm or geniune trd parts for an 09 corolla?

***FlawedLegacy*** · 03-01-2011, 10:08 AM

the true Altis two bar grill should be a direct swap with no mods needed from what i have read.

Get ready for some bad light output and cutoffs from what I heard from those projectors.

Those aren't Altis headlights by the way, they're just a aftermarket replacement.
