Suggestions for Corolla S 2010

[munozvo5]

Hi, I am new to the forums, don't really know where to start so here I go.
I bought my Corolla S 2010 on February 2010, so I've had it for about 5 months.
I love the car, but I want to get more out of it.
I want to do a few modifications, but I'm not sure where to start.

February: Stock

(Was a bit dusty that day)

July: Tinted Windows


August: Red Pinstipe
Should I keep it or remove it?

Here is a list of things I would like to do.
Window Tint: I'll actually have this done tomorrow.
Change rims: Preferably black with a red stripe. Should I stay with the stock 16" tires or get 17" Any cons for changing to 17"? fuel consumption?
Eye Lids: Which are the best kind? Best place to buy?

Any suggestions? What else can I add/change to make it look better?
Money isn't really a problem so suggest away please.

to TN! what part of Texas are you?

is yours an auto or manual? and you can get custom eyelids using vinyl or ebay. I would go with a 17" rim or 18" and it would only really hurt fuel mpg if you got a heavy rim so try to get more of a light weight wheel.

Hids
yellow fogs
ebay solid front lip
LOWERING SPRINGS or COILOVERS get rid of that suv stance!
rear roof spoiler
Magnaflow/Borla Exhuast
LED interior/Exterior
Aftermarket LED taillights (Ebay or V-led.com)
the "VW" grille pinstripping
header
intake
pivot throttle controller
underdrive pulleys
hood dampers
decals supporting TN
BARS GALORE! (Ultra Racing/TRD/Summit/Hotchkis/etc) there are 6 or them

etc. just woke up and this is all I can think of right now

all can be found in previously made threads and the 1.8l mods thread or rims thread or lowering springs thread...you get the idea

It's Automatic
I'm actually interested in the grille pinstripe, red would look great.

I should have added that I'm new to the whole car scene sooo I didn't really know what most of the stuff you said was Dx

If you can could you link me or show me a picture of what they are?

Okay, it has to stop here...
oh and look at my buddy Dim's car. most of the stuff is on there haha

there is a search function on the forum and its pretty good. so if you even needed to find anything...you can always use that

[munozvo5]

Thank you
Already found a few things I like.
Ill start with aesthetics
the windows, rims/tires, eye lids, Red Grill Pinstripe, Rear Roof Spoiler and LED Break Lights are at the top of the list.

looks like you've got some good ideas... definitely got to drop it on springs/coils. Get some bars, intake, exhaust, throttle controller, etc

will be fun watching her evolve!!

I want to get as much done as possible before Aug 20 (When school semester starts)
So I have a little less then a month.

Already found some Rims I like:



Drag DR-33
I guess ill get 17"

Welcome to TN! I'm a pretty recent member here too

If anything I started with the small stuff and worked my way up...my first couple of mods were pretty much interior lighting to LED panels...trunk lights too...then worked to HIDs...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/3-PIE...item255fe28e66

since you're trying to go for a red theme but if you're looking just for function, the seller has it white as well...looks great at night...

lol...and since money is no object for ya...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK:MESINDXX:IT

when you get it spend an extra 80 dollars and send it over to one of our other members, Shft99, and he'll set it up with leds around the reverse light...I believe Dimaoala is his most recent customer can't go wrong with him

again and let go and have fun! you could always ask anyone of us for help or opinions

[munozvo5]

Thank you, was just looking for the tail lights, ill bookmark those for later.

I'll probably go with white for the interior lighting.
I don't want to do much to the interior besides the LED lights.

I'll have windows tinted today. I'll update the first post with the windows tinted onces thats done.

Ohhh and thank you again

Yeah! Welcome to TN! I've got an S as well. What part of Texas are you in? I grew up in Houston, live in Dallas now.

[munozvo5]

Msncorolla422 asked me the same thing and i didnt answer, sorry
I'm from el paso.

[SARdog6]

Its all good.
What percent tint did you go with? I'm trying to get an idea of what to do, msn said he has 35% on his, but said to go a bit darker, thinking of going with 30/25%.

So far, I've just got a K&N filter on mine, need to buy furniture for my new apartment before I spend any on the car.

[munozvo5]

I went with 30/25, leme get the picture up.
