My Corolla's evolution

Well... As I said in my presentation thread, I bought a 2011 Corolla 3 weeks ago. I'm a car freak, so, I couldn't resist to make some mods on it. I don't want anything crazy, this car it's gonna be my daily, that's why the engine will be completely stock. I just want some clean mods and a serious stance that's it.

So far this is what I've done... not much, but I like it, hope so do you!

















Chrome killer



little wrinkle there... I'm gonna solve it this weekend



Mustache! hehe!





Fake wheels, GTFO!



See you!



Less is more



Good bye!



Tomorrow I'll go to some shops looking for the vinyl for my tails...

Thanks for watching!

No offense in anyway, but IMO (In my opinion) your rear chrome bar now looks like a giant uni-brow

You could have used a grey CF instead of a black CF, that would have looked better IMO.

This is exactly what I said almost 3 years ago. My Corolla is so much more fun though after suspension & power mods. If you are a true car guy the bug will hit you too.
