Hey all,

Just got into a 09 Corolla S two weeks ago. Traded my 08 Tundra for it.

Corolla was used, 17k on the clock. PO installed vent visors, Eclipse touchscreen navi, and door sill protectors.

So far I have installed 6000k 55w HID lows and 3000k HID fogs, disabled DRL and did anytime fog mod. Just recieved my S techs, TWM short shifter, but have not been installed yet.

I will always miss my Tundra, but I am loving the 34 MPGs vs the 14 MPGs.

Tundra was 5.7L iForce, Sport appearance pkg, bhlm, dropped 4"/6", etc

Old truck



New car

Thanks for the welcome, during my searching the forum I believe I noticed your car had a roof spoiler. If that was you, which one do you have? I saw a really nice looking one.

to TN Tim. Congrats on your Corolla. Several of us have roof spoilers. I believe that I was the first with this style & several others have added it too.

I have the same one as Jim (above) and love it. Just enough to set it off, but looks like an option the car might have come with.



! Looks like you will fit in nicely! Can't wait to see your progress!!!

Jim, Flawed,

You're right, that one looks great. Which one is it?

Flawed, Are those S. Techs? Rather, are those the 03-08 springs? I have those sitting next to my desk waiting to install.

Keep doin what you're doin. Its a good lookin car.

Didn't get to the Tein S Techs today, but got the trunk liner out so it will only take me a half hour when I do pull all the tools out.

Did the red pinstripe tucked under the bottom lip of the grille, GTI VW style.



Also debadged the rear today

Since you're going for the black out, any plans on smoking tails/reflectors?

Definitely kicked around the idea today about pulling the reflectors and smoking them out, but I can't stand it when things don't match and I am not sure if I want to smoke the tails yet. I like your set up, but I think I would do the inverse of what you did (smoke all but clear reverse). Only thing about that, it looks like the reverse lens isnt clear, it has a pink tint to it. I wish it were completely clear.

Edit again, I really like you and MR2s red out lights.

That spoiler was my first choice but after waiting for three weeks, they finally told me their machine was broke so they couldn't make the spoiler. I advise contacting them first before you order. I didn't know how long it would take because they didn't know when it would be fixed, I end up going with this one.
