well i posted a month ago that i went to check out a 92 camry v6 se 5spd. i ended not buying it because the owner lied about the mileage and it was in a severe accident...the carfax said it was in 2...

well now to my story today!

okay well today i went to check out a 99' corolla le. it has power everything including sunroof. it's a 5spd, green exterior, and a tan interior. when i first saw it, i fell in love with it. it ran very smooth. i bought for 3.6K with 120K miles. now my question is: what do you guys do with your corollas? i've searched for engine swaps and upgrades but seem like no one has done much with these yr corollas. right now, im just going to get a carbon fiber trunk because the trunk has a dent. any info would help! thanks!

What do you want the car to be?

You're pretty much limited by your budget, or you can do a complete tune-up and keep it stock as a reliable daily driver.

i dont know yet. right now, i'd like to drop it, put some rims, get a carbon fiber hood and trunk, paint the car black (next yr), and some new aftermarket headlights. i've been looking for 3 yrs to find a le with those options i've listed. it's real hard to come by. im not into the modding and making it go fast or anything. i want to keep the engine stock and just use it to go back and forth to school and work. i also want to save gas. i dont know much about these corollas but they sure look nice though. btw, this car is for my wife.

It all depends on your style and what you want your car to look like. For slight engine and exterior mods check out these web sies. --sportcompactonly.com--&--slickcar.com-- If not, ask me i can absolutly find what you want for your rolla.
