Looks pimp, goes nice with the rims.

If I can make a suggestion, maybe a custom grille painted the same colour as the rims, minus the Toyota badge. It would look so slick.

Thanks guys, I need to drop it and it would look better. All my mods will be soft and suttle.

I will be repainting them though, I'm not too thrilled with my masking job. I'm trying to figure out what to do with the grills but I might not worry about it. I've heard that TRD might have a grill kit coming out soon.

Looks great, job well done..

You should consider lowering very soon though, that's one of the only beefs I have with the Matrix and the new Corollas..

The car looks good too..

I have the TRD springs sitting in the garage. I don't wanna put them on until I'm completely sure I want them or I want to get the TRD coilovers. I really need to drop the car soon.
My only other thought is that this car really needs 19x8's. Those would look perfect. The TRD wheels are 18x7.5 which still look nice but they are tucked in a little.

Looks awesome! Kinda like the SE versions of the Camry eh?

Just curious, how did you remove and reattach the lens? Just with a heat gun? Did you reseal it or just use the old glue on there?

I baked them in the oven!!!
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees, then turn off. Put the headlights in for 10-15 minutes. By then the epoxy will be warm enough that you can take them apart. Repeat the process to put them back together.
