that is real nice man, ive never been a fan of the corolla but the XRS is one i wouldnt mind having. i like how clean it is. lookin foward to how it turns out

nodrogkam · 08-05-2007, 02:39 PM

its clean i like it.

Very clean looking. Not a fan of the bugshield though. I say lose that and later down the line maybe some larger wheels/tires (no bigger than 17''s) and slightly more drop and you'll prob. have pussy galore all over your car

a94autoCamry · 08-05-2007, 03:20 PM

maybe time for some new rims

very clean overall...good job

***Dana_15*** · 08-05-2007, 03:22 PM

I think it looks F'kn great! I'd ditch the bugdeflector for a clearbra though.

dpanda88 · 08-05-2007, 03:35 PM

nice clean XRS. But I think you should go for a retrofit and get 6-8k HID's

***CharmCityES*** · 08-05-2007, 03:36 PM

i agree with dana on the bugflector

other than that, it is a gorgeous and rare car! keep up the good work

***silver04rollas*** · 08-05-2007, 06:01 PM

Thanks to all of you for the nice comments and suggestions. Modding is a very fun pastime. At this point, it is exactly how I hoped it to be looks wise, sound wise, driving excitement wise and comfort wise. I will be taking a few videos most likely next weekend to give you an idea of how it performs and sounds at 8400 rpm.

I will continue to mod especially on the powertrain side slowly but surely.

Thanks, Dana. That is true. I have been contemplating keeping the hood deflector especially since I put the headlight overlays. I might end up taking it down and see how it looks without.

Very clean! I

your XRS!

It's barely broken in at that kind of mileage

Tuner571 · 08-05-2007, 09:15 PM

Car looks great man, keep up the nice work.

Thanks. I had driven about 12,000 KM per year. Regarding the break-in, it definitely does get to wail and scream over 8000 rpm very often.

TravisAe86 · 08-05-2007, 09:24 PM

THAT IS ONE HOT COROLLA!. i was looking into getting one also...very rare

NICE 'rolla. I agree with the others, ditch the bugshield. Unless it works for you on the highway. I used to have a long commute (45 miles one way) and on my previous cars a bugshield was nice to have. But your car looks (and performs) miles above what I was putterin' down the highway in! ha ha
She's a beauty!
