Body parts from other models

Hi. I was wonering if the rear spoiler would be able to mount on the rear of an 05 Corolla LE ? also, are there other body parts from the other Corolla Models that would help make the 05 Corolla look a bit better. I was considering whether these parts could be taken from totalled cars and put on the 05 LE.....or would aftermarket be better??? Cheap is preferred! Thanks....I know there are a bunch of questions in here..thanks.

Yes you can mount a spoiler on your car, any exterior body part from any 05-08 corolla can mount up on yours correctly.

If you want to make your corolla look a bit better, you can find the OEM "S" Lip kit, make sure its the 05-08, not sure if the 03-04 "S" lip kit would go on, I'm sure the 03-04 front lips won't go on because they changed the front bumper cover in '05. You can also change your headlights with the 05-08 S headlights or the 05-06 XRS headlights, it would give it more of a sportier look.

Guys please correct me if i am wrong! :facepalm: :thumbsup:

Thanks. Thats what I'm looking for. Anybody else have ideas along those lines....The Corolla is a really good car just want a sportier look.

our '05 corolla is a LE and it does have a spoiler.

i have been told by at least one dealer part rep that it must have been a dealer ad, but the holes in the trunk deck look factory punched rather than dealer drilled. also the "third eye" brake light on the shelf in the rear window is blanked out in what looks to be a factory manner in favor of the brake light that is integral to the spoiler. seems like a lot of work for a dealer to go through just to add a spolier. so i believe it to be factory - i could be wrong.

see my posts under "05 corolla spolier mounting" for trials and tribulations regarding finding correct mounting hardware after a body shop botch a reinstallation as part of an accident repair.
