is it possible to get those spikes at the top of your window like how some tCs have and some Evos have? they look interesting... otherwise does anyone know where to get a rear window visor?

The roof fins on the Evo work as an antenna as far as I know. Might look a little strange on a Corolla. I can get you a rare OEM 7th Gen Corolla rear window visor if you're interested:

The spikes or (shark fins) some call them are antenna's for some BMW's which only carry one, on EVO's and SUBARU's which have them lined right across the rear window are actually ther to create a wind vortex to create more down force on the wing in time attack cars and track sprint cars from what ive read about them. Mostly cosmectic or style for road cars tho, in my opinion they look odd on a corolla unless you have it build for track with an aggressive bodykit. the rear visor as kiwi has shown are more sutible for the corolla, but it comes down on what you prefer hope you get to show us pics of your ride someday.
Am I misunderstanding the fitment on that or would it make a 7th-gen look vaguely like the picnic-table-visor 2nd-gen Celica Supra? :D

^ Yeah kind of like that. Here's some pics of how it would look:

The EVO Vortex Generator is actually functional, channeling airflow to above the rear spoiler to maximize the spoilers effectiveness, generating maximum rear downforce.



It would look tacky on any other car. I laff at the stupid looking imitations I see added on to base Lancers all the time.
