I am also interested in putting in oem toyota navi.
I would imagine it would be costly compared to the "Garmins".
Do you know the range of cost you would be incurring for this upgrade?

 

I want to grt a short ram intake and rims

 

Already added:

New head unit
Replaced all speakers
Added XM satellite radio
Leather steering wheel cover
17" wheels and tires
Rear spoiler
Auto-dimming rearview mirror with temp and compass

I was going to add leather after having leather on my last 3 cars but I eventually decided that cloth is actually much more comfortable. One of my daughters teenage friends (whose family always had leather) remarked how comfortable and "soft" the seats were. Leather definitely looks better but I think I've been converted now that I've had time to live with cloth again in the Corolla.

I was also going to lower it with the new Eibach springs but they say they drop the front an inch and a half (2" in back) and I don't think I want it riding that low. If they had a set that would drop it 1 inch in back and a half inch in front I'd probably do it.

PuffyC,

How does your dash look after replacing the head unit? Looks like all these new cars have custom faceplates spanning the entire width of the dash area, making replacement of the head units a challenge in the appearance department.

Also, what size speakers are located where? I'm taking delivery of an "S" model very soon. It will have the wheels, spoiler and leather wheel. I ALWAYS do my own stereo so I plan to do this one.

From what I understand the doors are 6.5, but I don't know about the A pillar tweeters or the rear deck.

Thanks..........

 

Cloth seats are definitely better. Cooler in hot weather and not so slippery.
My last car was a 535I fully loaded leather and all.

 

A big decorative clock right smack in the center of the dashboard

 

New Stereo

Electrochromatic Mirror w/ compass and garage door opener
Dump the Turanzas for Michelin after a while

WONDER, Can you get an OEM NAV system in canada for 2009 Corolla? Or can you only get it by ordering from the state?

Wanted to get OEM but figured that the US one probably wouln't come loaded with Canadian Maps.

 

keeping it stock and keeping it for another 14 years. My son will be 16 by then and it is scheduled to his first car. Unless he wants my 03 dcab 4x4 tacoma.

 

you can only get them up from the states right now.. and the maps thats are loaded on the DVDs are for ALL of north america/ you need to get new maps ounce a year to keep it up to date
