ya dude it doesnt even have side skirts nor front lip.

me lieki

Thanks, yeah eventually I may throw a cai in there. I have some fresh paint on the car now. I'll post pics once I'm able to give it a wash and wax.

it was pretty low in the summer , i think i have a 2 or 2.5 inch tuck in the front, and a inch or flush on the rear.. ive raised because my gf was nagging me for a while so ill post when i can. to answer the paint. its rustoleum metallic pure gold, you can find it at your local home depot for 2.97. yup, home depot. and for my JDM outside cup holder, the one u see right there is 10 bucks :] minus the billiondollar pedo bear sticker on it. but i snagged a gold set (front and rear ) for like 25. also. ebay can be your best friend. haha. BUT other than that i will be parting my exhaust , rears and sideskirts soooon =0 , a shocker i know.

alright i will look for that paint. and i put an order in for the cup holder.lol i cant wait for the pics! lets see that tuck.
and why are you parting stuff out? need the cash?

i did the front one but the rear one is pending till tomorow

Looks dope! I'd do the same but I wouldn't know where to begin taking off my bumper lol. Looking forward to seeing how you get that rear one on.

dude taking off the bumper is the easy part.
there are like three bolts right under the hood.
there should be a bolt on each side on the bottom edges of the bumper.
lastly there should be a bolt on each side on the top of the bumper inside on the edge of the wheel well.
if there is anything else attached to you car i suggest just cutting them off because you dont need them.
get used to taking your bumper off cuz ive had to like a million times. i dont remember why but its handy to know how to take your car apart.

and i have some more pictures but im too lazy to post them. will probly post later next week..

thats the other ones i got the, gold ones. lol. im lazy to swap them out. i wanna see how you put your rear on. lol. i had 2 ideas. one took me 3 minutes to do. the other took 10, i went with 3 minutes cuhz im lazy :] and if u go black housing. and retro fit, you basically catch up to me. well look better too.

Alright i'll post a mini DIY on it. i dont think i'll actually be able to tow the car by that tow hook but it will be pretty solid. the metal in that area of the car is really weak. unless i attach it to the actual bumper it will only end up being for show.

as for the 8.5 swap.. ehh.. i would like to, but i dont wanna spend the money on it. In the end its only a 98 corolla. its nothing special. unless you can suggest a good way to get parts its just not worth it to me. Plus im really interested in those Ksports

remember i did front an rear tows lol. took off the rear tho. not gonna lie both for looks. but yeah. idk about the ksports. nothing else to switch to if i sell. and yeah.

sorry for the rush i gotta go to work
well it could be cash and my set up for the ksports..
and here is the rear tow hook DYI..

looking at these pics i realized my car is totally dirty.. zomg im cleaning it out soon

corollas don't need that towing hook, they go to hell and back more than Meat Loaf

The front tow hook is for cooling my drinks and the rear one is to pull other cars out of ditches

^
LOL... tow hooks accepted then

Great pics corollaGT.

Took a decent picture today.

great pics yourself my good sir. the lip is looking fantastic! may i suggest clear corners? i just ordered another pair for my self cuz i cracked one here is the link:

http://compare.ebay.com/like/230547...fe044cf&itemid=230547099388&ff4=263602_304662

are you planning on lowering it soon?? it would look amazing!

also props on the rims i read about how you had to restore them and shit.. good job. i painted mine myself. PIA to do but worth it.

Thank ya. I'll probably get the clear corners, I was also thinking of doing something with my tail lights but nothing altezza lookin'. Yes I will definitely drop it and also get the S side skirts and maybe some custom valences for the rear.

i dont suggest smoked tails for legal reasons but i know that you can find some that have the white corners instead of the yellow.. suspension i would try the TEIN s techs. i have them and they work great but im looking into coilovers. IMO: if you think the car is worth it get coilovers instead of springs. if you go cheap you'll end up wasting money. if you dont know where to get the side skirts i know of a couple of guys that are trying to get rid of some.. just post something about it. as for the rear valences you will need big money to get those. expect to spend around 200 to 350 for them. if you know of a way to get them cheaper please let me know

vamp also got rear ended 300 times cause of his smoked taillights

can you take a picture of your car from an angle that shows the mudflaps? I want to see how they look. Saw a Subaru with them and it looked pretty sweet

Well shit... I woke up to this.

The cover for my turn signal is gone... I don't know how it happened but damn what a coincidence lol. Looks like now I have a better reason to get those clears. Yes I was going to go with the S techs and I have a couple of choices for the struts.

As far as the taillights go, I wasn't planning on blacking them out either. I saw another 8th around here with LED tails that looked pretty nice, was thinking of going that route but I've had no luck finding such lights.

point proven

are you talking about mine?? and if you are i got the idea for them from a subaru too.lol

whats your idea for struts?? i was thinking about tokico blues? and i guarantee you that those LED tails you saw where fabricated. there are no such things as LED tails for corollas on the market.. im thinking about doing this as well... MAYBE.lol i like them stock too.

yep, your car. I just want a better idea of how they look..wow lol coincidence the Subie I saw was black with black/red rims and red mudflaps. sexy.

idk if youve seen this one but its okay.. ill get a better pic of them tomorrow because its already dark out where i live at now..

ok cool thanks. some more shots like that would do. Those are universal?

haha i made these from floor mats from home depot.. cost for the whole project? 10 dollars as opposed to 50+ for the actual subie ones..
They work very well too. i like them.

oh man I was thinking about doing the same if I couldnt find ones I liked. I was going to use either floor mats or a bathtub mat and cut it up, something like that haha.
