    well it doesn't matter what car you've got (obviously) as long as you can stick with conversations, however off-topic. Of course, having a cool Corolla/Toyota is a huge plus :D

    ^haha the good old days of trying to fit non-compatible parts onto the car.
    going back to press, i thought his car would never look good b/c i thought that roof was permanent. However, the car looks fantastic now

    most of it ok except the red calipers. Those scream LOOK AT ME. I used to have royal blue ones and then switched to black calipers and drums.

    lol, you're one to talk Roach with your red rims :D

    IMO, don't do the red calipers, but black or gray, something OEM. Just makes the car look cheap imo.

    And 5mm spacers aren't gonna make any noticeable difference. Extended lugs are needed, like you say, but you can go 10mm. It is very easy to roll/pull the fenders if needed. Of you can get the bolt-on spacers for a bit more money, but you don't need to mess with extended lugs. The bolt on type come in 15mm and up.

    So why would you get a rear tow hook? I mean, why? You like the look? Cause it has no function on your back end. Of course, you've got an "illest" sticker, so I guess you would like how the tow hook looks.

    And why would you put HIDs in the fog lights? Do you want more yellow? Get yellow halogen bulbs. You've gone to the trouble of putting in HID projectors (so you shouldn't need more light) so why ruin it with a glaring kit in the fogs?

    Just some suggestions from being around the block a few times! Take it or leave it of course, it's your car, each to their own as always. I look forward to more progress and pics!

    I want the rear tow hook because I find the rear end boring on my corolla. And the only way to make it better in my eyes would be TRD rear's (good luck finding that) or a little tow hook to spruce it up a bit.
    As for the 3000k HIDs, I plan on taking the yellow vinyl off for a cleaner look.

    I like everything on the list except the red paint. The only way to justify red calipers (I feel) is with a BBK.

    No, the rims looks awesome, I really dig those. Like I said, even I have red on my rims now. I think it looks good when done correctly ;)
