    Haha, yeah I'm gonna leave that alone. May even want to fit a taller front lip someday :)

    I bought and fitted some new wheels today [IMG]. Here's some quick pics. Better photos to come soon:

    They look cool but the tall lip on those make the rims look kinda small for your car. A drop of another inch or two would make that look better. No need to say you're not gonna do that though, we already know. We're not good enough for advice hahahaha

    Haha, I appreciate your opinion bro. Even though they're 17" like my last set they appear slightly smaller due to the spoke design, which is a good thing though in my opinion because I always thought the old wheels looked a little too large. Would definitely like to lower it more in future :cool:

    Wow Scott, you actually did it and got nicer-looking wheels. impressive!

    I always thought your old rims looked too big due to the spoke design, so these look like the perfect size.

    And when you say "better photos", how is that possible? Every pic you post is good.

    Holy crap Scott, very impressive. I also noticed you sold recently a digital cluster, does that mean you already have one in your car? If so, lets see it in action.

    Is there such thing as a digital dash in an 8th corolla? and have you come across some more side view mirror tweeter speakers?

    Thanks Daniel :). Haha, I wish! The digital cluster was for an AE92. I've got another one for sale right now. Still hunting for the illusive AE101 digital cluster. There was never one available for the 8th Gen unfortunately. Haven't come across any more tweeter pods either yet, but I'm sure I will eventually :)

    Will do mate [IMG]. Got a rare extended armrest here right now if you're interested. Could be adapted to your 8th Gen quite easily :cool:

    Yeah it's a really nice blue. The top is lighter in colour than the sides due to the use, but it blends well with most interior colours. I'm after $150 NZD ($123 USD) for the actual armrest and shipping will be $45.50 NZD ($37.30 USD) on International Air (3-10 working days). So all up including PayPal fees you'd be looking at $205.30 NZD ($168.30 USD).

    I've got one of these exact armrests fitted to my Corolla and I seriously don't know how I ever lived without it. It makes driving so much more comfortable by allowing you a place to rest your arm and comes in especially handy during long trips. Not only is it comfortable, it's very practical too as it has two rather large slide-out storage drawers - One in the front and one in the back. You can store all sorts of goodies in here, from your car stereo remote to your favourite brand of chewing gum.

    Here's some more pics:

    Well guys, I finally got around to installing the rare OEM Toyota Caldina rear lip in the weekend. The fitment wasn't 100% perfect since the lip is off a completely different model, which happens to be a wagon, but was nothing that a heat gun, a lot of patience and some urethane couldn't fix :). Got my muffler slightly moved over today because it was touching against the left hand side of the lip. Here's some photos I just took within the last hour:

    Thanks. Moving the muffler up is the next thing on my list. Was going to get it done today when I got the tip extended and moved over, but to move it up I'd have to get the mounts for the hangers shortened. Shouldn't melt the bumper or lip, but may have to be put on the back burner for now :)
