    Those are actual pictures of once they are removed from the mold, i didnt sand them down or primer them...im actual doing that today, going to pull the front valances today aswell from the molds...

    I kinda do want to remove the body kit and just put the TRD lip kit but i think im in it too far. I can still remove it, just chisel/sand the bondo from the cracks off. Molded side skirts and rear bumper...Im fine with it, i think i made the body kit look very different from the first time i got it and made it look good. I just need wider rims and paint, along with some extras like coilovers, rally mud flaps, lug nuts, maybe -2.5 camber on the rear? LOL im just throwing out ideas.

    What i will do is if my dad does get that other corolla ill just put the lip kit on that one and advertise the lip kit off that car and show my work.

    lol hummer... Finally, I can quote that, cause you know my policy against using bad words.

    But you know as much as I do how awesome your car would look with wheel fitment like mine.... flush, slammed, deep, etc.

    Proof that nobody should listen to hold about Corollas... 17s are the maximum that should be put on a corolla. Ask hummer. 15-17 inch rims are the only sizes that look good. I personally prefer 16s, 15s will give you a good drop, and hummer pulled off those 17s good though. Saying 17 minimum implies you want something bigger. Fuck you gold.

    No actually I meant just 17s. Minimum 17"... I thought Maximum 17" was obvious because who puts 18s on these cars lol. He needs 17s to look good on the huge cbass body kit.

    Oregon's capped at 55? Bummer. We had 65 with a few 70 places. New toll opened up in Texas with an 85 speed limit for 11 miles or so.
