    i wouldnt even bother with it cuz it'll cost way more than getting an aftermarket one and getting it painted. i think OCRolla got the stock kit to put on his CE and if i remember correctly it was around a grand, but im not sure so u'd be better off asking him that. but if u wanna get one cheap then u might wanna try junkyards. u might have to go to two or three to get the entire kit but it'll be a whole lot cheaper

    you may want to consider the Vuteq Type B front and rear lips. and then get sideskirts from someone who has a corolla S and is selling their sideskirts after putting on an aftermarket kit.

    if not the type B, the Type A or any other aftermarket bodykit out there.

    I was thinking about getting the "Altis Lip Body Kit" from AllBodykit.com. It seems good.

    hmm.. im not sure what material its made out of. If its fiberglass, you may not want to get it cuz it has a tendency to crack. if you get polyurethane of polypropylene, youre better off. it doesnt crack and if it gets hit or something, you can always just heat it up using a heat gun or a blow dryer to melt the material and pop it back into shape.

    Yeah I installed the S kit on my CE and if I remember correctly it was $1100 for all the pieces, painted, directly from toyota. (david kuei hooked up a discount from freemont toyota) I'm acutally dropping my car off today to get the factory spoiler and my side mirrors painted as well as getting my windows tinted. :)

    I'm kinda in the middle in terms of whether buying/installing the kit was worth it. The corolla is my 1st car, bought my senior year in college because I lived quite a ways off campus. Since I was so stoked to finally have a car I didn't push the issue with my dad of spending the extra $$ for an S. At the time I was working at a restaurant and figured I should save money. In reality the extra amount to upgrade to an S wouldn't have done much to my monthly payments. Bottom line... if you are buying the car new, get an S. I wish I had.

    Since you don't have an S, then I would encourage getting the factory kit if you enjoy working on projects, are good with details AND most important can get a good price similar to what I got. If it's expensive, which it is from toyota w/o a discount, I wouldn't do it.

    Otherwise take everyone else advice and find an aftermarket kit. I personally think the Vuteq kits are better than the altis lip kit.

    Geez, I just realized that the pic in my sig is old, no kit! How about I take a nice pic after I get the spoiler installed, mirrors painted and windows tinted. 8)
