    Decision: 10th gen jdm conversion?

    Im seriously considering buying the needed parts since im already here. But if I do the conversion, the $ for the AE82 suspension will go bye bye. I do use the ae82 for school+work but i dont think its wise still putting down $ on it... HELP!

    *sorry for huge images. got pix from toyota.com.ph*
    09 corolla Altis

    basically here are the parts i will get for the conversion:
    rear tail light assy
    side mirrors
    side moldings (on the doors)
    front grille
    and of course, the "Altis" badge

    opinions?

    Actually the JDM 10th gen would be the Toyota Corolla Axio....

    I don't see a noticeable difference between the domestic Corolla here and the Altis version.

    then you are not very observant...


    Its not really JDM but its something different from the 10th gen over there that looks good (at least for me). Kinda like a body kit that looks good...

    Small differences: lights, molding, mirrors, grill. I can't see any other differences.

    Yeah, exactly. At first glance, it looks the same. imo unless you convert it to an Axio, I don't see a point.

    Yeah, all I notice is the badges. Isn't that like a 100 dollar conversion? LOL
