    Oh, they aren't on ebay NOW... but that's where I've seen them before.

    Heated seat retrofit? That sounds interesting.

    whoaho Scott! REAR LIP IN THE HOUSE!!!

    haha, thanks for posting the pics here, cause there's actually a like button I can hit!

    I wonder if there's a setting that your car wouldn't look good in, cause you haven't found it yet. Beaches, trees, grass, gardens, cityscapes, your driveway, construction sites even.

    Lol.

    Haha, my pleasure Chris. Posted exclusively on TRDforums, until it's painted and fitted of course. Took the photos on my cellphone, so the quality isn't the best.

    Lol, if there is then I'm yet to find it :D. Thanks mate :cool:

    P.S. The rear lip is actually a genuine Toyota part, made from ABS plastic but off an entirely different model/shape. Fitment is pretty much perfect.

    Oh, that's not a Corolla lip? I thought it was one of those cool JDM ones for the Corolla. Wow, that fits better than most parts made FOR the Corolla. That has to be the best rear lip I've ever seen. Can't wait to see it painted...

    Nope, not a Corolla one. The only Corolla ones available are from the BZ Touring wagons (pre-facelift and facelift) but they're 3-piece and they're not very tall, so they don't do a hell of a lot to the appearance of the car. Lets just say that this one was off a wagon, but it's not a Corolla and wasn't available in the US market ;). Couldn't believe my luck when I discovered it would fit perfectly. Did an extensive measure up before purchasing it to make sure and everything matched up perfectly. The lip itself was very hard to find however as it was actually a rare optional extra from the model I got it from, so it ties in with the theme nicely :D. Looking forward to getting it painted too. Should hopefully have it done soon :)

    Of course :D

    No, no I can't :p

    :eek: You didn't know that NZ is basically the pinnacle of all JDM parts?!? New Zealand has amongst the highest population of Japanese vehicles in the entire world, mainly because we are allowed to import vehicles directly from Japan. Almost every single car you see on the roads here is Japanese, so there's an abundance of parts available ;)

    Thanks, I think so too :)

    Haha, nope, that's not dirt, those are small stonechips on the inside edges of the sideskirts. Since there are no mudflaps there the stones flick up and hit that part, causing small stonechips, especially when going through damn roadworks. I'll touch it up this weekend :cool:
