    vvti.net was the Corolla forum when you were 10 or so, cbass. This is on-topic still because 8th gens were the new hotness back then.

    lol, I remember when we talked about those trim molding things years ago, how I suggested that you remove them and then when you did, it was very clean. You were afraid to remove them for fear of leaving marks on the bumpers. Ah, those were the days.

    That definitely looks 100 times better! Props to you for getting the sides so even. I still think you should take off that thin bar over the grille and let the hood create the top of the grille. Definitely looks unique.

    And the construction project sounds interesting.... so basically a driveway with a gate? Would that strip be the driveway?

    I'm not a fan of body kits but the one you're sporting is actually pretty cool, not too overdone and it follows some of the factory lines. :) what color are u going to paint her?

    na, its going to stay, there's a gap because the radiator support is all messed up, going to get a new one and weld it

    yup, driveway with a gate, the whole strip all the way to the street will be the driveway, ill take more pictures 2morw on the ideas and project..


    that was the objective, make it look less ricey...and yes also did follow the factory lines throughout the whole body kit

    hahaha, "poor rolla back in the day", that the story of our lives!

    Looks good, I always love that lip. You should adjust the ends of the lip lower at the wheels, so it flows with the body line into the rocker panels. Height looks good.
