8th Gen Corolla Showoff Thread 2.0

looks great man, looks more a factory S now ( what trim is it originally)

i like my grey interior lol hahahah, for now

You might want to get the HVAC panel off a chevy prizm since its black and will match your black interior....Milky and Mack have already done this since the inside/outside air stick is manual rather than automatic that the corollla S has.

Haha, I got a few scratches on my hands and arms. It was worth it though.

I'm not a big fan of CF, I was thinking of wrapping my window switches with a wood grain vinyl.

Painted interior pieces haha, they bring back memories.

Its a CE. )= I'd take grey interior over tan any day.

I was looking them up on eBay and they're hella expensive. If you just so happen to find a black master window switch, black driver side air vent w/ a mirror switch, and a black climate control, let me know!

So this is what I got done today. Buffed out my passenger headlight, mocked up the PR rear valences, and fixed my air bag. Lots more updates coming soon!

I thought you'd like the Charmander sticker lol. The air bag itself is fine, but the cover is beat to shit.

Dude I wish, someday I'll have enough for a 5 speed swap. Right now I'm just faking the funk.

Maybe it deployed from an accident the previous car was in???!!!!

well, maybe you can go to scarp yard find another cover which hasnt been deploy, if you want it look better

p.s : maybe cover the cover cracks, so he need to fix it somehow?

yeah, grey interior with LE looks great ( i am lucky the 1st owner of my car didnt choose beige interior lol), but black look nice too, congratulations on new interior, it looks good

Sorry to confuse you Gold. I meant my air bag in my car is fine. The donor car that I took the air bag cover from was deployed.

Thank you brotha, it makes driving my car less painful lol.

I finally polished 1 of 4 Jlines. It came out OK. I still need to hit it with a little more Mother's Polish. Also I was messing around with my cluster today and I think I fucked up the MPH. Can anyone confirm that if you're driving on the highway around 2200 rpm you're going 70 mph or is that way off?

Yeah, it was pretty simple. I would've but I destroyed it trying to take it out lol.

you are welcome man, just replace the cover sometime at scarpyard lol
rims look nice

2200rpm around 65 mph for my car , its not too off lol ( on cruise control or not)

here's what i did today

clean under my hood


take pics of mine and my familys car ( mom normally drive the camry)



my car

Because I haven't updated in a while, I figured now would be a good time. Some of you may or may not have noticed in the past that I haven't posted a picture of the passenger side of my rolla, here's why...

Yeah... It's been like that for the past 5-6 years, after some jerk driving in front of my dad purposely slammed the brakes to try and collect insurance money. It began to develop rust a few months later, so my dad bought some cheap, "close-enough" colored Rustoleum to paint over that monstrosity. As you can see, it's pretty fugly. So I finally decided to do some bodywork this past weekend.
Bought a cheap Taiwan-made replacement fender, which fit the car pretty well. Then, I hammered out the tweaked door as much as I could and Bondoed it up.
I bought some primer and paint from Automotivetouchup.com, heard their products were good.

It covered nicely, and matched exactly. Clearcoat was full of orange peel at first, but after some wetsanding and rubbing compound, it looks good as new!

Will post some better daylight pics to show the shine, lol.

I'm thinking next mods will be tints or blackhousing headlights.

Hey Guys, I've been watching these forums for a long time, and finally found the time to make a profile and put up a post. my car definitely can't compare with a lot of the nicer ones on here, but I've put a lot of work into it. I've looked through just about every page on these forums trying to find DIY pages, and general information that would help me to upgrade and fix different things on my car, so I'm planning on trying to make my own page to write up some of my own work and add to the library for others. Of course, I don't have a lot of time to add to it, so I won't be on here all that often. sorry if these pictures come across weird, I'm still trying to get the hang of this.

Couple more pictures that I couldn't connect to the first post

Looks good bro, yea +1 on automotive touch up paint....i used them to paint a few parts on my dads silver corolla....


So its been a while since i posted mainly because of my out of city job, summer school and just going through problems in life but i finally washed and polished a bit my corolla...
