    WP_20150219_001.jpg Got an 01 LE gauge cluster today! Going to swap in my existing white LEDs this weekend. Could've gotten an S cluster for cheaper, but I'm not a fan of the red lettering so much.

    @yinster Nice. My wheels are 16"x7"s Maxxim Ahead's with BF Goodrich G-Force Super Sport A/S's. Your car does look pretty similar to mine, but all my interior is black. The next things on my list of to-do's is swapping out the dome and trunk light for some red LEDs, just got some new rubber mats to put in, new pedals, and when it gets a little warmer i'm gonna black out my grille and put some mesh in.

    Goodbye fogs! Horrible pic of the front end, can't even tell the bumper inserts are there lol. After installing them I realized the grill and trim are a very faded/dull black color. Will probably paint them on Thursday. And yes that is my brother's TSX on the left. I know I know his car is 10x cleaner, but I'm lower so I win haha. Also, my black interior is almost complete, just need the driver and passenger seat belts and I'm good.

    Meh.. I would if I was tracking this car or something. But its strictly for looks.

    Do it, I mean I always have the option of going back to fogs in the future, but I doubt it lol.

    I dunno Jerry, your car was pretty clean with the old mesh rims (and IMO the fogs but of course I'm biased toward those haha)! What happened to those?

    Finally had the chance to paint my grill today. Looks so much better IMO. I wish I had enough funds for body work and paint. *cries And I didn't get a chance to put back the Toyota emblem because I literally finished painting 20 minutes ago. I will probably start painting the window trim tomorrow or Friday, super stoked.

    I figured everyone was going to like the fogs better, but its time for a change.

    I sold those wheels, but I'm in the market for some new ones. Don't worry they'll be a lot better! :thumbsup:


    Looking good brotha, can't wait for the new front end.

    I get what you're saying jerry but I mean since you took fogs out and put in the deletes modifying them to become brake ducts couldn't hurt helping the braking of your car. Just my .02

    Sup guys, love the corolla content. Well here's the deal, I have a VW Jetta MK3 and have been working on my car for couple years now. My girl who has been very positive about my addiction to the car scene, that i may have infected her with this lifestyle!! Well long story short, i need your advice on getting her on the right directions... So far she got her first set of wheels, which are some Borbet Type A reps 16x9 et15, similar specs that I'm running on my Vdub. I was wondering if any of you guys seen this work. Pics for attention:

    Same exact specs on my set up. The wheels will fit with a bit of negative camber and a good fender roll & pull. Plus I had a good amount of stretch, the tires I went with was a 195/40/16 set up. Here's a pic for reference:

    I feel you, I'll probably get tired of this look so maybe I can do some brake ducts in the future, you never know.

    Been spending a lot of quality time with this one. Blox is 3 months away and I still haven't found wheels. :Facepalm: Next week I'll probably install my side skirts the correct way since they've been bothering me for the longest time.
