    Hey guys, I've been lurking on these forums as well as ToyotaNation for a couple of months. I private messaged some members here about buying some parts I'm looking for (with no luck lol) and figured I'd formally introduce myself. I've been following the threads here, especially the Lip Spoiler thread and you guys are a cool bunch.

    I own a 2002 Corolla S automatic and it needs lots of TLC. It's a hand me down (paid 0$)! and the exterior is in pretty bad shape. Not a single body panel is without a dent, broken turn signal, missing a Corolla S side skirt, one fog light is so weathered that it's orange! The car runs good but suffers the dreaded oil consumption problem (which I intend to fix), and it desperately needs new shocks/struts (it clunks all over the place). The way I see it, having paid nothing for the car, fixing these problems is of no real monetary loss to me.

    I know this is not the right section to ask for parts but being that there aren't too many members logged in because of Trdforums.com not working, I'm in search of these hard to find parts:
    • TRD Lip Spoiler (I actually found a seller and we're finalizing the transaction)
    • TRD Rear Valence (super hard to find grrrr)
    • TRD Side Skirts or Corolla S side skirts (both hard to find as well :()
    • Does anyone have a spare black/charcoal lid to the center console for sale or does anyone know where I can find one? Like the one below but in black to match the S interior:
    [IMG]
    • How about the rear cup holder in black, anyone selling one or know where I can find one?
    [IMG]

    Anyways, sorry for the ramble. I'm decent with Photoshop if you guys ever want something done on your cars. I used to be active on 3si.org when I had my 3000gt and did a lot of Photoshop requests (wheel changes, lowering, color changes and stuff). And I'll post pics of the car soon.

    Haha, were a pretty small group, but all cool people.

    On a serious note, which side skirt are you missing? I have an extra one.

    I have the repro rear valances available, im trying to get the TRD sides done but the current owner is too busy ATM.

    Ok, so I'm missing the driver's side side skirt. Crap, can the passenger side skirt be put on the drivers side?

    They're dual? Huh, didn't know that. I seem to only find the single ones on eBay.

    Not crazy about the TRD front valences. I like the look of the G-Tech lip but am worried about the quality. Hey Roach, you got another NYC'er here. From Queens!

    Dang, the lid and cup holders are so hard to find! I thought about buying different colored ones and painting them black like you did. You got rear valences available? Sweet!

    Because I'm Hummer. I run this shit.

    You guys quit arguing about whose the biggest terrorist. You can both be top terrorists. One of you will be Saddam and the other Bin Laden.

    Dang Gold, can you get that face any bigger lol If you're referring to the G-Tec group buy, it does show promise but he hasn't updated in a while.

    cBass, the lid is leather right? Did you paint that also?
