and for the headlights, what would i do about the turning signal lights? i was thinking of shaving them like i saw on a corolla of the same year as mine but then how would i show my turning signal? :confused:

[finboy]

advice:
1. don't get the tail lights, sorry man, ugly.
2. i wouldn't get that body kit personally, but thats just me.
3. love the headlights.
4. plan out down time for your vehicle vs. when you can afford, nothing like buying a part and then having no vehicle to drive because you have no cash for other parts (for example, get all your exhaust parts then put them on at once.)

good luck

[Samio]

yea i wasnt feelin' the tail lights eaither but i can't find too many other kinds, i dont see whats wrong with the body kit, it looks good on a couple corollas ive seen with them, i see what you mean about down time vs. what i can afford, i was thinking the same thing, what i might do is leave the corolla stock until i get ALL the parts then install the easy stuff myself and take all the stuff that i cant together to a mechanic and pay him once to install everything.

[Samio]

how about these tail lights?

[EK 2.0]

I think over tail-lights...if you just it it with a few coats of taillight tint vs. Altezza's it will look a LOT cleaner...thats just my opinion...I mean it might also be "ricey" or "th3 gh3y" but really I think Toyota's should be left clean and simple looking...

the headlights are uber cool though seen them in person on a Rolla here locally and they are nice lights...

[Samio]

how about these fog lights? would i be able to put them on even though i have the drifter body kit? i think it gives the car a nice racing look :thumbsup:

[finboy]

for tail lights, just get some testors candy apple red paint and some clear coat from a model shop, that should solve your problems there.

turn signals, see if you can find amber ones.

the body kit is just a little over done for my liking, too many lines that don't fit with the other lines on the car. see if you can find something a bit more simple, or mabye just a lip for the front bumper :dunno:

[Samio]

the body kit looks good with the hood and head lights and im gonna paint the whole car black, then i might add a spoiler and maybe a cf trunk if i could find one. how about some opinions on the interior parts? i found a good site for interior parts, im gonna make everything blue and im gonna put neone lights under my car and get blue brake calipers, obviously im trying to get a black and blue theme on my car giving it a tough but sleek look or something down that line, and thanks for the feedback :thumbsup:

[Skylinelover]

Ebay? Can you trust it you are probally better off buying it from a store for the more exspensive items.

that kit doesn't look too bad but i can't tell because of the colour, notice his tail lights are also quite stock looking.

[lam-boy]

that steering wheel would kill in the heat!!

[Gonthro]

pop the hood before you open the doors.

[Pihsiak]

I got a set of clear tail lights I decided not to use after looking a blue book value of my 93.

they really matched my euros in the front

[hockeybronx]

I wouldn't believe everything they say on EBAY though, they said that the high flow cat will give you 10-15 more horsepower and I really think that's pure bullshit.:dunno:

[Ben]

hop into a real tuning store (not walmart or canadian tire) but a real shop that caries all the real stuff and run through your options with them, because eBay tunerz will seriously bastardize your car.

[h22aseller]

ok, first off, it's somewhat debatable how much power you will get out of a high-flow cat. I would save the money on that and get a decent header/exhaust combo from real companies like DC sports and apex. Belive it or not, there is an incredible amount of R&D that goes into making a header. The piping lengths must be just right, piping diameter must be just right, and a cheap header is not going to last as long as a good one. And the glowing pedals will be a pain in the ass as soon as they break (and they will), if you want any kind of credibility don't go for the cheap, rice, gadget stuff, save your money and get proper performance mods. because in truth, a properly modded car looks way better than the civic down the road with the blue tinted bulbs and taped on neon.

[dkny_stylez]

did you win the lottery or something?

[whatthe]

forget it all, go forced induction, keep the car simple on the outside...

[CelicaST-162]

Here's a suggestion, make it a sleeper! Save some money and drop in a 4A-GZE (Z) Supercharged. It will drop right in:thumbsup:

[africano]

For the header question:

The first one is a 4-to-1 style, the second a two piece 4-2-1 style. Second one would be easier to install and better for the streets. 4-1 sacrifices a bit of low end torque for a pull higher in the rpm range, 4-2-1 better low end torque.

[africano]

I agree with celica, only prob sounds like he's building a showish style car. :dunno:
