| Thanks guys!  I still need to edit the pics with the hood on (I had swapped it back to stock just for those pics). The car is indeed very low, yet still 100% drivable! No scraping, no rubbing, no bottoming out. The coilovers have custom very high spring rates, and high dampening, so it rides very stiff. As for new parts, I think I'm gonna buy some tonight. In these pics..... I want the tail lights, bumper, and fenders.   | |

| lol, everything for this car is expensive (the real parts anyway), :/ but it shows in quality.
I'm not sure about the tail lights yet.... because I'm going to customize them with my own LED creations. They will be smoked on the INSIDE... like my stock tail lights, not smoked on the lens like those. So, it'll be a combination of both. I'm just not sure if I want to have the upper part red or just smoked. | |

| yeah man, I'm not worried... the car still drives perfectly! It's going to take some custom work to mount new tail lights and bumper.... but that should be easy if you saw my Corolla hahaha.
My new tail lights will be the start of another LED project! | |

| The LEDs I use (LUMILED superflux) are about $15 (including shipping) for 60 pieces. I bought 1,200 LEDs at once and got a better price per LED. | |

| I have a DIY for my tail lights as well.... I'll have to remember to post it on here! It's not hard, but you definitely have to know what you are doing LOL.
Definitely save up for the house Lyna, unless you plan on living in your car lol. The Corolla is definitely a nice car, and I never would have replaced mine if it was still useable. The IS300 gets bad gas mileage and uses premium gas, so it's expensive to run lol. Expensive to run, buy, fix, and modify! My insurance went down though, that's a plus. | |
