kickfli12's 1996 toyota corolla AE-102

when i first bought the car, it was completely stock... obviously. it belonged to a teacher who only drove it to school and back which is 11mi round trip. its a 1996 model and i believe it is the CE. it has no power options, no mirrors on the other side of the visors, no clock, no tilt wheel, no 60/40 split seats, no crotch vent, nothing. so i took what i could from my prizm for spare parts and such and went from there.

i also have a '68 beetle

i think thats pretty much it for now, i still have more stuff that needs to be installed though

You know I love your car bro! Just don't tell Ishaq where you got the hood

What's next for it?

nice car bro looks amazing ive seen ur car on toyota nation it looks good loving the transformation bro.and welcome to the club..



and chris bro

been waiting for this write up...

love the transformation bro

next up are tinted windows and my 8th gen sideskirts

Woh, this is so nice!
Where did you get the rear sun visor?

Tinted windows will look great... and you've had those skirts for a while now, install them already!!

the visor was a gift skorp, and ive had those skirts for at least a year lol. maybe tomorrow after i go to the junkyard ill give it another shot. every time i go to put them on i get frustrated and say "my car will run without them" and proceed to put them back in the garage. if they were purely bolt on they would be on already and since i dont have a saw of any kind its hard to cut off the parts that need to be removed.

You should buy a Dremel. I got my Dremel 4000 for $84 shipped and I can't believe I didn't buy it years ago. Can't tell ya how man times it saved my butt.

here kenny, here is a little teaser from the last time i tried to instal them

some of you know that the gold enkies that were on my car were an extremely rare option here in the usa. well, i found 2 of the gray ones in the junkyard today =)

here they are when i brought them home



enkei stamp :thumbsup:



didnt clean up as well as i wanted them to but for 35 a piece i cant complain



here is one next to one of my gold ones (inside the garage)



here they are outside

oh wow nice work tyler

sorry for posting so many pictures today, but here is another teaser for kenny.



i installed my trunk lip today. thats another thing ive had for over a year lol and i did an absolutely terrible job. that was way harder than i thought it was going to be. its not straight and its not center on the trunk.



and here is a picture of all the parts that i need to install cause theyre just hanging out in my garage.



rear passenger floor vents
oil catch can
intermittent wipers
tilt wheel
421 header and down pipe
cold air intake
washer fluid reservoir that mounts behind the bumper cover

Man your car looks awesome with the skirts on! lol You just made me want to go to the pick n pull right now and find an eight gen. Looks so much better than the ones I currently have, in my opinion.

So what are you going to do with two wheels?

And your car doesn't have rear floor vents? Hmm I thought they all came with those.

Rear floor vents, I didn't know there was any?
Me wanting

Loving the car to bro, good to see another CF hood brotha out there

well chris, i can A) save them and maybe find 2 more to complete the set or B) sell them to someone who needs one to complete a set and make bank off of it cause theyre so rare.

and i thought the same thing, but i have the extreme base model remember?

thanks kenny, i like them too, theyre just a pain to install.

@ MAG, i can get you some but theyll be expensive to ship due to the size. but youll have to 100% be committed to getting them cause half the interior has to come out to get to them. and id be at the yard for a while.

Well if I had known that I had something special, I would have taken my floor vents out before it went to the scrapper lol.

rear vents need more pics on that bro if u dont mind

Are these the rear vents?


Please excuse the mess of wires

tbh ive never seen those on any rolla...

Yeah corolla sound, those are the vents

could u provide detailed pics for the rear foot vents

just look under the seats, or feel for air to see if you have them. Mine didn't seem to put out enough air to make a difference.
