    Kink in faux-leather dash

    You can massage it back. It won't be perfect but it'll look a lot better.

    Eco muffler

    Ah alright. Might be able to check out Summit Racing and see what they have.

    Eco muffler

    You won't like a glasspack if you are looking at something not loud. Unless you plan on welding your own muffler in, you're SOL on keeping it under $100. Even good quality universals run higher than that. Save up the extra money and get the Borla or TRD. That, and Magnaflows sound too rice for...

    2ZR-FE Turbo Kit

    Ripoff. $20k would be reasonable to ask for, $25k for a supercharged '14 is insanity. He thinks the car didn't depreciate in two years.

    Lower springs

    I had a set of Eibachs in my '82 Mustang GT and loved them. I've considered D2 coilovers in my Corolla, but there are so many places in San Diego that are front bumper killers with the stock ride height ... not sure if I want to crawl over those at 2 m.p.h.

    Maintenance RQD

    That wouldn't trigger an MIL, only the Maintenance Required light (and that is based on every 5,000 miles, not the condition of the oil).

    Is there such thing as OEM hood bra?

    The front bumper needs it as well.

    exhaust system????

    I have the TRD. Definitely happy with it.

    3 Week old 14 s plus totaled :(

    Yeah, A pillar damage is definitely not good...

    cvt transmission fluid check

    I'd be interested in a write-up of this.

    Pop sound coming from drivers side front end

    I disagree. If I drop money for a brand new car, flaws of any kind are unacceptable.

    3 Week old 14 s plus totaled :(

    Without seeing pictures of the roof, I'm not sure what it would cost to repair the damage. The rear window is about $450, mirror cover and door stuff is around another $300. Most of the cost will be the labor to pop up the dings in the roof and hood and prep + paint. Rear taillights are about...

    3 Week old 14 s plus totaled :(

    Wow. Never seen hail hard enough to smash out a rear window. Crack it, yes. Not smash it.

    EBC Stage 5 Kit Front and Rear Brakes

    So, I figured they were ready to bed in. 760 miles of about 70/30 freeway/city, plus I deal with traffic on occasion (EBC recommends 200 city). I'll just say that my 60 m.p.h. to 20 m.p.h. time is about 3x quicker than my 20 m.p.h. to 60 m.p.h. time. Definitely stops like nothing.

    2ZR-FE Turbo Kit

    I bet they machined a kit to increase the oil pressure in the CVT so the belt holds. Cool!

    2ZR-FE Turbo Kit

    Diesel engines use methane instead of nitrous for that shot boost. Diesel engines don't need the extra oxygen since the fuel supplies it (hence why they can run underwater where a gasoline engine can't).

    Pop sound coming from drivers side front end

    Take it to the dealer, but it sounds like an alignment wasn't done properly (as far as I can tell anyway).

    EBC Stage 5 Kit Front and Rear Brakes

    Still have 350 miles to go before I can bed them in, but I have pushed them a little and so far, I'm happy. Yellowstuff do dust, but typically low-dust pads have a poor cold bite and tend to glaze more easily. If you drive spirited, you want to avoid low-dust pads.

    2017 Corolla

    They most likely aren't without changing the bumper, hood, grille, and possibly the fender as well. Typically in a mid-generation change the first thing to change are the bumpers and lighting.
