I added a grill to my vehicle , plus some hella horns I didn't like the color of the horns so I painted them black so you couldn't see them . Hope you like

 

[Rinconrolla]

Changed out my stereo

One of my best mods for Corolla was a full set of WEATHER GUARD floor mats

lol... updating the stock stereo deck in this gen Corolla is a great investment! I waited too long to do this mod.. worth every cents.

shawn86.. keep an eye on your voltage and battery power make sure all these goodies don't become a parasitic drain

 

[Rinconrolla]

Added some more parts , G Plus Purple Hoses , VMS Radiator Purple Cap , Sick Speed Wrist Bands lol , Magnetic Purple Oil Pan Bolt , TRD Neo Chrome Oil Filler Cap .

I'm still undecided if I'm keeping that Radiator Fan Cover Purple or Stock White that is in the last picture .

That is why you purchase a FARAD and connect your amp to it , any lighting and it will not drain your battery .

 

[shawn86]

Yeah for sure I used a wiring harness and I have a capacitor for my amp also. I have blown up too many batteries because of wiring and electrical issues.

I love your colors! hey.. if you happen to find a aftermarket battery tie.. that actually fits our corolla let me know.

Thanks Bro !!!

I have a extra one if you are talking about the original battery tie down the one that I colored purple on top of the battery ??

 

[Rinconrolla]

I got me a Camry cargo net made it work for my trunk

 

[FinalGear]

Thanks Bro !!!

oh! no... ex: the FT86 has a lot of aftermarket battery tie down. I no better not to get a universal aftermarket batter tie (they NEVER fit).

and you should of gotten the "As Seen On Tv" Grab Bag instead of the cargo net

that a good score.. oh lord.. they cost a lot @ the dealership

 

[walshphilly75]

thank you for the radio suggestions.. Love them,
thats my next project.

 

[Rinconrolla]

I did some rebadging today , Then changed my rear tail lights to Altis LED Version which is cheaper then the other one .

 

[FinalGear]

I have those tail lights too what your next mod?

 

[Rinconrolla]

Well while I had to replace a stud and brakes I decided to just throw some slotted rotors , I have used these in all my past Corollas , Camry , My Rav4 currently has all 4 slotted rotors .

My only recommendation on slotted rotors is that you use Ceramic Pads or Carbon Fiber . I have never had a problem with them , braking feels the same pads seem to last longer but the best part since this Corolla like my other ones with no ABS they do not heat up when you use them a lot so the stop is always good .

 

[shawn86]

The only thing I have noticed is with ceramic pads when they are super cold they don’t work as well until they warm up.

I live in Florida so cold is not a option for me - lol - But what I love about Ceramic is No or Little Dust on Rims

True that! I wish I would have switched sooner

 

[walshphilly75]

[Rinconrolla]

Headlights came with the car they are the OEM

 

[shawn86]

Rinconrolla,

U need to come over! And do my brakes too!!

then later... strip my entire exhaust set off . I want to do something different

 

[Rinconrolla]

Rinconrolla,

No problem if you live in Florida - lol

 

[Rinconrolla]

Well I have added a Vibrant 1126 Muffler

 

[shawn86]

Well I have added a Vibrant 1126 Muffler

Does that muffler change the sound?

 

[FinalGear]

Well I have added a Vibrant 1126 Muffler

darn it.. Rinconrolla, you should of waited on your muffler upgrade.. I don't like the tail pipe

 

[Rinconrolla]

Does that muffler change the sound?

This is what is sounds like

 

[Rinconrolla]

darn it.. Rinconrolla, you should of waited on your muffler upgrade.. I don't like the tail pipe

The tail pipe down is to keep the pipe from scrapping on driveways ,

 

[Rinconrolla]

I know a lot of people hate the lights under the cars , They think RICE or fast and furious but believe it or not Tokyo is famous for expensive cars lit up like neon board , But me personally or I know in Florida lights under the vehicles can be classy ,

These lights are remote they change colors and they blink to music if I decide to change the mood , But for now Purple is my main theme at night - Hope you like - Of course before installing these always paint under your car white so that the color can bounce from the ground to the white and back down again ,

 

[Rinconrolla]

Time to lower her down , I bought these Godspeed ones they feel good , Right now she is riding on hard later I will try the soft then decide which one I will stick with , I'm looking to do 2inch all the way around , I still got some tweaking to do and some fenders to roll

 

[borokinni oladotun]

I added a grill to my vehicle , plus some hella horns I didn't like the color of the horns so I painted them black so you couldn't see them . Hope you like

Wanted to buy this grile but the shipping is twice the amount to my country, so i passed on mine.justinstalled hella projectors on mine

 

[Revive Corolla]

I did some rebadging today , Then changed my rear tail lights to Altis LED Version which is cheaper then the other one .

Where did you purchase the Altis tail lights? Link?

I’m also bringing new life to my corolla so we are in very similar places. Like others have asked, what’s the next mod?

Dope work I have that same grille on my corolla Also installed projectors on the lights which are pretty cool currently waiting for my android head unit from ali express so I can change out my stereo also.
