Very clean, I dig it! Definitely a tasteful, reliable daily and there’s nothing wrong with that :tup: Oh and fantastic job on the HID retrofit! Couldn’t ask for a better cut-off than that haha. Welcome!! 👋

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys! Hopefully come spring it would be great to check out everyone’s cars at some of the local meets.

Thanks! Could you clarify on what heaters is?

Yes sir! It wasn’t very bad at all, just ordered the parts from the retrofit source (TRS), grabbed my dremmel and trimmed away! lol It took a whole 3-4 hours I would say. Here’s another shot of just the retros

Ah i see, not too many burnouts lol. I can in 1st gear and I can get the wheels to break in 2nd gear as well (but that’s probably due to lack to traction control lol).

There is a newly released PnP kit from [turbokits.com](http://turbokits.com), but I think it would be a much better investment to save the $3500 towards my next ride. It would be pretty cool to see a turbo 2zr-fe corolla!

Welcome aboard and nice, tasteful mods. I never would have guessed that your car had that kind of mileage on it based on its appearance.
