Hey another 03 levin owner, just like me I was fortunate enough to get mine with some work done on it already. Im regards to what you want to do to yours, i guess you need to decide what you want sorted first; looks, or performance. A set of rims, imo is a good start. Looking forward to how your ride turns out.

[ssjTitan]

Man, those rims are crazy!! Did you install you CAI? and did you have to remove one of you fog lights when installing it? Im lookin at getting a TRD CAI as well.

[lylee]

nah i didnt have to remove the fog light. it fit perfectly

i love my CAI sounds sweet when u put the foot down and gives the WTF effect

[selyaT]

Welcome to the 1ZZ club

Intake noise is the best noise on earth

[lylee]

now i just need the exhaust system to go with when i get the money

[lylee]

i would love to get the sportivo instead of the levin but my rolla is one good car as is. once im off the P plates here comes the turbo

oh and i forgot to mention i also put in a nice loud twin note airhorn to scare the stupid drivers but no pix of it yet just put it in

[lylee]

whatever id prefer having any tivo colour compared to mine but i reckon my paint so so much cooler, it looks silver in the sun but grey when it rains but greeny blue at night with light reflecting off it
