Yeah, i think you have the grille he is after, but then again... i could be wrong :P

so when you removed the side strips, did it make the car doors sound hollow?

No not really any different to what they used to be like... cause panels on cars now are sooo flimsy, like when your washing it the panels dent in and back out again, no wonder panel beaters make suck a good living

yea thats what i did, i got inpatient and just ripped them off leaving all the sticky foam stuff on the car... heating it up first is the way to go, leave it in the sun all day then use a heat gun to take them off, should take most of the sticky stuff too, and i used the orange goo and sticky stuff remover.. worked much better than the other stuff.. but yea dont do it like i did!! it took me 4 hours to do mine, thats right 1 hour per door :S so yea have fun :D

few recent pics of the corolla, after a good wash :D next step is new grill, eyelids and CAI

You should really get these, cover up the black door handles. They will look great i think.

ahh i really like them, they just slip straight over the top right?

Yeah straight over the top, and just double sided tape to hold them on i think.

I used to know a black sportivo hat had them on it, looked the ****, and your car has the right wheels fr the look.

I cant believe i took ya so long i had it all done in about 20 mins

didnt even use a heat gun or fishing line,

they baiscally pulled off, just started at one end and puled out slowly with a bit of a twisting action..

pretty simple..

makes the car look soo much better
