Go to Toyota and ask them for the '03 Rear Skirt for the Corolla, not that hard really.

there is a place in sunshine, wright street... its called aero image... they quoted me $220 unpainted...

i recently purchase my rear lip from toyota - footscray. bought it for $370..

i recommend going genuine, saw the fibreglass one at aero image, alot of work to get this thing to fit!

didnt have any brackets or anything! so dont know how well it would fit!

I reckon the money you think you would save on a fibreglass item would be blown out by the additional prep work to get it true before painting...

i recently purchased a front bar off them and am in the process of fitting it so far its bout 90% lined up, after hearing every one only say bad things about them i was surprised at what i got, in all honesty it was probably one of the better fibreglass parts id seen and ive fitted well over a 100 or more fibreglass kits to cars, they had even taken the time to fill the pin holes and primer it. on the other hand ive seen supposedly big name jap companies atempt at widebody kits/bars/skirts that look and fit like some thing some one made in there back yard. the problem with carmate isent there product its the people that fit and paint there stuff and 80% of the time its due to a stingy owner wanting the cheapest price possible, u get peanuts u get monkeys. imo if u can, get the geniune part cause even a blind monkey could fit it correctlly, on the other hand fibreglass takes more skill and time to fit and in the wrong hands looks like a carcrash.

yeah i think its just the people at carmate that give the bad rep, i was always told its an ok place to shop but not to get your car fitted, i remember one time when i went they had locked a customers keys inside the car and had to get him to come back with some spares -_-

well i got my rear lip from carmate, fitted and sprayed and even cut the exhaust area with a friend, it doesn't look like a car wreck well i don't think it does :)

also i dont know how low ur car is, but another reason why i choose to go genuine is because with fibreglass if i bottom out the kit will crack if fibreglass, where plastic wont!

for the extra money go genuine! =]

i agree, its best to go with genuine, cause you pay for the quality and it won't break as easily as fibreglass, the plastic just flexes

go geniune :toast: much better

i agree, staying with geniune is the way to go, guarented to fit and is stronger then the fibreglass option :rolleyes:

Hey TRD,
