id expect ipods to be a higher risk of being sold by fraudsters in ebay.

corolla 03 parts seems too specific for an item that would be used by scammers to take money from you.

id say ps2/xbox/console games, ipods, dvds may be used by fraudsterz..

but you just gotta check to make sure you can trust the seller. are they just individuals selling a few things or do they have a whole online store going on in ebay?

ive been scammed for a ps1 game back in the dayz when ps was still THE console 2 own. lost $50 @ sold.com think it was an aussie auction site.. since closeed down

i bought the same grille and eye lids from kelvin on ebay as well, managed to get the 2 rubber screws in but had to put a lot of pressure on the corners to line up the holes.

If you put one of the screws in a little bit, try and line up the 2nd screw then tighten the both, that should work it a pretty tight fit though.

interesting.. i never experienced this problem with the sportivo grille...

however.. the screw in the middle was a bit of a problem for me with the runx grille...

i used blue tack to stick the nut into place in order to properly screw it in.

actually what different between that Kelvin dude's trd parts and toyota's trd parts?

I just saw that Kelvin dude is using ABS plastic to make this Grilles.

For the ABS: Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene can be used between ?25 and 60 °C.

I don't know buy the OEM one worth or not, because I don't know what material are they using.

Anyone can answer this question?

yea if its made for US models, dont waste your money. they can be misleading when they describe their items as "JDM", it does not mean that they are anything like the runx/aussie model of corollas.

I've recently bought one of the grilles from Kelvin on Ebay, it did need a slight prod to fit, but some of the suggestions above would have made it easier! Here's a pic of mine:

Hi guys, i was thinking of finally buying the grill off ebay, so before i did, i tried taking the factory grill off my sportivo first. I undid all 3 screws AND IT WONT BUDGE.

I tried pushing, sticking my hand behind the grill and trying to bend the clips down (even though it seems like theres about 10 of them, big and small) and nothing, I cant push the grill forward/out the slightest bit, and im afraid of breaking the front bar part that wraps around the edges of the grill even though i was pushing HARD.

Was it usually this hard for you guys that have changed your grill or and im just not doing it right?

Any help and advice would be much apprieciated.

Thankyou

I did it myself. I was firm, yet gentle. Pretend you're making love to the missus and it that should get it off eventually.

      Vibration through body (not steering wheel) under acceleration

      Well, new tyres, a proper wheel balance seems to have done about 90% of the trick - the car now drives like it once did. The only thing is that a wheel bearing was called out as "completely stuffed" and as it is so bad, the only way to fix due to wear on the knuckle is to replace the whole thing. Quoted $600 for the repair and no parts for this until mid next week. Once this is replaced I will update if back to 100% or still more problems. I was thinking that the aftermarket CV shafts could be to blame - very glad this turned out not to be the case.

      New to Toyota - 2005 Corolla Sportivo!

      Long time no update. In all honesty, not an awful lot to update on. Life has been super busy and inbetween life, I get a chance here and there to clean the beast and also arrange for the usual 5000 km oil change. The car is showing it's age with more noticeable paint fade on the roof. After some time I've decided to order the parts to fix my slow power steering leak. After receiving the quote from Toyota, I was able to get the parts from overseas for not even a 1/3 of the cost it would've cost me to order here. The parts are due here in 2-3 weeks and I'm thinking of getting this done with the major service which will be due later this year at some point seenig as the car is quickly approaching 293000 kms this month. Other than that, I'm still enjoying driving the car and the money spent late last year was well worth it.

      Vibration through body (not steering wheel) under acceleration

      I've noticed the same issue after changing the front shocks from OEM to KYB - and while I don't think the shocks are to blame, it could be that there's been an issue which the old shocks covered up by not working at all after 230,000kms. I've also changed the CV joints in mine, replaced the front suspension bushings; hoping that a wheel alignment and new tyres helps this - will post back in the morning the result. Adam,
