yeh seen the movie millions of time but still love it xD JAY CHOU FTW.. but yeh.. good movie..

Jay Chou eh? I thought he was some singer. Kept seeing posters up for his Sydney concert every time I went to Easy Way.

Yeah he is a singer he just diversified. Its not that strange for singers to go into film or actors go into music

Haha yeah that sounds like initial d. It was the live action one with jay chow. Go Hachi Roku!

Car is looking really good mate. How come you used K&N filter? Is the one supplied with TRD too long?

Yep. Since mine is a facelift model the foglight is completely different to the prefacelift one and it sticks out a lot more which goes in the way of the pod filter. I still have it lying around somewhere.

Azza car looking great :toast:

. Who are doing the angel eyes for you?

Me of course. Have you seen this thread?

I am really interested in doing the projectors/angel eyes

car is coming along great!!

pretty impressed with that engine cover... any chance for a `group discount from your family associate?

if not, what would it cost singularly

cheers

I painted the engine cover myself haha. But if you are talking about the eyelids then not too sure. But i know they should only cost around $80-$100

Hands up if this has inspired you to do this! *sticks hands up*

Today I did the JDM tail lights, installed eyelids and installed 2/4 illuminated door sills. What an afternoon

Done!

A little disappointed with the quality of the painting due to the low quality of the actual eyelids. Since they were made from fibreglass it was really hard to sand as bits of fibre would fall off. But overall my car looks really good with them on! ( I really should start a my ride thread since I also did the JDM Taillight mod today as well as 2/4 illuminated door sills. didn't have enough light to finish off all 3 mods...)

Pics:

Right eyelid

Left eyelid

Done!

Just to add how I did it.

I took the lights off the car and I used a soldering iron to melt the hole. Then I drilled holes on the plate and stuck the wire down it and screwed in a screw to hold it in place. Thanks and1 for that tip!

Pics:

No lights at all

Brake lights

JDM not done

JDM!

Just parkers

With Brakes

With indicators

With reverse light

I'd be very interested in hooking up a true keyless ignition system into my car (05 sportivo). Any pointers Daryl? ie what brand etc?

Oh wow thanks and1. That looks a lot easier to do as i've been reading that most people have been probems with the solder sticking to the contacts. I'll give this a go and post up my results =)

Also go my bulbs from k-mart. $4.00 Austa Stop-indicator-reverse globe 12 volt 21 watt Item# 382

Just opened up my tail lights to have a look at what needs to be done. Facelift model. Finding the last screw was a pain (the top one) but once I had everything off, the only things needed to be done was to solder a piece of wire from the brake light contact to the new one and put the bulb in. and drill/burn out the hole. Simple just need to buy some bulbs and I'll probably install it tomorrow.

A big thanks to jaderd for making this a whole lot easier =)

So the reason to install one of these is just because of the "look" factor?

I want to install one of these where you just have to have the keys in your pocket and you can just push the button to start the car without having the key in the ignition...

Since I don't have a ride page yet I'll just update here till they are on my car haha. Went to check on them today and the guys just started sanding them. However he just mixed up a batch of paint in the same colour as my car for another repair so hopefully they will get painted tomorrow morning (yes they work on saturdays).

Keep you guys posted as I hear more info about them. (I'll take some before shots.....)

Yet another politician trying to justify their worth by doing nothing.

+1

So for NSW there is the new speeding rules that I believe is the raise revenue. Now this. Whats next? raising the legal driving age to 25? lol

You got to hand it to everyone tho. Every post was in a different section of the forum haha. But on topic, will this apply if i get king lows? Cause I know they lower your car by 3.5 cm so what happens then?

hehehe 2 members on these forums just got eyelids for their facelift corolla. I think it will fit yours but you'll have to do a bit more research. http://topstage.com.au/ got to products -> toyota -> corolla.

Cost about $80 to "custom" make them then $20 for postage. The best thing would be to send them an email to see if they'll post your way

eyelids look good!

are those seat covers by the company `OXS?

I'm pretty sure they are called AXS

dam the eyelids look nice! Mine r in the shop

which shop did you end up using?

Dad saw my eyelids and said "why don't you ask X to do them?" so i'm like ok. The person is a family friend and is doing them for me for like nothing. When he looked at them he was like shocked to see how bad a quality they were in haha
