    huey: man black is so hard to keep clean

  2. :D thanks. I'm deciding on respraying my rims lol. dunno what colour though. thinking more of like a dark grey or gloss black.

    got the plates from my girlfriend for my bday! awesome present :D

    Just 3 quick pictures I took before work.

    Shall post up more when I give it a wash on the weekend :)

    Car currently sitting on stock springs. Pedders springs currently collecting fairy dust in the garage so I can fly with peter pan.

  4. got a crazy quote for foglights for my rolla from Toyota Castle Hill - $750?!?! and that's just the parts.. damn i hope Mars Performacnce stock some aftermarket ones soon. But for now I've decided to get some Toyota Owners Club Australia HID's (6000k) installed on Wednesday morning ($200 for lows, highs, and parkers).

    Thats quite expensive for hid's.

    I got mine for like 75.

    that included 8k low beams and parkers.

    Installation isn't that difficult. If you need ill just post some pics up on how you do it.

  5. The place is called http://www.marsperformance.com/ and they are located at Moorabbin. It's gonna be around 150.

    That place is pretty good, but majority of there stock is for luxury cars.

    Ah I know that place - I actually contacted them but they said they had no stock at all for facelift hatchbacks; but they didn't even tell me whether they were gonna get any at all.

    lol, yeah i've purchased from them before so they kinda know me. Hopefully he gets them in earlier than 3 months lol. I wanna get rid of those plastic covers already

  6. So i've gotten a quote back from Le Mans Toyota Spare Parts in Footscray:

    - MUDGUARD,SIDE $320 <-- this is what they supposedly refer to the side skirt as??

    -> comes painted already, and price is for one side so double the price for both sides.

    -> two side skirts = $640

    - SPOILER, FRONT, $180

    -> to get this painted approx $200, and price is also for one side so double the price for both sides.

    -> two sides for the front spoiler, painted, approx = $560

    *N.B. I don't know why the front lip comes in 2 pieces??

    All up about 1.2k and these prices exclude installation.

    Anyone know anywhere else I could source these from?

    lol nah don't trust that le mans in footscray. they are just rip offs. My best mate works there and he tells me how they jack up prices like crazy.

  7. hey guys, just wondering if the installation of front lip and side skirts to an ascent hatch facelift would be an easy DIY? I'm assuming all that's involved is double sided taping and screwing in the lip/skirts? (Are there already holes precut in the front bumper and sides for this or do we drill our own holes in?) Just wondering because I'm trying to source sideskirts/front lip from a toyota dealer and thinking it will be cheaper if I install by myself? Cheers.

    Hey tell us how you go about buying the skirts and front lip. I'm also currently looking to get some :).

  8. Haha alright, thanks guys. Only reason I would have thought to do the rims first is because I'm gonna be running on the stock steelies if I don't haha. Unless I do the lowering and rims in one hit :D I was thinking either black rims with the red strip or black with machine/chrome lip and drop it to a "sensible" yet "low enough" height (don't want to be scraping all over speed-bumps lol).

    Thats exactly what i've done. i gotten myself some black rims with the red lip. now i just need to lower :D and get myself some foggies.

    I shall post some pics up soon so you can see what it'll look like with the black and red.

  9. hey guys,

    I've just change my wheels from a 15 to an 18x8 with an +35 offset. I've been driving it around for afew days and to me it feels like i need a wheel alignment, but my friends are saying it's fine. Do you need to do a wheel alignment after you change a set of wheels and tyres?

    I currently driving a zre152
