Sounds like MTEC. You can get them off ebay among other places. PIAA are the bomb if you can get your hands on them.

I have Philip BlueVision. They ain't blue, but they are closer to white and good for visibility.

Can any of the Levin owners tell me how much of the rear mudspat is colour coded. Is it the whole thing (ie. both inside and outside part) or is it just the outside part. If it's the latter, where does the paint stop?

Just that I got mine done.

It's hard to see from the images but the paint stops just before where the plastic is raised a little bit. Due to this, the finish (where it start and finishes) is a bit jagged and doesn't look smooth.

I'm probably just being picky but would like it to look as nice as possible.

they just put the tint film over my stickers vvti and security/theft. they do not need to remove it.

Did any bubbles show up around the edges of the sticker?

Looks very nice!

How much did them springs lower your car by? They really give the car a more aggressive appearance.

Has anyone with a VVT-i (not VVT-Li) had their windows tinted yet?

I'm just wondering what happens to the VVT-i sticker at the back the window. Since its stuck on the inside of the glass, I figure they would need to remove it apply the window tint?

If so, did you guys end up getting a replacement sticker applied?

It's no big deal, just something I was wondering.

Has anyone had a shot at doing it? Any pointers?

Any advice would be appreciated :)

$75 seems too cheap. I reckon they'll use poor quality tint film.

Just go to any reputable place and ask for metallic tints (most are thesedays anyhow). Get it in 35% as it's darkest legal and looks the nicest :) . You should get a decent quote anywhere from $200 to $400.

Hopefully it'll come in black chrome..not just chrome chrome...

it'll match better with the black corollas.

i agree.... if anyone finds a set of those Black Chrome lamps that are ADR approved i'll be in for sure!

Hah! Good luck with the latter part :D

Looks great mate. Especially with the cars low stance. You MUST run into scraping problems with the lower lip driving around?

you can check www.2003corolla.org, and look under DIY section. But this is for non-sportivo corolla model.

Great stuff! B)

I got mine from Zenon alarms. They are the ones who used to fit out all Toyota fleet cars. They come highly recommended by MCT but I got them to install on my car through a friend. The best part is that they built the alarm into my current Toyota key so I don't have to lug another remote around.

Pulling up an old topic, but E-Gene, does your alarm chirp both when its locking and unlocking? Just that I got an upgrade alarm from MCT as well and it doesn't chirp when you open the doors.

heres a pic of my climate control panel, it looks alot beter at night but you get the idea

Looks great Screaminrolla!

Can someone give a little explaination on pulling the dash apart. I have still yet to find any guides online.

Depends on the make if you use narva they do fade if you use hella they don't I have had no fade at all. Also the other choice is a glass paint pen that works as well.

I've personally only seen Narva sleeves available at Repco and Autobarn. Have yet to see the ones made by Hella. Don't suppose you could share where you've found them? I'm very interested in testing them out.

Also, has anyone got a link for instructions on taking the dash apart? I've tried doing a search with no luck.

the bulb sleves dont make the lights dull as all u are doing is swapping the green ones for red ones so its about the same

Hmm... didn't realise there were stock green ones already.

Wouldn't using them bulb sleeves (condoms) make the the dash appear very dull in brightness?

Thanks for your help guys. All my questions have been answered. B)

FYI, I am located in Melbourne, AU. The TTR is pretty much just a cosmetically enhanced Accent (ie. with alloys, spoiler, and various colour coding). Didn't have enough golden coins for hte Sportivo so this should do for now. ;)

toyota team racing.

it's like 03 corollas/celical/mr2

they are like limited release

That's right. Mine '04 though. ;)

Hey Guys,

We've recently just added a brand new Corolla TTR to the family. B)

Just have a few questions you guys can hopefully answer.

Firstly, what's the plug/socket under the dash next to the bonnet lever for? Is there suppose to be a cover for it?

Secondly, what's that thing (hard to describe) that pops out, to the right of the power mirror controls? It looks like a coin holder maybe?

Lastly (for now ;) ), how many grill variations were there for the Corolla pre-facelift?

Overall, I have yet do much in the car yet (only got it this morning), but initial impressions are that handling is much better than expected. Especially from it's stance. Can't wait to get passed the break-in period so that I can have more fun and utilise the cars potential! B)

Only few negatives is that the compartment on the very right of the dash is flimsy and there seemed to a be a little dint in one of the panel (maybe even before it was painted), but hopefully those should be fixed.

Oh yeah, one more question (hope I'm not getting annoying), I've noticed the Toyota accessories site is now down for the Corolla. Are there any other ones for genuine parts on the net (oversea sites maybe). The only thing I got were carpet mats. Just want to find out if there is anything else that was useful that I didn't know about.

Thanks in advance.
