Silver Levin

Hi Guys

I own a 2003 Corolla hatch and i want to darken the tailights from the normal red to a much darker shade. I have attached a picture for example below.

Anyone know how this is done? or whether it is just a complete new set of taillights?

thanks.

p.S i'm in melbourne

Stock Silver sportivo...always parked at the same spot on the top floor of car park in off Queen St in Melb.

During my break, i look down from the building and its always there....

ALso, another silver sportivo (stock?) driving down Burwood Hwy at around 6pm towards city (and just past Middleborough).

THx.

A mate and I are going to Tint Professor for $500 (both). Their darkest legal. ANd also getting our back windows tinted 20% darker than std.

Any of you guys have the practically black back windows? what u think? implications? too dark too see?

thx!

thanks guys! i appreciate ur help.

Mine's a levin auto. So i prolly wont exploit the CAI as much as u ppl...but u have affirmed the KN filter.

thanks!

ANyone of u guys know whether Typhoon is on holidays or closed business? If on holidays, til when?

Coz i tried calling their number several times but their number seems to be disconnected 98738813.

Or maybe they went on holidays and just forgot to pay their phone bills

i have a sportivo grille and didnt like the mesh either so i brought some from super cheap cut it out and it looks great

←

can u post some pictures of ur grille with the mesh?

thx.

Hey GUys,

Can anyone suggest a good place for window tinting in MELBOURNE??

i want darkest legal 35% metal????

so far im booked in for tint professor at nunawanding for $265 (premier one) this satday.

any good? any other suggestions?

Hey Waiwong38,

I am thinking of getting the C-one grille myself coz its thicker up top and hte mesh seems tighter knit.

But looking at ur pics, it looked like the mesh b/w C-one and TRD are the same. Is that right? or did u change the mesh.

I have a silver corolla so i think a tighter knit mesh will have more silver looking on the mesh. better.

if its not tighter or any different...mmm...maybe id just get the oem grille for half the cost.

Thx Kcorro.

I had a read of the past threads. But didnt say much.

NEW QUESTION: for a panel air filter, which is best : oil-based air filter (e.g KN) or foam air filter (e.g TOMs)?

which is better? considering that oil based u have to clean? (when and how to clean?) how about foam based? (when and how to clean it?)

Hello,

I'm looking at changing my drop in air filter for 03 levin auto. THe TRD and TOMS look different. TRD is the red blinds looking one, where as the TOMS looks like red foam covered in white meshy thing..

which is better?

any other suggetsions of a good air filter?

thx

Hair dryer, dental floss that's all you need.

Use the hair dryer to warm up the badges so the sticky stuff gets soft, and use dental floss behind the badge in a sawing motion and it will just come off.

Then get some goo removing agent and clean off the mess, and wollah.

Thanks man!

TOday a guy told me just use a credit card taped in sticky tape and use in behind the badge in a sawing motion similar to dental floss.

Nonethless, your contribution is much appreciated! Sounds like ur way may be the easier, quicker and less messy way too!

Coz i spent heaps of time trying to take off the guey glue stuff

Where can i get the OEM grilles? How much? Quality? Plastic or metal border & mesh etc?

I want to take off the "1.8" silver emblem on the side of my corolla (i.e under the indicator lights).

SHould i just slowly rip them off? or does anyone know a safe way of taking them off w/o damaging the paint or leaving some sort of mark?

thanks!
