World's worst Tercel

-edited out goodbye post-

Just a couple quick phone pics from car wash on Friday night. Hopefully not gonna have this car too much longer. I miss having a big car that I feel safe in and plus big bodies are the best. Thinking about getting another LS400 like I used to have... Anyway, all stickers are removed now as an attempt to hopefully keep any temptations of more mods at bay.









This was my old LS

I for one like the body color lips with gold centers. Go for it and see how it looks. Polished lips and gold centers are used all of the time and it would be something new and IMO awesome.

I'm with you, I think it looks awesome.

[Lukey]

i like it!

[nishy]

Either body-color centers with polished lips or gold centers with polished lips. Grab your sandpaper and get to work!

Not entirely sold on the wheel paint. But i'll save my judgement for when they're actually mounted haha. Overall not a bad job!

Ok ok ok, I'm a little bit of a bitch for posting before the wheels are on the car, but tires should be here tomorrow. Stretch the same size 155/55s

Here's why I'm so excited. Me and @wilsonbr color matched the lips with Toyota 6N7 factory paint, and the faces are the same metallic gold that my valve cover is. Way different than any set of 01s that I've ever seen, but they look so so good in person. I don't think pictures quite do it justice.










I also forgot to post a pic of the HKS on the car. It sounds amazing and isn't too loud at all. I'm super impressed. 10/10

This is actually really cool for one of my least favourite body style of corolla, looking forworks to seeing it on equips!

[nishy]

I have a fucking problem lmao. Picked up these equips for just over $600, but they're in dire need of a full refinish. Clear cost is peeling, lips are stained with some kind of spots, bolts are faded... but for that much of a deal I didn't want to pass them up.

After considering my adapters, the specs are 14x6.5 -13 for the front, and 14x7 -5 for the rear. About 2 5/8 and 3 1/4" lips respectively. Gonna run the same 155/55 tires... will be hella aggressive for a tercel but I'm excited. I've never polished a wheel from scratch before, anyone have tips or advice? I'm not in a rush, and I know it's a long process

Here's some potato pics I snapped with my phone yesterday cause I was just so excited. You can see the worst wheel is the one without a center cap

This car looks familiar...

Me and my friend (@wilsonbr on instagram) went out to Texas Motor Speedway on Saturday and took some dope rolling shots of our cars. I absolutely love how they came out!













Then we went back to his place and put on some itty bitty mud flaps I got from Puerto Rico. They're a small detail, but really help square out the car and make it look as low as it actually is. The main problem with 90s Toyotas is that they're so rounded on the bottom, the edges are way higher than the center of the car. They really seem to complete the car. I got the muffler in the mail, so that'll go on in a week or so when I have time to go to a shop. Then I'm gonna reorder new badges for the trunk, and new door drip molding. Possibly looking for other wheels that might fill the horizontal gap these leave. It's only about 10 mmm or so, so it's not a huge deal.
