Hey guys, my name is Nick, I drive a 2008 Toyota Corolla S. Seen alot of TST guys around, I go to the Oaks and Downingtown meets every so often. Some of you may of seen my car before, who knows. But I figured I'd register in the forums. I'm a huge fan of cars. list of my cars are 98 Cobra, 99 Firebird, and 02 WRX. Unfortunately my WRX took a crap on me and I needed something more "economical" so I decied to pick up my corolla brand new. It's an alright car, I know it's not fast, not trying to make it fast. I promised myself I would save my money and try to stay away from modding cars, but I couldn't help it. All I have done to my car is AEM short ram, Greddy Sp2 exhaust, and a few cosmetic mods. I'm a member over at 9thgencorolla.com (go figure) but enough of me rambling. just wanted to say hello.

haha the cops really haven't said anything yet, I drive past them all the time, so far so good. as for visibility they are terrible. city driving is fine, only because the streets are lit up already, but driving suburb back roads, they aren't the greatest. Depending on weather conditions, if it's foggy or rain I usually have them off when I drive. they are covers btw just incase you haven't took notice, I couldnt use actual tint on the headlights, too much of a risk. I'm about to bake my headlights and paint the housing gloss black to match my upper and lower grille, and ditch the covers.

Sounds like a better idea than the covers. I used to see them on cars all the time back in the day never really liked the idea since it dims your headlights... i like being able to see more not less

Car looks good BTW and yes you need springs to get rid of that wheel gap.
