mmmmmmm Gunmetal.

:)

[KenYork]

i like the grill opening but not the lines on the bumper.

[FLIPDADY]

Nice paint job but it\'s still a Corolla.

[majic]

although it looks like a sentra from the front.. :p

[TheProfessor]

If all you did was the paint then nice work. If you had a hand in \'building\' the car, I\'ll reserve comment.

You are absolutely correct, however there is nothing sporty about the Corolla. It is a reliable commuter car, plain and simple.

.... and mazda 3 is not a commuter car?

if you think the mazda 3 is a sportier car then thats cool. but what is your point by telling me that on this thread?

[majic]

ooooooooohhh... then it looks very nice :D

[Broli]

funny you know what \"rice\" is

My list is merely to show what I have done to my 3.
Perhaps it\'s a modification, perhaps it\'s not. I personally believe that it is.

I DO NOT appreciate your sarcastic comment. I happen to believe that my car is tasteful. My mods are subtle.

I was pointing out the fact that a wing on a corolla other than the stock spoiler would look inappropriate and to an extent, yes \"Ricerish\" (if I may use this word).

you are indirectly calling my car ricey because I supposedly DO NOT know what rice is.

[Jeff-TheBiz]

Looks nice.

Wheres my lip!

Ok... this is a long time coming, but first, I\'m going to get get technical here.

Merriam Webster defines modification (or mod for short) as (among other things) the making of a limited change in something. Since the Mazda 3 doesn\'t come with an Axela badge or a CX-7 stubby in North America, this actually does count as a modification.

Now here\'s what I have to say.

I am SICK AND ****ING TIRED OF ALL THE SLAGGING, INSULTING AND BERATING THAT GOES ON HERE. We\'re supposed to be a goddamn community, not a bunch of bickering Grade 6-ers.

If you got something useful to say, by all means, say it. If you want to slag on someone, do it on PM or don\'t do it all. My grandmother used to say, if you don\'t have anything nice to say, it\'s best not to say it at all.

Man, was she right.

Mine too! ;) but didnt I already mention that? Anyways.....carolla is nice... My 3 would look nice too with a GV lip...... ;)

[FLIPDADY]

He\'s just bitter b/c I sold his AXELA badge and stubby to someone else.:p

[chinsterr]

lol, you guys crack me up

[justin]

We try our best. ;)

[Whos ur dadd]

I think it looks great.

I personally like wings - adds a flair of sportiness. Absolutely zero functionality with FWD cars...

[azn_outlaw]

Great looking paint job...

at least its an alternative too your everday Honda Civic with a paintjob

what i wanted to ask is...

the front end looks like it has another set of headlights and corners....would this be from a newer Corolla?

but the front bumper flows really nicey but needs an intercooler in there

all in all Great job

[b]

Love the colour. I think I will need a paint job in another year with all the stone chips I have.

Yup we did a 2001-2002 corolla headlight conversion for him. looks a lot better then the 98-2000 headlights. and yes lol a intercooler would be nice.
