nice car, but i don't really see anything VIP about it? and is it just the picture or did you replace the shifter with your switchbox?

It is a very nice Corolla, but I do agree with above, nothing really VIP about it...maybe the fitment...but other than that, it is more sporty hellaflush

Just recently decided to go the vip route so this is kinda what im working off of

[QUOTE=brainneeded;355283]nice car, but i don't really see anything VIP about it? and is it just the picture or did you replace the shifter with your switchbox?[/QUOTE]

i think it was in L in the picture

Ahhhhhhhhhh......it can be done...and you have a good start

Nice car .. but you are only vip inspired :biggthumpup: but its clean

[QUOTE=brainneeded;355283]nice car, but i don't really see anything VIP about it? [/QUOTE]
qft!:shrug:

The only lower level Toyota's I've seen pull it off were from Thailand.  Take notes from them:

[IMG]http://i630.photobucket.com/albums/uu21/non_camry/8-26.jpg[/IMG]

I think there's a ton of pics at [URL="http://www.camrythailand.com"]www.camrythailand.com[/URL], but you'll have to search for the vip builds as there will be a mix of all styles there.  

[URL="http://www.vipcarthailand.com"]www.vipcarthailand.com[/URL] will have plenty as well.  They are on the forefront of vip outside of Japan.  Many of their top guys are on point.

car is pretty nice, but i agree about nothing VIP. what kinda kit is that tho?

nice ride, I have always wanted to do a v8 swap in one like the TC drift car. Think it would be crazier than a KFC double down challenge

what bag set-up are you on?

Very nice, I never get tired of seeing that fitment on the Corolla :biggthumpup:!  Whats next?

Its called the RS lip made be racing solutions

one of the nicer corollas i've seen...good job!

It is one of the nicest corollas I have seen.  Much respect for doing something that most people won't touch.

i like this car. its gonna take a lil more work to make it vip "style" but if a hyundai sonata can pull it off you for sure can do it in the corolla:)

when you do the interior make sure you do something about covering the inside of the trunk lid too. it is weird for me to see a car trunk lid with bare bones..

also try camber the rims a little bit. i hardly see a vip/style car with the wheel this straight.

His wheels are straight cause he is no homo.. lol

torsion bar in the rear, need camber plates to camber the hubs lol.

word! that 'rolla is definitely VIP inspired.  good start, just get it cambered in the rear and you're set.

Oh yea I will be cleaning up all the economy corolla features

Thanks man

also you can do a disc brake conversion in the rear.  just an idea. :)

Yea i would love to but it is very hard to find a totaled corolla/matrix xrs

That's real nice.

White is a really great color for VIP Corollas.

So I saw this Corolla at a show recently.. It is definitely clean as shit.. I didn't find out he was going VIP til after the show, and I don't think I met him... If I'm not mistaken he racked up a trophy or two as well... Good luck with your build, and definitely checkout [URL="http://www.Dzuesvip.com"]http://www.dzeusvip.com/[/URL] for some more inspiration. After seeing what those guys are doing, I think anything can achieve the effect....

yea we meet man we were talking about the woodgrain pricing.

nice start man. I would do as elpresident mentioned, check out the Thailand forums: they have been doing crazy stuff to camrys and civics.

I passed you on Saturday... I'll admit I was impressed-good luck with your build.

thx man what were u driving?

looks gooood, i diggggg

fittment is almost where i want it. Rear disc conversion is going to be done soon

Needs a serious pull on the rear. IMHO sittin on tire is for VW's.
Nicest Corolla I've seen either way.

Your getting there! Here some more inspiration for you:dance:

i might be wrong, but i think that's an aurion/camry lol.

does not matter haha

[QUOTE=bOosty.ViP;368287]what does the rear disc conversion do?[/QUOTE]

simply just that, convert the rear drums to disks.

Word, needs more camber:biggthumpup:

[QUOTE=Juzzo;448687]Word, needs more camber:biggthumpup:[/QUOTE]
i'm generally not a huge fan of tons of camber... but the top of the wheel needs to come inside the fender ferreal. other than that, i really love what you've done to this car! :biggthumpup:

loose the rear camber.

trying to pull off that look without having any neg camber in the front just looks mehhh. 
Not that u should camber the front wheels of a FWD car anyway..

Camber the front or loose the rear camber...I prefer the later...

I have to run the rear to even come close to fitting the wheels until we start fender work. And front I am running -3 just the rear at -8 def lessens the apparence of the front camber

Personally, I LOVE it. Just get the bodywork done, and even out the stance

[QUOTE=volkgt7;448828]Personally, I LOVE it. Just get the bodywork done, and even out the stance[/QUOTE]

Thanks man yea that's the plan just a matter of getting my Cressida running so I can have some down time on the corolla since its my daily

i think the front end looks really really good now..thialandish. just gotta refine the fitment and rear end and youre on your way to the top!
 
 
are you gonna mold the bumper?  the line looks a little squiggly, and paint off a little

Definitely like this "unconventional" platform.  Fender & camber adjustments maybe, but you're already working on that.  To clean it up just a little, may I suggest removing some of the stickers on the rear window?

this has come a loooooooooong way, looking good man =)

favorite corolla of all times :)

nice!!! i'm trying to work on my 2010 Matrix.  far from what you got there, but only got the wheels so far.
