Posting up a few small mods I was able to do this morning. Awaiting many more including shift boot, short shifter, and now Milltek exhaust. Easy to complete in about 1.5 hrs! Smoked taillights (just the white part) & vinyl letters for GR Four.

Thank you Sir,
I have to give credit for the letters to a fellow member, "JimsGarageToys," as he was the first to do this. I will however, continue to make this car unique; while sharing any ideas I come across to help other GR Corolla car owners.

Thank you, I did not like the white transition of the rear lights either. There is a site that sales these precut for $21, but I bought a roll off Amazon for $14 and cut them myself. Still have plenty left for other projects!

Is it just standard window tint or something else more durable?

It is thick 3M vinyl, its pretty thick and can be heated, which I did after placing on lens. Its also air release technology, which works great:

The vinyl inlays look great.

Made a few additions and changes to interior wrap yesterday. Also, installed the Forge short shifter along with a new shift boot. IMG_1617 - Copy.JPG IMG_1618 - Copy.JPG IMG_1619 - Copy.JPG IMG_1620 - Copy.JPG IMG_1621.JPG IMG_1624.JPG

Where did you order the cf trim panels? Ive been a little concerned that mine will end up getting major scratches overtime.

Yeah, that was my concern too as I had read the piano black scratches easy. This is a vinyl wrap VVividd 3M. I had the gloss CF vinyl on at first, but changed my mind when I purchased the shifter boot. The console comes apart into a few pieces making it easier to wrap. I used a heat gun, although it was as necessary as the roof wrapping. It does help contouring around the edges.

Very nicely done.
