Corolla Exterior mods?

[Rob Richardson]

So just got new black Mirrors on my corolla and I was wondering what other mods for the exterior I can or should do?

it now has 154K miles and I recently disabled the DRL”S so that was cool but now im running out of ideas for MOds and I need advice I want a rear visor and taillights but I just got laid off from my job so idk when im getting my paycheck.

THanks to all who have ideas or view this

Are you mainly going for looks? the mods i can think of for exterior are: front/rear bumpers, a good tint, clean headlights(auto zone has a good headlight cleaning kit for around 20-25$), HID’s, wind deflectors, license plate re-locator, smoke tail lights(may be Illegal in some states not too sure), lowered, 2.5 to 3 in exhaust, just to name a few.

It all depends on your tastes and how deep your wallet is. Hope this helped in some way to get you some ideas on what you really want to do. Its your car so make it unique according to your liking.

Wind deflectors are a must I’ll chek on smoked tailight laws for Maryland. I don’t want to lower the car because I’m trying to make it a rally car it already has a 6 speed. I do need a new driver side headlight. The exhaust is the major worry for me as it’s rusting and I belive it has a hole over the back axle. I might get a custom straight pipe with a nice tip. I definitely might plasti dip the hood and roof. My birthday is next month so I might have the $ to do all this.

My favorite mod to every car: convex mirrors. I’ve found it less practical for my Elantra/Impala because of their smaller size, but they can still be immensely helpful in freeway traffic here in SoCal if used right.

convex mirrors where would I find those?

also my ac stopped working yesterday and Im thinking of getting rid of the compressor since its rusted out I was wondering if I did that would I lose my heating system? I like my heat cause it makes my exhaust louder. im also thinking seat covers would be nice or?

Convex mirrors are just small round mirrors sold at auto stores to help with blind spots. On a Corolla, they likely aren’t necessary (but I like any safety thing I can thrown on a car).

You wouldn’t lose your heat by removing your AC condenser. I don’t know your engine design well enough to say if you can remove the compressor or not. If you only have one drive belt, then you won’t be able to remove the AC compressor unless you get a shorter belt. The heating system shouldn’t affect your exhaust.
