    So after reading all of the headlight retrofit posts, I finally bit the bullet and bought the parts from TRS. They were super rad and helpful when choosing everything. Once I got the parts the main problem became the fact I needed to find time between classes to actually complete the project in a day being that my baby is also my daily. I will post step by steps if anyone wants them but this is a general overview of the project. I also installed a Tanabe front underbrace, strut mount bar, chassis stiffener, GReddy engine monitoring system, roof cargo bin, and of course the light bar.

    I really should, I wanna put coilovers on first before I go into that nonsense now. I would need a 24mm corolla sway bar though if I do decide to do it though, right?

    I sprayed some lime green plasti-dip on it, just to spice it up a little for car meets because people love to look at shiny things and bright colors at meets.

    yeah the 03-08 corolla or matrix front bar fits. make sure you get the frame brackets and bushings with the bar. I bought mine on ebay from a junk yard for like $40.

    rear corolla bar fits too, apparently its heavier than the prius bar, but not as heavy as the Progress or TRD bars.
