Just took some pictures today after washing it. Some of them did not turn out as good as I thought they would. I guess I need to get a tripod or take pictures during daytime next time.:cool:

Mods so far:

Injen Cold Air Intake
Greddy Street Performance 2 Exhaust
Tein H-Tech Springs
Kumho ECSTA ASX 215/50/16 ZR-rated race track tires
20% tint at the back and 35% tint at the front

Nice and classy!

Now you need some nice aftermarket wheels to compliment the drop.

Keep up the good work!

I had contemplated getting aftermarket wheels, but decided against it because larger wheels means thinner lower profile tires, which will make the ride even more choppier. I will see later on, if I can change my mind. LOL.:D

Who said you had to go larger???

If you're comfortable staying with 16in, you can stay with 16in diameter.

You could also upgrade to some 215/50r17 which is standard size rims on the matrix xrs. Really not too bad of a ride...

Yeah, 16 inch aftermarket rims could be another option. Even then, the reason would be to upgrade the width of the rims from 6.5 inches to 7 inches and reduce rotational mass. In addition, I spent a fairly big amount to buy the Kumho tires plus I really like the look of the stock rims.

As for 17 inches, Corolla XRS has a weird rolling radius (a bit smaller than the Matrix XRS) so for 17 inch wheels, it will have to be 215/45/17 in order to keep the rolling radius the same (stock 195/55/16).
