Looks alright.
The wheels are a bit old school but with a mesh on there, I think

The base model is far more boring than this tuner model. Was this the same one that was at SEMA?
It is.

Hello camry jr!!

at least its a bit more aggressive then the older models. Which are too conservative and flat.

Before you comment on the "boring" styling, you guys also have to consider that, tuned or not, it is still a Corolla, and is not supposed to be a Dodge Viper.

If everything on the road looked and drove like sports cars, then sports cars, themselves, would have little or no meaning.

I call those wheels the flying saucer wheels. They look rediculous on any car.
