Found your channel while looking up a guide for putting some fog lights on my rolla, and I just gotta say your build is absolutely sick and incredibly inspiring. Thanks for being awesome!

[@BrandonStellmach]

Well you found the best channel! I do all things corolla! Thank you! 🙏

[@Pallidus_Rider]

It's amazing all the options you have with only $500. Could be a lot of little mods, one big mod, or a combination of the two. For my 9th gen Corolla, my favorite mod was the Magnaflow catback exhaust system, which I did when my catalytic converter needed replacement - although that was more than $500.

[@BrandonStellmach]

Yeah this was more of a combination of a bunch of little mods. I would rather get many mods for that amount, then to just get 1. Because I think my exhaust was a great upgrade, but it was almost $400. So you wouldn’t really be able to get anything else with that!

[@djavandenis787]

My catalytic converter is due to change and I’ve been thinking about getting a new exhaust with it as well. I looked up the exhaust system you were talking about but they only have it for 03-06 so I was wondering if that’s the one you got for you 9th gen Corolla

[@Pallidus_Rider]

@@djavandenis787 Hi, sorry for late reply. Yes the Magnaflow I got was for 03-08 (9th gen). The price of new catalytic converter from Toyota was close to $1,000 from dealership. Installed would have been more. I bought both catback exhaust and catalytic converter from Magnaflow for less than $1000 online and had it installed at local muffler shop for less than $200.

[@neontownescape]

My first $500 was spent on LEDs (headlights, parkers, reverse lights, interior lights) and throttle controller. Well worth it.

[@10thgenrolla]

Love your videos bro ! I got the same one as you’re corolla in black it’s been a project first car

[@BrandonStellmach]

Thank you! 🙏 And that’s awesome! Love to see other corolla builds out there!

[@michaelyang3025]

Good job, enjoy your posts every week. I have 2009 Corolla S, same color. Love the car, easy to maintain and work on. Very reliable mechanically speaking. I considered going with a wrap for the roof and hood, ended up rattle can repaint with color match paint and 2k clear coat. It's been fun so far

[@BrandonStellmach]

Thank you! I’m Glad you have been enjoying the videos! And rattle cans are much cheaper and easier as long as you know how to paint. But I agree this is such a good fun car to drive and work on!

[@wronggg]

Which paint can did you use exactly? Got the same car/color. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

[@xipxip3784]

Another great & helpful video Brandon. A lot of these can translate to the Camry as well.

[@BrandonStellmach]

Thank you! And a lot of mods I talked about are pretty universal so they would be great for a Camry as well!

I was going to give you some crap till I saw that you have a stick! Props to you on that!

[@tommyd6665]

2011 Corolla S (white), 1. Changed to a Sony Stereo, 2. Changed all speakers to JBL. 3. 5% tint back windows and 35% front. 4. Got my LED fog lights from Morimoto Retrofit . Gonna paint my rims next. And was planning on retrofitting my headlights but it’s too much work to do it myself and too expensive for someone to do it

[@BrandonStellmach]

That’s awesome! Love seeing others modifying their corollas! But your right the retrofits are pretty expensive, that take a while to do, that’s why I haven’t done mine yet!

hey brandon, it's me again! i just ordered the cheap radio you linked in the description and was wondering if you had a video tutorial on how to install it?

[@BrandonStellmach]

That’s awesome. And yes here is a video I made installing the radio. It’s one of my older videos. But should give you an idea how easy it is to replace! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pquTi4SYebl7d9E

[@kidlo2050]

I might vinyl wrap my roof, mirrors, and interior because the hood and mirror starting to fade and I like carbon fiber on dark gray. Then go for the footmats then my new radio with front speakers (kickers) since the blew the first pair. And I want some fins on the roof.

[@BrandonStellmach]

Yes some vinyl wrap goes a long way. And really helps with fading paint! But they are all great upgrades in any order!

[@edwardmoye1316]

Just got the deal of a lifetime. 2006 Corolla CE 1 owner 20k miles. Bare bones. The proverbial plain Jane Toyota. Time to improve it. Do you have video on how to add fog lights? In the future will also be doing front strut tower brace, exhaust, wheels,tires, light upgrade, audio upgrade as money allows. Looking forward to more videos. Thanks!!

[@BrandonStellmach]

That’s awesome! Very low miles for what it is! It’s like a Brand new car! But those 9th gen corollas can be made to be great cars! Here is an old video I made installing fog lights on my corolla. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j32Zpo1rpruHnJI

[@crisgeox]

Have you tried new window switches on the driver control panel? I bought those with white lights but the driver window does not work. It is great but I would like to solve my problem.

[@BrandonStellmach]

My car doesn’t have electronic windows. I have manual crank windows.

[@Z7V7A7]

yo brandon is this a 2009? if so i have the same one. where did you get your tail lights? i hate my circle OEM taillights. such a clean inspiring build!!

[@BrandonStellmach]

Yes this is a 2009 corolla! The tail lights are Vland tail lights!

[@raze_6474]

Ever thought of installing a strut bar? Curious on how much it will affect handling

[@BrandonStellmach]

Yes that has been something I plan on adding on in the future! And definitely give a good review on how it feels before and after!

[@silentgaming1197]

Upgraded Rear Strut bar is a must if you can install one. You'll be be smiling on every corner.

[@dodgeroller803]

That floor mat site doesn’t have any for manuals did you use just automatic ones in your Corolla?

[@BrandonStellmach]

Yes the automatic ones will work with the manuals!

[@saminjahan4037]

Are you still planning on doing a retrofit for your headlights? I want led projector headlights on my corolla and no one sells them.

[@BrandonStellmach]

Yes I have been wanting to do this, but haven’t had much time to actually do something like this because it takes some time to get everything perfect. So hopefully soon I will be doing that.

[@wesfields9322]

10th gen corolla sport . I'm looking to lower mine and repair and repaint the rims. Question. What was the strap coming out of your front bumper?

[@BrandonStellmach]

That’s awesome! And the strap is just a tow strap I added on. Mainly just for cosmetic. Nothing fancy. If you look at my older videos you will see me install it!

[@Angel-hm9ve]

What kind of mats did you buy specifically from the 3d mats website? None of the mats fit my Corolla 2007 unless none of them do

[@BrandonStellmach]

Looking over the website, it looks like they never made any mats for that generation corolla.

[@hkhatri12]

I've got a 12th Gen Corolla. This thing definitely has an issue with the noise. I've been on the search of finding out a way to figure out what exactly is causing that noise. Almost feels like it is coming from the windows sometimes and sometimes it feels like road noise.

[@BrandonStellmach]

It could be your side mirrors, I know that sometimes they can cause some bad wind noises!

[@hkhatri12]

@@BrandonStellmach interesting. That's the first time I heard about it. I haven't had time to figure out exactly where it is coming from. I'm going to read more about it and potential fix and post and update here for others with same issue. Thanks man!

[@deadboy3343]

I have a question do u need full new headlights to make them led or can you just buy led bulbs and put them in the stock ones?

[@deadboy3343]

Also my car is the same as yours same color I got the same tints as u lol except I have the windshield also got the rain visors they are sexy, and I got hyper dip on the way to black out the emblems

[@silentgaming1197]

You can buy LED bulbs for everything except the high and low beam because those housing are meant for halogen bulbs. Unless you just care for aesthetic looks. If you put LED in those housing the light will scatter everywhere you're just going to blind people. And the beam won't throw as far.

[@BrandonStellmach]

Pretty much what silent gaming said, you can put LED’s in the stock housings. (Which is what I have done) but you may blind people for oncoming traffic. I have tried to aim mine a little lower so I don’t affect people. Plus I am lowered about 3 inches too! And I haven’t been flashed or honked at yet.

[@tehamijamil2371]

do you have the same stock battery for everything you’ve added to the corolla? how much more power of a battery did you have to switch to?

I still have a stock Toyota battery in the car, there has not been any reason to upgrade!

@@BrandonStellmach damn fr? my brother was talking about the more shit you add you gotta be careful not to add more than the battery can handle. guess he was wrong or something idk

[@BrandonStellmach]

Some people say you might need to upgrade your alternator to a higher amperage, but that’s usually when they have some crazy bass setup needing a bunch of power. But all the things I have added don’t need much power to run.

The website I ordered them from is no longer available. But you should be able to find them on fitment industries, because I was going to order them from there before I found them cheaper on another website.

Hey Brandon, this is unrelated but it’s worth a shot to ask. Does your car run rough when coming to stop or in reverse? The RPM will drop to near 400 then go back to 600. This is a common problem and no can seems to figure it out.

[@BrandonStellmach]

Yes my corolla does this sometimes. Not sure why it does. I was told it was my alternator, and I replaced it, it seemed to help for a few days and then it started doing it again. I have change the spark plugs, clean the throttle body. And none of those fixed it. The next thing is to try and replace my coil packs to hopefully fix it.
