Pretty rad right?

The bumper can be polarizing. They are trying to keep it close to their GR Yaris build. But we are glad you found some positives. Too many people these days just point out negative.

@@JustDriven While the Corolla has plenty of lines, they're smooth and curved. The square opening of the front bumper just looks opposite to me. However, people buy body kits to alter the looks of their cars, so I'm sure some will like it. I've never been a fan of these multi-outlet exhaust systems. I know Tom's goes crazy on their Lexus exhausts, but I don't like the BMW M Performance or the Civic Type R exhausts either, so not for me. Again, some will like. As for the wheels, I love a lot of the Tom's wheels, they have one of my all time favorites, but the polished look and the size just don't work for me. Seems more VIP than rally/race performance to me. I'm also not into the forged carbon look. I love the seats and was happy to hear they will fit the larger physical frame. I must ask how you were able to fit them without triggering any of the SRS lights. These I will buy, along with the suspension and the rear spoiler when it becomes available.

When you are ready just hit us for the seats and other parts. We even have the SRS light trick for you. It was developed on our car earlier on.

We think TOM'S did a great job. It even matches their Yaris too!

Thanks!

Thank you. You are absolutely right, but so glad you are able to see some positivity. Too many people like to point out the negativity.

Thank you! We think it's pretty different from the Toyota factory, but still looks great.

They'll be available soon and you can order them from us! Just Driven dot com

Same! The piano black looks nice until you touch it, then it's a total fingerprint magnet!

Thank you!

It looks even better in person!

Thank you!

We left the keys with Alex and now we can't find them. Coincidence?

Thanks again!!! *Beep-Beep* Vroooooom

@@negativeindustrial can I get a ride when you get them keys lol. I really wanna test out those seats since I’m a bigger guy need to know how they fit fat 😂

@negativeindustrial Are you censoring expletives? Or is that the sound of the Toyota horn?

@Doomz87 They are accommodating. But we make no guarantees and we don't fat shame, unless it's Alex, then we just really enjoy it.

Thank you so much!

Yah, it transforms the look of the car.

Thank you so much!

When you get the hood from Toyota it is their standard black e-coat stuff. You will need to prep and paint the hood to match.

This is still the prototype kit but when it is made available you'll be able to purchase directly from us at justdriven dot com.

I want that backend with the spoiler and exhaust...and maybe the mid spoiler too just for some extra zazz

We have been talking to TOM's and it doesn't sound like it will be released at this time.

But then it wouldn't be a Corolla. It'd be a Yaris. Unless that's your point...haha.

@@JustDriven the 86 is THE COROLLA. It'd still be bigger, stiffer, and wider stance. GR Corolla could have been the actual send off for the most famous Toyota. Difference in opinion is ok tho! Still a beautiful car.

We don't really have a different opinion. We have actually talked about putting the GR Corolla engine into a GR86 for funsies. But we have too many other builds to finish first.

@@JustDriven oh I mean the original ae86. Lol. The GR Corolla being an actual Corolla, is the reason. I've got both and I'm currently doing a door delete and matching the paint.

The last we heard most of the parts will be available in the spring. We will have them on our website when they become available. We also may do a video update when they do finally make them available to the public.

Where the hell is that?

Are you asking because you haven't googled it yet?

We are using Cusco Rear Upper Camber arms that are adjustable. Any parts you need let us know and we can get you pricing! Best way to do that is to DM us on Instagram or email info (@) justdriven.com

We are expecting more information from TOMs Japan next month or so on pricing and availabilities. We suspect not everything on our world premier demo car will make it to market. Is there something in particular you're trying to get your hands on?

It's a TOM's prototype spoiler. It'll be available through our website once TOM's releases it.

They'll be available soon!

​@@JustDrivenu guys have a website

They have not been released from TOM's just yet. You'll find them on our (under construction) website when they are available to the public.

A lot of the things on our GRC are still in the prototype phase. We will have them available on our website once they are released. Go to Justdriven dot com when you're ready. As for the front bumper...it's different. We like different. The looks are polarizing and we appreciate it's not for everyone.

@@JustDriven Thanks. I don't mind different either, but I have to like it if I'm going to do it. 😉😎

You are not wrong! Wonder what some softer edges would do to the front bumper. It'll be cool to see what else the aftermarket brings to it. Not a lot of JDM attention on the GRC because it's not being sold there so it's great to see TOM'S putting the effort in.

We wanted 6 but couldn't figure out how to make it work.

No, it will not fit.

@@JustDriven TOM'S rear bumper in the works? Is there a list for the parts, available? Curious to see what's all to come. Thanks.

They have a rear diffuser piece to allow for the exhaust to fit properly. It's in the works and will be available on our website as soon as it is available.

@@JustDriven Meant to say, diffuser. How about the front? Will that lip fit the OEM bumper? Doesn't look like so, but had to ask. Hopefully, a lip kit that will fit the OEM body and not heavy modifications to fit.

The piano black fad needs to fade into oblivion. Maybe the people from TOM'S will hear your cries and update the center console?

@@JustDriven I agree…Toyota need to address it and understand that people don’t actually like it and just tolerate it because there’s no other choice. Hopefully they can come out with complete piano black delete for the interior in the aftermarket or I’ll have to vinyl wrap it/matte PPF maybe. 🤔

Maybe. Let's hope. They also need to stop that "stick on" looking navigation monitors. Break away Toyota! You can do it.

@@JustDriven OK so I’m not the only one who hates the fact that all these companies have these head units on vehicles that look like they are an afterthought! I also don’t like technology for the sake of technology, and if you are going to change something it needs to have an actual benefit to the end-user. I like buttons and knobs over capacitive touch and menu style systems. While I understand that they can add a lot more features when they bury options in menus and there are lots of benefits like Apple CarPlay, which make life easier. There are certain things that just don’t need to be changed and they end up adding complexity and parts to repair in the future… I’m not saying that things were better back in the day, but I think it needs to be a blend of old school and new school tech. Sorry that turned into a bit of a rant 😂.

Rants are fine. Now that we got that out of our systems we can talk about how in this overly EV world we live in companies like Toyota are releasing manual transmission turbo charged fun vehicles for us to enjoy!

Do you mean the bumper and wing? Not sure if TOM'S is the market to sell CFP bumpers? Maybe. It would be interesting to find out! And badass to see!

@JustDriven The spoiler and the canards and other little pieces. I'm waiting for somebody to make a nice carbon fiber hood with maybe even a scoop on it. That's the only bad thing about being one the first people to own a GR Corolla is there's not too many parts out yet

They tried and keep it similar to their Yaris kit we suspect.

@@JustDriven that makes sense

TOM'S GR Corolla Type TK (by Takamoto Katsuta). Takamoto, rally driver for Toyota Gazoo Racing helped design the kit for this and the GR Yaris. So it's a little wild for TOM'S usual style but we still dig it.

The GR Yaris was designed for rally.

@@JustDriven The inspiration for both of these cars is rally. “Rooted in rally, developed under the scrutiny of master driver Akio Toyoda and inspired by Toyota’s sports car lineage”-Toyota USA Newsroom. Anyone can do whatever they want with their cars, but to take a rally inspired car and lower it makes no sense.

It does actually. Just because it's initial inspiration was rally does not mean every owner will use theirs for this purpose. We did not plan to use it for any rally racing but instead we wanted to use it for time attack. Just like so many Evos, STIs, Focus RSs, and so many other "rally inspired" vehicles in recent years being used for time attack. Not ridiculous, just something different.

@@JustDriven The topic isn’t about other cars, it’s about GR Corolla. You keep trying to justify the decisions here by bringing up irrelevant topics and cars. The inspiration is rally, and it’s an AWD car meant for all driving terrain and purpose. To lower the car is counter intuitive to its purpose and design.

What would have rather seen us do to this build?

The kit looks on brand with their GR Yaris kit. We know the kit is not for everyone but we still dig it. We would love some TEs or CEs under the arches to really set it off.
