    2014 Corolla - Orange Peel

    Title it "Anyone having problems with Orange Peel?" Link to this thread. Briefly explain that your car has orange peel which you were being told was normal and you want to get opinions as to whether it is normal or not and photos to use as examples preferably. (Although I really think...

    2014 Corolla - Orange Peel

    Almost agree ... The fact that Nissan's have good paint doesn't mean that Orange Peel isn't "normal" for the Corolla and isn't a good argument ... But here's what you do ... Presumably, you will be at the body department for the selling dealer or meeting the district rep at a...

    2014 Corolla - Adding Cruise Control

    I think Donabed is confusing the smart entry with keyless entry. Keyless entry is just the button on the key or the fob that lets you press a button to lock/unlock the doors or trunk. Would need a receiver and tie into the lock modules, but shouldn't be too hard to install - about like adding...

    Tire Pressure

    I don't think so. Generally you will get better mileage and load carrying and harsher ride with higher tire pressure - but the key factor is how the tires will wear, and I can't tell you that.

    Tire Pressure

    What's an XL tire??? Unfortunately, really you need to see how they wear, but then it is too late. Look at the max pressure on the sidewall. Some tires have 44-51 psi max pressure now, so you probably could run 35-40 psi easily. Really though, if the center wears before the sides you need...

    2014 Corolla - Orange Peel

    2002 - it's been/is a good car - we've been over this. Understood - I was pointing out that the Focus rocker panels are the only time I've really heard of chip guard in the paint, and you wouldn't want your whole car to look like that. It is looking more and more like a lawyer will be your...

    Toyota Extra Care Platinum Warranty

    If you are happy with the deal, that is all that matters. Not sure what to make on the out-of-state price. I called Molle Toyota on June 11 and he asked if I was local and then said he would give me the internet price. Didn't say anything about having to drive in to sign the paperwork, and...

    2014 Corolla - Orange Peel

    Not for what you are talking about. They make speckle paint for the interior of trunks so you don't have to have a smooth surface, and they also make bed liner paint (Herculiner), etc. My Focus has some kind of non-smooth finish on the rocker panels for stone protection, but I'm not sure...

    Fog Lights

    Not quite sure what you are asking and laws vary from area to area. If you are asking if you can drive at night with ONLY fogs (no headlights) - that is usually illegal and the factory switch usually won't allow you to turn on the fog lights without the headlights. If you are asking if you can...

    Factory Tint Warranty Question...

    That's my point - about the lowest price around here is around $180. There are two (maybe three) warranties on window tint (if you get it done, not if it comes on the car): The shop will usually have some warranty against fading/air bubbles/discoloration - this is only as good as the shop...

    Factory Tint Warranty Question...

    Nice - but you are in FL - EVERYONE runs tinted windows and there are 3 window tint shops on every street. (Well, not quite, but you get the idea ...)

    Factory Tint Warranty Question...

    Basically, I think the technical term would be "Dealer installed 3-rd party accessory" and the warranty is whatever warranty the dealer wants to provide on it.

    Factory Tint Warranty Question...

    (OTOH - it isn't ALL bad news ... the dealer probably used a reputable shop.) If you were going to get the car tinted anyway or if you negotiated well ("I really didn't want tinted windows, but you already put it on the car and I'm here anyway and I like everything else, so if you will knock...

    Factory Tint Warranty Question...

    Donabed - I don't think so. As far as I know, there is no such thing as factory installed tint. Did the window sticker mention tint, or was there a small add-on sticker next to it that mentioned added tint? Typically, this is something that the dealership adds onto the car as a service (and a...

    Toyota Extra Care Platinum Warranty

    http://www.autonews.com/article/20130617/RETAIL02/306179966/toyota-limits-online-warranties Not sure what to make of this - the article is dated June 17, 2013, but I was quoted an extended warranty from a Missouri dealer after that and he asked if I was local and said he would give me the...
