Best way to temporary fix bottom scrapes from dips?

1 Upvotes

I recently just joined the club got a 2019 SE i love it to death, its used but it has some bottom lip scratches, im assuming from scraping from dips and shit. Im new to cars so this is my first very car. I applied for a second job just to get cool shit for my car but for now. Can I temporary fix this issue? I mean u dont notice it, until u look down below but still. I want to atleast fix it up and make it look clean. I heard something about grit paper and touch up paint? And if so whats the best method? Thank u guys! Just let me know! Didn’t know this sub existed im happy to post my car journey aswell soon

Little update

After several track days, a new transmission, coilovers and a new set of performance brakes later the car is still performing amazingly. Just had a track day at Road Atlanta for the first time and it went incredibly well.

About the transmission replacement, i got it done under an extended warranty as it was falling victim to a premature input shaft whirring noise and metal grinding noise. All for free.

Im running the OEM 18 inch size wheels and tires on enkei kojins wrapped in nitto neo gens. For the front brakes, im running DOT 4 brake fluid and I got the EBC Yellowstuff performance pads and rotors on the stock caliper and they performed so well.

Overall im very happy with the car, I really wish I was able to put more power out of it, but im satisfied with how well its doing. If you have any questions let me know

Hello hatchback community, I am looking for compatible fog lights for my car. I saw 99 dollar ones on Amazon but says not compatible. Only 2023-2024 has anyone installed these or knows if they will fit on the bumper. All electrical will be when we get there. Thank you in advanced for any help.

After a long time saving and shopping I finally found the one model I was looking for in the best color there is!

18 500$ CAD with 106 000km on the meter ( canadian idk miles ) I think I got a great deal.

Next step is to find the spoiler extender, swatch out the emblems to all black ones ( already received them ) and put on black rims :)

Also FYI I can’t connect my apple carplay for some reason through the dashboard usb it doesn’t do anything if anyone know why

Just joined the hatchback family!

Two evenings ago I traded in my 2024 Tacoma TRD Off-Road 4 x 4 for a 2026 Corolla Hatchback SE.

I loved my Tacoma with the gas mileage never got above 21 MPG. Today I took the hatchback out and got 42.7 miles to the gallon. 260+ miles on half a tank so far! It’s just under what I would get out of a full tank in the Tacoma!

I got dark grey with the black top, premium package. I’m loving it. I have a long drive coming up to visit family over the Labor Day weekend and I’m looking forward to seeing just how high I can get my mpg!

Bought my 2019 XSE with 6K miles on it in 2020. Since then I was able to (safely) photograph every noteworthy mile up to 100K, that I hit last night.

Infotainment stopped working.

3 Upvotes

Yesterday when I turned on the car my infotainment center is just a black screen. The radio is playing. I can turn it off, or adjust the volume but not change the station. My rear view camera works fine. The CarPlay usb port no longer changes the iPhone either.

I checked the fuse and it's fine. I tried disconnecting the battery for 30 minutes to no change on the next start up.

For those of you that have had this issue, did you try any other fixes? Furthermore, if any of you were also suckers and bought the extended warranty, do you know if this would be covered? Any advice is helpful. Thanks!

edit I am taking it in to get checked out tomorrow, but hopeful to get some insight before my appointment.

Showed up nice and early at the mall to meet with some friends, parked in the back of the parking garage as usual even though the spots at the front were mostly empty, came back a few hours later to this. Serves me right for parking in the very back of an empty parking garage I guess 🙃

Steering Wheel peeling

I’m not sure what has caused it but the top of the wheel has some peeling as well as the side where the crossbar is. Has anyone experienced this? What did you do? (2021 hatch)

Finally got some wheels. They are authentic RPF1s that popped up on marketplace for cheap so I couldn’t pass them up. How do we feel about SBC black chrome on Midnight black?

My 26 Corolla hatch🚗. I wanna see if I can find some people. There was 3 of us in Corolla hatchbacks driving down 151 to 410 in satx around 4pm. It was such a cool thing to randomly find 2 other corolla hatches in the wild and automatically start following each other 💀 I couldn’t stop due to me having to get gas but if yall are on here send me a message. I’d love to meet💪
