Door Handle Scratchpads

[redyaris]

1. Keeps the ladies fingernails from slicing up the ride.

2. Looks so deluxe cool.

Mission Accomplished.

Sorry you don't share the same high quality tastes as I but I got over your kind here long ago. Have a fantastic day.

As for the dental work, that's a private health matter covered by The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).

Did I notice the windshield washers chromed as well?

[DFA]

I have to be honest and say that I'm not a huge fan of bling on cars, much less a red one. But to each his own I guess.

That said, I think it's a great idea, my passenger side door handle has been scratched to hell by my gf's nails. Love the matching interior.

You sure did KCALB. They are white LED for added nighttime bling. :drool:

Maybe they are available in depressing black or fake carbon fiber or something, i dunno. Or...you could cut some clear hood protectant and lay in in there for the nude look.:rolleyes:

[Shroomster]

they can be called scratch pads all they want but won't they get scratched and scuffed too? I mean to say the chrome is just painted on the pad thing itself right?

I think it looks good and goes with your theme...it's not for everyone but it works...

second question


I never realized the washer nozzles were removable from the cowl...thought they were one piece...are they easy to remove redyaris?


third question

WHY THE HELL DO I NOT SEE YOU DRIVING AROUND?

you're in Orlando right?

[Chupacabra]

Yo man....dat skizzy be exuding mad class and high quality yo! Plastic chromies fo mah cronie's!

[m911gt]

on a side note, nice mirrors. i've never seen them before.

You haven't seen them before because nobody else would rock those things even if you gave em' to them for free.

[lita_g]

It's not my style, but it doesn't look too bad. My question is though, what kind of nails do these women have that they're scratching the car??? Is anyone dating wolverine or what? :eek: I keep my nails long and have never had problems with scratches on any car door handles.

[Chupacabra]

Just to let you know...they make clear film you can put under to negate fingernail scratches.

[ROCKLAND TOYOTA]

adds more BLING as you call it and is functional on top of that. nice mod.....

I think the pieces are chrome dipped or plated, I didnt cut into it or anything. You'd have to dig pretty deep into it with cat claws intentionally to make a dent. And if they do get scratched, its an easy replacement instead of a repaint job.

Thanks for your respectful comment but i'm not worried about everyone else, just me.

Yes, you have to remove the black windshield trim piece to get to them. Each is held on by a nut.


third question

WHY THE HELL DO I NOT SEE YOU DRIVING AROUND?

you're in Orlando right?

I work virtual at home so I don't commute to work at all. You'll see me on the 408, the 417, Colonial, UCF area, Universal, Old Town & I Drive occasionally. Keep your eyes peeled for a red flash sometime and if you see me by all means flag me down for a chat.:drinking:

[tuckevalastin]

Everything on the car is matching, but you need to spray chrome the bottom grille and get some bigger and chromier wheels.

[KCALB SIRAY]

I was thinking the same on the lower grill. The spray out of a can chrome sucks, but they have vinyl now that really has a better chrome match.

Then you've never had a car long term then, have a look at the average car under the handle for the scratch marks. I hit mine all the time without trying and I don't have long fingernails. I'm trying to remove the problem before it gets worse. Besides it just gives me another excuse to add more luscious chrome and piss more people off here. :thumbup:

Thanks Rockland. I appreciate it. Just another worthless mod you know...:laugh:

[redyaris]

I agree. The bottom grille thingy, the foglight trim, and the wheels are becoming more and more of an issue. I am strongly considering selling the Konig Reasons and upgrading to full chrome wheels for maximum shine purposes. Only there is not much to choose from in the 15 inch range where I want to stay.

Im also getting with a supplier to chrome out the boring black window trim pieces near the A pillar. I dont want to chrome out the B pillars (which are available) without this done first...

And then theres the windshield trim and wipers to worry about as well as the tailgate lock trim. My job is never done. Sheesh.

I guess I'm just more careful about not scratching my car. But if you have had that problem before, then kudos on the mod :thumbsup: I don't think it looks that flashy, but I guess chrome doesn't look so flashy in pics anyway.

I see high school is out today...i've got 15 saved PMs from YW members inquiring about where i got them that say different and I have refused more than a few offers to sell them so others could 'rock' them too.

Please only use your powers for good Chupacabra. :evil:

Yep, I'm number, what, 10 or so, lol. Keep on:thumbup:

[Shroomster]

I'm gonna put my comment in here about your feeler thread for your rims....


seeing as how you're trying to stay in a 15" wheel the wife has MB Motoring ( I dunno if it's a discount tire brand or what-not) but they have some nice chrome wheels and polished alloys as wellhttp://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c331/Skrombus1/YARIS/DSC00866.jpg <<<for example on her car we have 15" mB 747

[mikenacarato]

my volvo had chrome trim on it and looked good, but that was factory. im sorry man there are only a handfull of cars that can pull of the chrome thing...yaris is a no go. but thats my opinion.

[kimona]

Always enjoy looking at your car. What's next? I hear new wheels may be around the corner...?

I like it. Classy wheel but im going for even more shine power.:thumbsup:

You know me kimona, causing trouble, receiving insults and taking names.

I have a hankering for some new wheels yes I do among a 100 other things...:smile:

[KCALB SIRAY]

This is kind of going with the post a few above, but have you thought about dipping your current wheels to save a little cheese?

[redyaris]

Hmmm worth considering. What kinda cheese would that run me? and who does such a thing?

I've had trim for our Chevelle done from a place called Chrome Plus in Lakeland, Florida. That was a few years agao though. Not sure if they are still around or even near you

[redyaris]

Chrome Plus? Sounds like a theme park for flashy folks.

And its in Lakeland, just a stones throw away from me? Manna from heaven, thanks for the info KCALB!

I'm getting a quote for dipping the entire car.

They have chrome Vinyl now, so you could always go that route. It would be way cheaper

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Goes well with your theme.

[eTiMaGo]

Oooook someone really needs a timeout there...

[Thej3sta2]

why dont you just get a chrome paint job man that would be sick

[ROCKLAND TOYOTA]

I once had a station wagon winter beater that we spray painted with chrome spray paint.it wasn't shiny or anything just made the car look silver and ghetto looking....

[redyaris]

red yaris , im suing you for my loss of vision !! my eyes my precious eyes. now like i told you before if you like it then everyone should just zip it and let you be. but one thing i must say i think the car would look even pimpier (is that even a word) if the chrome pieces were like brushed aluminum, just my two cents.

ps. im not really suing you

Yet another victim of temporary blindness. Ill call my lawyer...:rolleyes:

PK thanks but brushed aluminum (which I do like) absorbs light and i'm all about reflecting and dazzling.:thumbsup:

[YarisSedan]

I saw those on ebay awile ago. I think the sedan version would look nice on like a white car. Or maybe even a black car. Black with chrome handles and maybe chrome wheels. But on red it dosnt fit. For red the colors i would go with are red and black. If you spray painted the scratch handles black and got black rims and took off the chrome nozzles and painted your fog light bezels the factory black color. Your car would look very clean. Me im not into the bling bling look. But to each their own. Some people are not into modding cars at all. When i changed my hubcaps some of my friends said it looked better with the factory hubcaps and then some people say it looks way better now.

[redyaris]

Nah, red and black is terribly boring and I would look like every other Yaris out there.

I think blacking out a car is not very challenging.

Black wheels you say? Ugh.

[smofskra]

IMO, chrome is a waste of money and it looks horrible. If you like chrome, then more power to you. Personally, i would paint them a different color, but thats just me.
