Pics of the whip@ Kragen on Geary blvd. SF ,Ca

[blacksandiegovitz]

Hey All,
Just found these pictures I took of my car after the 8 hour drive up from San Diego to San Fransico . I needed some cleaning products so I stoped at the kragen on geary blvd , and found out they had a sweet 2nd level parking area that was perfect for detailing the filthy car after the long drive . Enjoy.

you need your coilovers ASAP. Does that monkey NEED to be there? And this no tint is simply killing me. However, since you're going for the show car look, I guess it's appropriate.

[YAR1S]

beautiful.

front license plate = bent?

SO SHINY and NICE

1.Coilover are the absolute next modd on the car for sure !
2. I'm not a tint guy , don't like the look of it on my cars and no "jdm" style car ever has tinted windows
3. Fuck Yes evil evil monkey NEEDs to be there , he holds shit down bro Lol .

I'm doing coilovers first cause with the car dropped another 1.5"-2" the rims I have now will look a lot better . I still want to powder coat them gold and get racinghart center caps so they'll look just like the racinghart gt5's they are, not just the super common "trd" dealer upgrade rims .Extended kics lug nuts too, then rear disc brake conversion/front big brake upgrade both from Microimage.

I can't help but to say it every time you post a picture... mmm... hhmmmm... you need to just paint everything one f'n color of black or go two-tone or something! The carbon and the flat black plastics and the shiny black paint clash for me.

Having said that, that is the only damn complaint I can come up with. The rest of it is stunning! The monkey is killer, too. Ignore the hype. :laugh:

[Thej3sta2]

oh shit yeah evil monkey point fear into trespassers hearts, plus the females like it.

[blacksandiegovitz]

front license plate = bent?


Yeah , bent to shit Lol ! I stopped at a rest area on the way up and drove over a 2" curb and it bent it. Luckly I had taped thick cardboard on the back of the plate so it didn't scratch the paint on the bumper .
Front License plates are my most hated thing on a custom car EVER! It was only on for the drive so pOpO didn't have a reason to pull me over , I haven't put it back on yet(and really don't want too )

[jinxor]

why dont you pull it out and paste it on the side of the bumper under the headlights...

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Nice. I'm surprised you didn't bluetape off the front of the car with that long of a drive.

:laughabove: :laughabove: :laughabove:

that sounded funny... but hells yeah, only teh Yaris can pull off teh evil monkey

[blacksandiegovitz]

I thought about it , but its only stock paint so no blue tape .
I wish I would of taken pictures of Paul's berrywine evo (shown in the wek-fest pics with the Hybrid banner) with the whole front "blue taped" for his drive back to La .

[blacksandiegovitz]

After really looking at the pictures I see what everyone means with the Matt black vs. the blacksandperal paint , but the only thing i've painted matt was the grille cause everyone hated the chrome... All the rest of the matt black parts are factory and all are parts that shouldn't be painted (ie. plastic/rubber trim pieces) . As for painting the Cf hood/hatch/wing thats not gonna happen untill I do a full kit/custom paint . Everybody needs to chill , I've only had the car for 4 months now and I'm broke as fuck ! If I was some bitch ass trust fund baby this shit would fully done by now , not the case , I bust my ass for small money and every free cent has gone into this car and thats cool , Its just that I can't buy everything at once so just btfuom please...

I feel the off color parts are ok if it's real and functional CF which his car is... but you're right there's tooo much going on. Personally I'd remove all the decals, they look cheap next to all the expensive mods like Recaros, 18" TRDs, cf, exhaust.

Instead of checking out the hardware all I see are decals everywhere. They're stealing the thunder.

And I know I'll get flamed but unless you work for, or sponsored by Micro Image, there's no reason to have their web addy and logo run across your whole windshield.

lol, you might need to chill bro. We still think your car looks nice. (Except for the S body kit. :laugh: )

Just remember to buy stuff and put it on as a finished product instead of just slapping it on. :thumbsup:

How about changing the Team Hybrid decal to the same gold color as the MI decals?

The way they're installed in my car is with Wedge engineering bracket , then the recaro sliders bolted to the floor bracket , and then the recaro side mount brackets are bolted to the slider.
My seatbelt sensors are on cause I'm using Takata harness's , but with stock seatbelts the light shouldn't go on . As for the airbag lights they will both be on .

[blacksandiegovitz]

I hate myself too:laugh: . I need to get them powder coated gold and get racinghart center caps for them so they will no longer look like off the shelf "trd" rims but like custom gold racinghart gt5's .

[SilverBack]

Why not just make them black to match the paint? That way you get a stealth black look overall. Or if you don't want it all black, maybe you can also powdercoat the lips and the groove on each spoke gold:thumbsup:

BTW, what kinda gas mileage you getting with those?

[Crandall]

I think the JDM grill painted body color would be a nice upgrade. Other then that I dig your car, props.

[PETERPOOP]

lol. he can't win with us.

[yaris-me]

Great looking Yaris.:thumbsup:

[blacksandiegovitz]

BTW, what kinda gas mileage you getting with those?

At least -3 mpgs :cry: but the look of an 18" rim on the yaris + handling gained with wider,stiff walled tires is worth the loss in mpgs imo .

[blacksandiegovitz]

lol. he can't win with us.

I guess not brah :laugh:
