That last photo was so cool! Very creative!

[wiirenet]

pretty pretty!!!

when will the rain let up around here so i can get mine waxed >.<

[devinlamothe]

Nice! I need to wash and wax mine so bad. It just snowed here so there is salt everywhere.

[YAR1S]

NOTE: 1 hour after the wash and detail... a big gust of wind picked up and blew about 10 lbs of bright yellow pollen ALL over my newly washed car ;[

ohhh well.

[LtNoogie]

Ooooh, nasty sunburn!

[yaris-me]

Nice!:smile:

[ChinoCharles]

Noice!

[evil genius]

Looks good. Too bad about the pollen.

[Ryu]

Looks Nice!!!! I also just waxed mine yesterday. :laugh:

Shinny Yaris FTW !!

[dallas]

Looks great, nice job on the beauty rings on the stock rims, it looks better than some alloy wheels. I guess the pollen sucks but you have captured it clean forever in the picture !

[YAR1S]

yeah terrible sunburn from a car show I went to, hehe :p

[YAR1S]

FYI: someone asked me for this.
figured I'd share... Its pretty simple to do.. but I know I like tutorials.... even for the simple things....


no problem at all! They are the stock steelies(take off hubcaps).... with trim rings (can be found at any autozone/advanced autos/O' Reileys for about $10-11 per wheel... keep in mind that you need 15" sized trim rings or whatever size rim you have if your not sure buy one try it out and if it doesnt work take it back and get the next size up!

Give your wheels a good ole scrub down before you put the trim rings on.... the key to this look is to keep your steelies as clean as possible. Once the rims and tires have been cleaned get youself some tire shine..... spray the tires AND a little bit on the rims... let the tires dry on their own but get a rag and smoothe out the oil on the rims so you dont get spots where the spray has dried.

Now put on your trim rings.... align the holes with the air stem ;]

As for the center of the wheels... you should already have chrome nuts... polish those suckers up....

and Personally I added "dust caps" from NAPA to the centers to clean up the look especially since the axle on the front wheels are visable.
The dust or "center" cap is from Napa's Balkamp catalog # 730-2411
they are only a dollar or two per cap.

When you get the caps they will be a little bit too large and will fly off... so you will need some 3m double-sided tape (home depot/lowes), one or two layers will do it... dont be shy with the stuff.... apply the tape on the inside of the cap... before putting the cap on... this will make it easier. Once the tape is on... press onto wheel... use a rubber mallet to get it all the way on there... (btw these are removeable but should stay on till you need them off... no need to take them off to clean your wheels.


annnd..... wa-lah!
your done.


wow that was a lot for something so simple :p
one of the best Mods I've done to my car and so much cheeper than rims! :p

[YarisFan007]

nice ride.

...and your Yaris isn't bad either ; )

[NJBob]

Where do you get the little hub/center covers? :confused: :smile:

[jdinrc]

Very nice! :w00t:

[HTM Yaris]

Love the trim ring and caps .

Now , go outside and take that greasy crap off your tires and tell your Yaris you are sorry for putting that stuff on . Tell your Yaris you did not know that if you have that greasy stuff on and you suddenly have to swerve (especially in the rain) that the chances of damaging that cute Yaris body will dramatically increase ......GO HUG YOUR POLLEN LADEN YARIS

:cool:

[nerp]

Your car is pretty and so are you.

[cali yaris]

looks great. I think Gideon did the trim ring/lug nut/center cap thing, what a great cheap mod to make your wheels look good.

:clap:

Jealous! Winter just won't end here. They forecast snow earlier this week, but it didn't happen. I gave mine a bath today and hoping for a nice warm day in the next week or so where I can do the spring wax job and engine detail.
