Good (bagging) News.

[Prohibit]

So I just joined up with a local car & truck club called last night and they all have air bagged rides. Well, we got to talking about bagging the yaris and they said all I need to do is buy the parts which would come out to about $500 and they would install them for me.

This would just be front and back bags.

(I guess they said they can get the hook up on bags for really cheap.)

Does that sound right? :eyebulge:

[contraband831]

sweet! can't wait to see final results.

[jclo3313]

If it sounds to good...........:iono:

[tk-421]

Wow that's cheap! Please let us know about the parts you get... I might actually do the same thing.

[jclo3313]

Goin' low man! Stance, stance, stance!

[lilredrocket]

Speed bumps.... you can ride low untill you get to them raise up the car to clear them then lower it back down after you get over them

Because it's my car and I want it bagged.

I don't participate in YW "standards" for cars. Sorry.

I've always been a fan of bagged cars.

You could have just answered that you like form over function.

and for 500 bucks, I don't care who's doing it, I guarantee you pop a bag or get a leak within the first year.

[jclo3313]

This is one of the kits I was considering, but nowhere as low in price as you were talking about. There are quite a few benifiets to runnin' bags.
As to standards I'm not sure there is something as organized as a standard when it comes to personalization of ones car.

Thats a great kit as well.

I have the Air Runner kits for the Yaris, but they are $2500+.

I say for $500 you can do it five times over, especially if you have friends that can help you.

Because it's my car and I want it bagged.

YES

I wasn't trying to be a dick. I was just saying how I felt about it. Why would I answer how someone else wants me to anyway? :iono:

Thanks for your negative response. Just fuels me to want to do it more.

dont get me wrong prohibit, you are right it is your car, i just wanted to have your side of the story since i just find it not practical thats all. ;o)

For sure, I understand where you're coming from. I'm just saying I like it, so that's why i'm doing it. Practical is a word that's used very loosely. To some, buying ANYTHING for a Yaris isn't practical at all. :thumbsup:

But just to explain it better.. Because I want to be able to lay it out every time I go somewhere. I love to be low. :D


Maybe this will help with my reasoning.

[ryota]

rock on... so when they're done with yours you want to get them to come do mine too?

[Prohibit]

Haha, we'll see how they do with mine first.

This is one of the guys doing it.

[katchkillah]

that's crazy $500, hope it's a reliable kit. 5x times over, 5x times installing, 5x times wasted. but that's just me. keep us posted on how the kit goes. how are your friends kits? i'm really curious to know. and what kinds of hoses, brackets, etc.. do they use?

[Prohibit]

I'll post up all the information when I get it.

They haven't had any problems.

The club has been around since 1992 and the guys doing it have been in it for 15 years.

They all have features in magazines too. So that's a good sign right? =)

[lilredrocket]

I say do it. I hope you get it that low when you are at meets!!

[etheliters]

Please keep us posted!!

[katchkillah]

most definitely keep us posted.

[minired5stby]

I wanna step by step with pics, that would be cool. I trust Air Runner more but I gotta see a $500 job oh yeah.

[Speedjunkiejp]

I can definitely see $500 and still being quality. Sounds like these guys are well put together and could possibly have great sponsorships since they are consistently featured. I bought all of mine retail for my xb and spent right at $1100 for parts. Labor was free since I did it myself.

This is the route I plan on going with my yaris sedan but I need to take care of other things first :-)

[Tamago]

so they're putting air BAGS on the front of your yaris?

interesting
