GI: Mesh A/C Vents

[Slick]

Custom Lftback and I got the inspiration from Cali Yaris' mesh vents and decided to make our own. We would be willing to make them for anyone wanting to do this modification. All you would have to do is remove radio/vent trim, separate black vent housing from trim, remove horizontal tri-vent slats, and place the mesh vent screens in place. Put everything back together and voila! Ultra cool-race inspired A/C vents :thumbup: No cutting or gluing required. Super quick install and amazing results. Works with all year Liftbacks. Sedan application pending.

Here are a couple of pictures of the finished product installed.

If we can get 10 members devoted then we can start production and have them shipping out by mid-April. The price will be cheap, plus shipping, to anywhere in the US.

If the demand is high enough we will consider offering various colors, other than the current shiny black.

Thank you for your time and please feel free to comment.

Wow that looks frikin sick, i so want one! Like now!!

[H3LlIoN]

Haha your dash looks like a cartoon frog or something, with the vents being eyes, and the radio bezel it's mouth.

[RedRide]

Since you asked....
I'm not interested because (as I understand it) you have to remove the horizontal slats the driect air flow up and down.

Nice!

[cali yaris]

Thanks for giving credit you guys, very honorable thing to do.

I never adjusted the slats anyway, and I haven't ever noticed them missing since I did the mesh in mine.

Kinda reminds me of a PO'd Bowser. hehehehe. :evil:

[sqcomp]

You know...I might do that...

Are you taking orders for the sedan yet? I'm down with gloss black. I've got to make that entire section black anyway to match the tuner going in. It may be some of Cali's Neffy wrap...we're just not sure until we actually get to that point.

[msfire671]

ill take one too...for a sedan!

FWIW
I never adjust the slats either.
That is, after I made my initial adjustments to direct air flow where I want it.

I must admitt that the screens do look nice however. :smile:

If we can get 10 members devoted then we can start production and have them shipping out by mid-April. The price will be $20 for the pair, plus shipping, to anywhere in the US.

If the demand is high enough we will consider offering various colors, other than the current shiny black.

Thank you for your time and please feel free to comment.

I have the same stereo as the person in that first picture!!! That's so cool! hahaha


I also want them - for the sedan!

[YarisSedan]

This should be able to fit the sedan i think i dont see why the opening would be different

[eTiMaGo]

do I get a free set for having my car as your head unit's wallpaper? :D

[JumpmanYaris]

Lol I seen ur car in other websites to
I think you should collect from them to lol

[Slick]

It seems like there is a higher interest for the sedan application. We are working on getting the sedan radio trim and vents to test the compatibility. If we can get a few more members interested we will push ahead with the mock-ups. Again, thank you all for your comments and keep them coming.

[cruz-gsr]

when are the liftbacks going to be ready

[custom Lftback]

Once we get at least 10 people who want it then we will start making them. we only need 2 more so c'mon yarisworld!! Lol. They should be done by mid April.

[RacerFreakXXX]

now just 1 more

[Fury85]

+1 to interest for sedan

[Slick]

Well, with the combined interest of both the liftback and sedan owners, I believe we have enough interest to get started. As stated before, we need to obtain the sedan radio trim piece and A/C vent piece to start the sedan mock up. If anyone has either of these pieces available, and wouldn't mind parting with it, that would greatly speed up the process. Aside from that, Custom and I will get the ball rolling. I believe the pieces will be availabe for sale by mid April for the liftback and a little later for the sedan. Thanks for all the comments and keep them coming.

[Wowzers78]

You can put me down for a Liftback set as well!

[08yarisblue]

The vents definetly add character.

[*MAD DOG*]

It looks good but takes away the functionality of the slats. Not interested in buying.

[bobselectric]

Like the look- I'm in for the liftback

[fiia]

im interested! (sedan)
also, are you guys at any time gonna come up w/ different colored radio trims like the first picture? and or where are they available??
nifty indeed.

[lilredrocket]

^They painted it like that...

they're available in the spray paint aisle of your local home depot

:laughabove: :bellyroll: :respekt: :smoking: :drinking:

[Slick]

@fiia- Custom Lftback painted that himself. There is loads of info on painting the radio trim here on YW. It's not very difficult, good luck with your search.

Thanks again for everyone's comments.

[Jerkratt]

did i miss a price? im in but i would like ot know a rough estimate of price

[custom Lftback]

$20 plus shipping. So prolly around $22ish

[Qilene15]

I would most definitely be interested in this, if you could make one for the sedan.

[custom Lftback]

We are gonna order a sedan trim piece to make sure that everything fits right. We are scheduled to start working on em this following weekend. REMEMBER: if you are seriously interested in the vents, make sure you vote in the poll. Cuz we will PM those who voted in the poll when they are close to being shipped out.
Thanks guys!!!! :thumbup:

[lilredrocket]

Guys instead of ordering one why don't you get the one localish sedan to you and check them that way? Maybe for a discounted price? I haven't seen JayTee09 on in a while so not sure how hard it would be to get a hold of him.

[tk-421]

Are you still planning on offering different paint colors in the (near) future? I may actually be willing to wait a little longer for a matte black or gunmetal finish.

I think the ideal finish would be as close to the OEM dark matte gray as possible. .02

[custom Lftback]

^ I think eventually we will if the interest keeps up. But
for now we are just sticking to the black.

[Kimmy]

Will u guys have them available when i go up to the houston meet?? :thumbup:

[lilredrocket]

I'm sure he will give you a special deal... *wink wink.... hmmm. hmmm

[cruz-gsr]

[kac]

It's mid-April. I want some for my liftback please and thanks!

[custom Lftback]

We are trying guys we promise. We hav been a little busy these past couple of weeks and have had trouble finding time to get together and work on em. We are gonna get em done soon. We will update y'all as soon as we get em done. Thank you for your patience.

[TickleTimeTim]

Looks good and all but does suck you can't aim them. One question though, what about the outside vents by the windows? Replace them too?

+1 on the matte black...the gloss would be too flashy and would not match the outer vents. I am in on sedan matte when/if you do them.

[etheliters]

I've seen them in person. Very nice product, oem fit, no gaps. Awsome to see the shadows of the slats in there. Reminds everyone those holes do emit cool air too. Expect to see my painted set soon. Can't beat the price on these sweet covers...I'm in 2 days ago.

[fnkngrv]

bump on status?

[Mistry]

Updates?

[kac]

Mid April? Haha I'm waiting patiently.

[advocate]

can't see the pictures on the first page

[custom Lftback]

Unfortunately neither Slick or I have the time or resources available to dedicate 100% to this project. When we do it, we want to do it right and not rush it. We are very sorry that we have not gotten these done and we will let you know when the project is back up and running. Please don't be mad lol :redface:

[Kimmy]

aww man *grabs pitch forks* lmao j/k just keep us informed when you are up and running again! (=
