ok guys.... after much debating on what this little Yarii is going to do with itself as far as a color scheme or even a theme.... since im already silver and black is easy to get things in i think id like to make a "Elanor Edition" yaris based on the one car ive consistantly wanted my entire life.... the real question comes to how will it be carried out.... first off id love to have a similar cover on the rear side windows.... probibly silver reflective tint.... im just wondering where i would even begin to getting this back peace fabricated. All in all give me ideas for ext mods and what tint options/rims. Comon guys i would love a TON of input on this since its the only combo that hasnt been beaten to death lately.... (stormtroopering and murdering has gotten old).:help:

It hasn't been "beat to death" because it's a dumb idea;)

not really.... a classic black on silver with a taste muscle roots.... reborn in an import in ways.... but meh i guess everything good wouldnt be good without haters. its been a while since ive seen something FRESH come out with concern on theming. and if i can get my yarii even a tenth of the beauty of the Eleanor then im lucky. im not saying lets slap on badges with a different company... im asking if anyone would like to help with a concept thats different and id like to see if anyone could show mockups of pieces that would compliment this

I am not overly familar with the Eleanor theme, but aren't you basically looking to do this?

stormtroopering

Just curious, have some examples of this?

its basically white and black... this and murdering out cars is played but what i want to do is almost pay tribute to the elanor style.... black on silver and again i was thinking of using a cover over the rear side windows like on the elanore

Not so sure on everything else, but I thought of side window louvers immediately and I think they would look awesome if done right.

Probably would make the car look a lot older in age too, heh.

yah i have no clue where i would go get that done though lol but im thinking about it seriously....

Gideon

03-24-2010, 06:47 PM

Yeah, that would require a decent amount of fabrication, but at least the fogs should be easy! Cut out two holes on the bottom grill and mount 'em. Even if you did that + black stripes I think it'd look nice. (I'm not so sure about a billet grill treatment as well, but that would help with the look if done right I would think.)

That would be one tall looking Lambo!

Eleanor is a Mustang only look.

I'm baffled at the number of you who aren't familiar with Eleanor or her theme...

if anyone has some good photoshop skills and would like to help put together a mock up of some louvers or a mild scoop on the side rear windows so we can get an idea of the look.

JBougie

03-27-2010, 10:12 AM

I think it's a cute idea .... I like it!! I can't help you find any of the stuff - but I think it would be a cool layout! Sure it is traditionally reserved for the Mustang, but that is whats so great about car modification - you can do whatever you want to after you buy it.

Good luck, and post pictures of your progress!! :)

Question: Could you buy an Eleanor kit and cut it/modify it to fit? If you know of anyone who can work with fiberglass, it may be possible .... http://www.duraflexbodykits.com/0509-ford-mustang-duraflex-eleanor-complete-body-kit-p-81972.html

i just looked on this website, under toyota yaris it says parts fro yaris 06-2010.... i thought 09+ was completly different from 06-08......

MadMax

03-28-2010, 07:43 PM

Not "completely different," just some subtle cosmetic changes that may or may not be a factor when considering body kits...

JBougie

03-28-2010, 08:01 PM

The link was to the mustang body kit .... then you could trim it/cut it/do whatever you needed to do to it and get an actual kit custom fitted for your Yaris. I don't know if it would be possible, but I'm sure if it can be done your local mod shop could do it.

The black ones are nice. The white ones make it look too much like a delivery "Yaris".

MadMax

03-30-2010, 09:32 PM

I think the white ones stand out better, but having a black Yaris I'd have no choice once you start selling these...:biggrin:

cali yaris

03-30-2010, 09:56 PM

I'll see if we can mock up a louvered version, more true to the Eleanor style.

zachryboles

lol true that im a texas boy and ive pulled my piece from my car. and GARM...... AMAZING DESIGN!!!! i might want to change to that design if you can make em in the silver of my vehicle i might buy a set seriously just like they are.

darthbauer

04-08-2010, 03:46 PM

No but the violent crime rate is a lot lower. And I'm willing to bet you know that, so your sarcastic comment pretty much ends the conversation, doesn't it?

Anyways...

Yeah lets keep it on topic so this doesn't get locked.

I'd be all about a set in CF if they won't kill my gas mileage.

cali yaris

04-08-2010, 04:56 PM

you know where to find me! :smile:

I'd still like to see a louvered design for a more authentic Eleanor look.

yaris2010RS

04-09-2010, 01:20 AM

as for the topic, i thought we were gonna go with a body kit? i am not a big fan of louvers.....(and i think i can buy genaric ones at part shops)

i'd be interested if we could get a front bumper and hood?? possibally fenders and side that gave it a true eleanor look (i like where the smart car front bumper was going)
