Hi guys got some cosmetics, picture is my car atm all stock.
Need some opinions on the Hood Deflector anyone have it?
I am taking my car in Saturday to get some splash guy front/rear installed, bumper protector, and the hood deflector.
Plan on getting rear spoiler, chrome exhaust tip cover etc maybe the canadian tire one but anyways to the point and present.
Deflector look good on yaris yes/no?
Also I need some opinions
Will these fit the yaris and do you think they will look decent.

I like the first third and last ones the most though, I have steelies so want to have them covered.
Thanks for input guys. I appreciate it.
Edit:
Forgot my car here it is, also I'm pretty sure stock wheels are 15"

DUDE I liked the idea of the first one covering the whole wheel looks cool imo.
Second one looks cheap but I figured I'd give it a chance.

if you MUST run hubcaps, get the gunmetal/bronze looking guys from CT
i had a CT tip on my car after i bought it....make sure you buy the stainless tip...not chromed...
i thought it looked good...

Really they are spinners? Where does it say that I thought they were just a bowl like hubcap
and wow that is nice, why steel over chrome?

because you don't want a rusted fart can like i have, trust me, im still debating spraying it black. but as for my input, i would pick steelies over hubs anyday.

Was tinking of going steels aswell but the snow here will pop beauty rings off probably sucks ass.
And yeah back to the snow the whole tip thing makes sense being steel now lol any specific ones on ebay that would work? I am looking at tons of 4inch wide or something not sure if that would fit.

I spray paint my steelies every year or so. Takes care of the rust on the thing in the middle of the thing. ANd I think the Black steelies looks better than hubcaps.. Although I was thinking about painting my hubcaps just to see what it looks like... llol..
Steelies Unite!

Depends on your cars color I guess, I don't see steelies going well with my car. I love the idea of beauty rings but I'm scared they'll just fall off in the winter

Kevin, I currently have some mods lined up as well. So maybe we can bounce ideas off of each other?
Here is what I have planned so far.
1) 23mm rear sway bar (installed)
2) Micro Image Lowering Springs (ordered)
3) Neffy Wrap (ordered)
4) Spoiler for my HB Yaris. (ordered)
5) Beautification Trims (waiting to install)
My plan is to Neffy Wrap that spoiler, clear coat it a 4-5 times, wet sand, clear coat 1 more time, wet sand and then wax. Hopefully it'll look as good as it does in my head.
What ever is left from the Neffy roll, it's 3 feet by 55", I'll use to wrap my interiors.
I'm not going to install the beautication trims until my car is lowered. Just wouldn't look right on a stock height.
That should calm the urge to mod for a bit, but I just know that in a month or so, I'll be installing the NST pulley set, a CAI or a short ram, and new Shock struts! :cry:

I choose the 1st ones. Don't really care for the others. There's a Yarisworld member with those full wheel covers on his HB, and he's posted pics somewhere on the forum and they look great! Trim rings and center caps look outstanding as well.
EDIT: Here you go...

Thanks Kimona, yeah the full plate hubs look freaking great. Will the ones in the first link fit my car is the question now.
Beautification trims? What do you mean, car body lines or wheels etc. Sounds cool either way.
Spoiler REALLY helps the look on Hatchbacks/Liftbacks, all depends which spoiler you went for in my opinion. So that's a good cosmetic it gives it a nicer sporty look instead of hey thats a cute car.
and honestly, the only reason I didn't get a hatchback was because it looks BADASS lowered, but here were I live it's impossible to lower a car without damaging it within a day, so I support the whole lowering it with the spoiler combo your car should look great man, got any pictures?

I lowered my Yaris today! I installed the Micro Image springs and the beautification rings as well.
All I can say is that without Yaris World I would have spent $300-400 to get someone else to installed. The only tool that I had to purchase was the spring compressor and it was only $30, beats paying $300-400! Thanks Chris07LB for that excellent guide for spring replacement. Yes, wear gloves or else!!
Tire trims went on easy and the center "cap" are made from a muffin tray. Yes, muffin tray. Yep. :laugh:

I just cut the cups off the tray. I used a Dremel, but I guess a hack saw would work just as well. To install I used some 3M exterior mounting double sided tape. :thumbsup:

Nice. Those trim rings make all the difference.

kevin, she's really into that book huh?
Yeah she is, you would be amazed she can read 200 pages of a big book in like 5 hours its crazy.
Also everyone Ive added some more things to the car but I am limited to what I can post here due to being on my dads computer.
Though if you wanna be friends with a Yaris enthusiast I also have facebook and post pictures of my KMS and every addon atleast every two weeks.

10-06-2010, 01:12 AM
I will take more photos tmr, took off the hubs, just disliking it because not all my steelies are the same shade of black even though I got them new, was thinkin of poppin the hubs back on or getting them custom painted hubs are prob cheap ass to get painted

I think I would like to have a sedan to work with. Looks good, Kevin.

I like them ALOT more than the hatchbacks, there was a 4 door here for sale aswell decided to get a sedan I ended up getting it fresh with 12 kms alot more funner to work with than a hatch.
My dad also has an echo 2005 sedan figured Id follow in his footsteps.
chrisj
10-06-2010, 01:25 AM
^ I see tons of stock sedans where I live, and very very few liftbacks. Every time I see one I am thinking of how it could be made to look sweet. Of course none of them around here are. :)
.Kevin.
10-06-2010, 02:15 AM
Here there are probably an equal amount, I seen one or two fixed up liftbacksk, but as far as I know I am the only one with a decent atleast looking sedan, though my town has like what 80,000 people in it and I believe thats including the small surrounding towns lol

ehhhhhh when it comes to my hubcaps i just spray painted them flat black and called it a day :thumbup:
.Kevin.
10-06-2010, 03:52 AM
Eh last hubs I sprayed got messed up so I figured if I pay someone to do it may aswell make them look cool.
if you MUST run hubcaps, get the gunmetal/bronze looking guys from CT
i had a CT tip on my car after i bought it....make sure you buy the stainless tip...not chromed...
