I did my very first mod on my 2010 Yaris HB today. Let me know what you think!

Mine came with its wheels and tint, I think my first mod was either the rear wiper one (removing the tab so it comes away further from the glass) or the exhaust tip. I know I put my fog lights on about a month or two after getting it. The spoiler came a few months later, and the TYC tails soon after that. It's a great little car to "personalize"...
By the way, I have a "Life is Good" hat I keep in the Jeep for those sunny days when I have the top off (the Jeep's top, that is!).

LOL! I cant remember exactly what my first mod was, either the VVT-i badge on the rear (genuine) or the OEM mudguards. First and pretty much the only interior mod was the OBX pedals.

Since I got the 2007 LB base version, without a radio, the first mod was CD/MP3 player with AM/FM radio.

Hmmm... looks in his YarisWorld Garage...
First "unofficial" mod: removed front license plate bracket (and back dealership frame).
First "real deal" mod: front Netz badge, shortly followed by a rear debadge.

First: LED dome light panel and LED map lights (super white). So much better than the stock yellow bulbs.
Next: OEM 15" 7-spoke Wheels, headlight bulbs.

Picked it up from the dealer, drove it home, jacked it up and installed TRD lowering springs and shocks, TRD rear sway bar, TRD 18'' wheels and a TRD Cold Air Intake. :cool::cool::cool::cool:

front UR strut bar,front lower support bar,UR rear sway bar(23mm),UR rear lower support bar and UR rear upper strut bar. Now its stiff enough to taking turns. Drop in K&N intake removed the intake box tube and now the VVTI sounds louder than before.
Do not under estimate this little egg.

My first mod was installing my sirius radio properly after Circuit City screwed it up. Then I tinted.
Looks like Tinting is a common first mod. But "debadging"? Why all the hate for the Toyota badges? I'm not ashamed my car has a Toyota and a Yaris badge on it... Just wondering. :)

Sirius installation is plugged directly in stock radio or you have to install that player on the dash ?

Came with tint when I got it
shifter to a chrome basic one except it needs tightening already!
but today I got my stubby antenna so I fitted that (picture attached)
weekend will be debadging & cleaning - she's all dusty and dirty
I got it a month ago :)
I want that HD off ebay everyone's raving about, even though the AU$ is almost 1US$ I still can't afford it :(

The stations that were a bit staticky before, were more staticky after I changed the antenna, but the ones that were working fine before worked fine after as well. The main local stations whose signal was strong enough were not affected. My antenna was not that short though, but still it was about half the length of the OEM one.

Mine was the cruise control mod, rims, body kit it's on it's way, window tint( I'm thinking Mercedes blue), then fog lights or suspension, and I only have had the sedan for less than a month, any suggestions?

I havent noticed any change in reception...mine is really really really small too :) http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170445399525&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Because I put a cover over the car a lot and hate having to take the long OEM antenna on and off all the time.
Yesterday I gave her her first wash (no time to polish and only had motorbike polish - its not the same) and i also debadged and de-stickered her - what a sexy ass! And the car aint bad either (haw haw haw) lol
