A bit too white for my liking. Why did you leave the black triangles in front of the mirrors?

^ you mean that it wasn't a white car to begin with?
I thought the work done was basically to monochrome her. Door pillars, grills, etc.

That's up to you. If the car was black to begin with you can get away with a black engine bay, etc if it's done correctly. I was just wondering, I dont know what your car looked like before.

I kind of dig it. You should go the rest of the way and paint the emblems and badges white as well (or at least the front and debadge the rear).

@CTScott Thanks and i'll see what i do concerning the badges not a bad idea

Nice. But like someone said that black part in front the mirror

Is the silver in the keyholes of the doorhandles painted white as well? Geez.
I'm all for monochrome as much as the next guy, but some angles look like somebody said "Ok, take a deep breath and just go nuts with the paint gun!" Mirrors at the very least would've stayed black if it were my car, but as long as you like it...

I think you need something a different color for contrast. Choose a color you like and do the grills, door handles and wheels. Blue, Red or what ever you like, but it's your car/money do what ever you like.

The headlight and tail lights need some cleaning/brightening up they have sun haze on 'em.
have him "dot the i" in the Yaris emblem lol not that you would see it.... inside of front toyota emblem should be white and the cowl under the windshield as well as the arms for the wipers....

@Shroomster Thanks i'll think about it

Too white for my liking as well, but definitely deserves recognition for uniqueness.
I'd left the area in the middle of the side windows, the mirrors and their surrounds black. Would have made a nice all-black window area. The front looks good, except for the grilles- would have painted them black for contrast. A custom front grille would look great on it (sth like this (http://www.flickr.com/photos/trrk/4076365165/)). Also would have cleaned the bootlid of all badges.

^ +1. I know he's asking for feedback, but he already did some painting, so I'll post what would finish her off.
The all-white is cool, but now it needs a little pop here and there.
You need the coolest wheels ever made (whatever that means to you, but something badass and hard to get).
Add:
side/rear window visors
custom tails (series5 or hella design)
projector headlight conversion
burnt tip HK1 exhaust
I would do a carbon fiber hood, but paint most of it white to match, just revealing some of the CF - that is a sweet look IMO.

Ahhh white carbon fiber would be super nice!!! Subtle yet tastefully offsetting.:thumbup:
How about this?

@cali yaris
I was going to buy the window visor and the rear visor also
And for the custom tails i was more thinking the series 5
For the projector headlight , burnt tip and carbon fiber hood i'll think about those when i get more money but thanks for the comments

x2 & i love white cars...but whiting all that stuff disrupts the balance of the lines on the car IMHO

I think if you get a pulled back photo up here to show everyone the entire car, it will show off what you have done a little better. I personally like what you have done with it.
