Hi Guys,

Been busy over the weekend, fitted my new armrest and dash LEDs and got my carbon bits back

Order some neo wedge bulbs, 2 fit but the others needed smaller holders so I stripped the original bulb

Very nice, man! I really like that hidden drawer for the iPod! Any plans to change the speedo gauge to blue?

Thanks, yeah I'm going to change them as soon as I find where in the UK I can order the LEDs from.

Is there any established place that will do it, perhaps with published pricing or a location to go to?

Where'd you get the armrest from? It looks wider than the ones I've seen.

looks cool! I'm just wondering, isn't it hard to pull the hand brake with that armrest? it looks like it's on top.

Even though I'm not a big fan of the CF look, that does look nice.

I am more interested in some other things I see, namely that center cup holder (in front of the shifter). Is is part of the console or does it come out? That would be something I'd like to get; I don't like the position of the stock cup holders in front of the vents.

Also, you have chrome door handles, & different round vents with what looks like a ring of chrome around it, which look great.

Also, I wonder if U.S. Yarii come pre-wired for the electronic HVAC controls? That would be cool, just swap out the manual controls for those!

Thanks for the nice comments guys :biggrin:

Its amazing the differences between UK and US models. no cruise control option over here which is crap

looks cool! I'm just wondering, isn't it hard to pull the hand brake with that armrest? it looks like it's on top.

Not really you just have to reach around which you will get used to after a while

The cup holder is standard and the cup does come out its an ashtray

the chrome handles and vent surrounds are standard on the yaris SR in the UK and sure you can get the vent surrounds off eBay

Whats HVAC Controls? if you mean the climate control then you only get them in the UK on a SR Model so i doubt there pre wired in the US

I just seen that lol.....I'd take that 2. Oh btw what's the lil dial for in front of your e-brake?

The dial is a JL Audio Bass controller

Thanks! I'll start looking around on Ebay and such.

BTW, HVAC = Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning

Hey assuming I wanted to buy a roll of carbon fiber vinyl... how would I make it curve to the shape of the door cover where it bends?
