Got my babies powder coated!!!

[marlondog]

I got tired of having mustard gold wheels, so I decided to get them powder coated flat black. Some guy on craigslist offered his services for a lot lower than most shops. I took a chance and glad I did. If any of u are interested, give chris a call at:562-810-2078

Damn, that looked sharp in mustard gold, and it looks good in black too!

Nice choice.

[vten]

Are those advans wheels ?

[marlondog]

I liked them gold too, but wanted them black. They're Yokohama Advan Kreuzers xii wheels.

[33OH]

Very nice! The finish turned out great.

That's a satin or "solar black", not flat, just to be clear.

Looks great! I need to hit Chris up if he's reasonable!

How do you know, guru garm? LOL. I thought it was more satin than flat. He definitely did a good job, and gave me an offer I couldn't refuse. You will not regret it, guru garm.

Looks good bro :thumbup: I'm considering powdercoating mine too, if I keep them :thumbsup:!

Nice, but I think I perfer the gold as it works well with your graphics.

Peel the gold off now and go stealth.

That was what I wanted to do, but I have grown fond of the vinyl graphics. I'm just gonna paint the brake calipers gold, and add some gold refllective tape to the inside of the wheel. If that doesn't work, I will just leave the gold lug nuts on.

I gotta be honest man...I liked the gold better.

But it doesn't look that bad. :smile:

Youre right that looks a lot better but I would get rid of that big gold banner now too.

Gold was better, and that's the truth. Black isn't as flashy, and a lot easier to keep clean. I will eventually get a set of gold rims, so I'm holding on to the gold banner for now.

[marlondog]

I could always paint the banner flat black too.:wink:

[1.5]

doooo eeeeetttt

[marlondog]

Took off the banner, and dropped it an inch more. I think I'm gonna bring it back up a little. I regret taking the banner off, but it is what it is.

Not quite, but I understood what the other members were talking about. It didn't go well with the black car/black wheels. I started out murdered, and I guess I will finish up murdered out.

Looks great IMO - very nice marlon!

[marlondog]

Thanks Ryan! U and I have probably put on more wheels than anyone else with a Yaris.

[BEEF]

I will say that I prefer a black car. love the incognito look.

[kimona]

Love the wheels and liked the gold theme. Just don't understand the fascination with black wheels.

[cali yaris]

I would redo the banner in another color anyway, either red to match the tails or yellow to match the calipers. Or another color. lol.

Once you go black, you never go back!!! LOL. I was really digging my set up(gold wheels,gold banner,light bronze tint) until I had a couple of my wheels stolen. I figured that I would not have to worry about my car if the wheels are black(Who the hell steals black wheels?). If I never had my wheels stolen, I might of got a gold toof or two to match my car.:thumbsup:

I'm digging the style of the Arbarth 500 banner. It has that fade efect to it.

[marlondog]

Red would definitely rock. Then I can change my screen name to 'Blood Yaris'.
:laugh:

[cali yaris]

Dark-ish red, not bright-ish. :wink:

[Spidermandud]

some people call it a yaris I call it a spaceship mmm-hmm.

red would look real good mm-hmm.

[marlondog]

I reckon it would, and what not. Drive around in my spaceship, and eat French-Fried Pataters. LOL

[Spidermandud]

You're funny.

Funny haha not funny queer.

[why?]

crimson, the color of dried blood. Would look awesome.

[marlondog]

After dropping her a little, I think Yarisa is happy with her shoes...

[1.5]

very clean man I think it's the best Yarisa has ever looked.

[MadMax]

Where'd you get the Toyota stripe across the bottom?

A guy who owned a yaris one time made them for me.
