Aloha, all. I posted before and have the '07 all electric Yaris and wanting to find some unusual and not-so-unusual body mods and advice. (OK before you poo-poo electric, this Yaris is loaded with Hi-Performance electrics, does 0-60 in under 6 sec, will go 100+mph and has a ~100 mile range. Here is what I am looking for

1: Ideas on where to mount a 8" touch screen, any after market mounts, or remove CD-radio etc. Any suggestions/kits to remove the front glove box and made an instrument panel there?

2: Looking to convert the little side front window to opening vents

3: Any after market scoops to bring in more vent fresh air in the vent between the hood and windshield?

4: I cannot find a nice rear "non-spoiler" --- one that extends the roof line back and down and is not used to create any downward force on the rear since it is not a rear-wheel drive

5: Any other suggestions?

One clarification. Spoiler on the rear of the Yaris doesn't create any downforce. The huge wing I had on there did, but only above 100 mph.

Your mods sound intriguing, and I think some of them have never been done before. Glad to see you posting, when I retire mine I'm thinking of doing a conversion also.

Why not block off the front grills for better aerodynamics? Or do you need the air to cool the electrics?
