The Powder Puff

[powder puff]

Well I just bought my Yaris aka he powder puff. its a 2008 blazing blue pearl 3dr liftback/hatchback. So far its all stock, I plan on tinting the windows soon 25% fronts and 2.5% on all the back windows. I would like to get the hatch spoiler also. I am also planning on doing a cat back exhaust, not sure what i want yet, a cai kit, possibly also doing the throttle body swap also.

Wheel/tire specs?

[CTScott]

Maybe it is just the lighting in those pics, but it looks like you have Bayou Blue, not Blazing Blue. Blazing is 8T0 and Bayou is 8T1 (as shown on the VIN tag on the driver's door frame)

[WeeYari]

Definitely Bayou Blue. In all the various lighting coming into play in photos here, I've never seen Blaze Blue get that washed out.

Decent wheels. Too bad they are of a 'directional' design. Didn't know we shared 4x100 with Ford.

[nookandcrannycar]

Definitely Bayou Blue.

I posted a pic with the wheels on the car with specs, I guess it hasn't been approved yet. The are ford escort X2 wheels with 175/55/15, I need to get some tires that are closer to stock size though

[powder puff]

I was told blazing blue by the salesman who sold me the car, but I agree it's not as dark as blazing blue

[Exiwolfman]

Try posting ur pic from cell I find it work lot better and no resizing needed .

That looks good , with right size tires will be perfect ...different for sure in a good way.
I say run 195 55 or stock size 185 if ur not gone lower 205 50 look good too [emoji3] [emoji2] [emoji6]

[powder puff]

I'm thinking of going lower some but not too much

[powder puff]

ok, so i checked the vin plate on the drivers door, it is the 8t1 bayou blue, not blazing blue like the sales man told me

[nookandcrannycar]

...different for sure in a good way.

:thumbsup: I agree.

[phaznet]

Drop her to the ground!

[powder puff]

So, I did a little bit of stuff to my powder duff today. I painted the plastic valve cover thing with silver rustoleum hammered paint, debaged the rear hatch and washed the car.http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/09/04/30766e74934c9245ab6b5cd1341abace.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/09/04/8786d2be3043e8f3cfd665e88c1335df.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/09/04/f18796e167bd5a1cdcd677cbdab6d123.jpg

[nookandcrannycar]

:thumbsup: Looks great. I wish MY Bayou Blue 07 had the split rear seats and the integrated rear headrests :biggrin: . *sigh*

P.S. - I'd like to think Toyota listened to suggestions from 07 owners, and added these (and possibly other) features in time for your 08.

[Exiwolfman]

Looks really good ...good choice on tire size got same size [emoji12]
