About to throw on my first (dealer) cosmetic mods to my Yaris... *finally* !!


Went in today to get some new wiper inserts for my front and back wipers after the storm yesterday, and was thinking of my trip coming up on the American long-weekend, so decided to set up an appointment to have them put on the back bumper protector (always liked that little touch to the exterior appearance).

Then decided to also throw on some other cheap additions as well. Upgrade my shifter to the sports leather one and add the sports pedals as well.

Feels good to *FINALLY* be personalizing my Yaris. :wink:

Oh, and the day before I get those added, takin' her in be tinted as well :biggrin: :cool:

Cant wait for that!

Just need to decide how dark I want the very back hatch window... it looks good tinted just as dark dark as the side back ones, I agree, but I've had two friends complain about having their back window so dark that its annoying when they are backing up in town in areas without much or good lighting at all. They cant honestly see anything unless theres good lighting on the street or in their driveway or around the parking spot they're in.

And I think I agree with them, may only get it as tinted as my front side windows.

Personally I dont care for that shift knob, It feels like some sort of lace thing in your hand.
