Whats up guys! Picked up a 2012 Yaris 5 speed hatchback as a daily. This is it next to my 2012 Tundra. Didn't see a section for builds, so if this is in the wrong place please move :biggrin:

First thing i did was start looking for all weather mats (my feet get dirty). I had heard of 3D mats and the pictures looked pretty good, so decided to give them a try. Definitely impressed with the quality

Wasn't too happy with the little cargo light in the back, so decided to add leds wired to a switch

Also blacked out the badges with some bedliner :biggrin:

https://image.ibb.co/jQx19a/D244_FE09_4720_48_F6_AAF1_8209188_D85_A0_zpsndlsxe eg.jpg

Added an Intake, definitely like the sound difference. Not a huge fan of the AFE using the battery bracket though

Decide to start doing some minor stuff to the interior. Picked up this shift knob and suede boot on ebay for cheap. The boot was universal, so i ended up cutting and restitching it up at work

https://image.ibb.co/cDguUa/2_DACA7_C3_4_A13_44_C0_9_BCB_A72_E33682798_zpskutw 6ghw.jpg

Painted some of the dash pieces to match the Yellow

WHEELS AND TIRES!!!! I went with some 15" Vision 426 Cross in Black and for tires 195/60R15 Falken ZE950. I went with a bigger size because I'm still getting used to having to drive around stuff vs just running it over :biggrin:
Also got a Viper 3105V alarm installed along with tinting the windows

One of the original tires was in decent shape, and since i bought the car without a spare i decided to just use it (not a fan of doughnuts anyways). The full size tire wont fit where the old spare goes without removing the riser piece on the top. This is tac welded to the car, so before doing this you need to make sure you don't have any emotional attachments to that doughnut. I simple took a big hammer and beat it out...but you can definitely grind away the tac welds. then simply fill the holes in and ta da! full size spare room

WOOHOO!! Added a new Android head unit and kicker hideaway sub!
Went with the hideaway because even though i was really tempted to throw a crazy set up in there, i convinced myself i needed the space more. Put it on the floor because I have taken the back seat out and don't plan on putting it back in. It doesn't sound bad, but definitely doesn't compare with the normal amp/sub set up. I'm ok with it though, more info on the head unit here

Got some performance updates :D
Got my hands on a Golden Eagle Intake Manifold and a 1ZZ Throttle body, did the coolant bypass on the throttle body and working on adjusting the idle screw. Gonna need a new coupler for the intake, I don't know how people got their originals to work

Nice ride!

I'm with Dabuu on the yellow and I also prefer at least 16" wheels, but overall you have yourself something really cool going. Absolutely love those mats; they look way more slick than the Weathertech option. Going to look into those.

Sushi is a funny name!

That angled thing is so stupid in the spare tire well! I wonder what it's purpose even is other than to get stuff trapped under it haha.

Just so you know, if you get the microphone assembly and the radio from a 2013 or later Yaris it's all plug and play and then the radio will have bluetooth calls and audio.

Is this only applicable to those cars without the Bluetooth head unit? Mine has the Bluetooth head unit but the factory microphone is awful

its held on by 2 (maybe 3 or 4) nuts from the back. you'll have to remove the plastic trim piece on the back door to get to them. the front emblem doesn't have any tape, it just clips in

I used a self etching primer that bonds to plastic, it will say it on the can. I have some spray on tint, but to be honest Ive never had a finished product Ive liked lol. BUT i think that has to do more with my ability to paint/prep

The air vent are two pieces that clip together, that then clip to that gray trim piece. you use a flat head screw driver to pry the tabs up

I bought some of those 3D mats for my car. Couldn't stop thinking about how slick they look vs. the Weathertech's after seeing your pic of them in your car.

They arrived super fast from the online retailer I bought them from and I like the way they look/feel in hand. Can't wait to get my car back from the body shop to see how they look inside. I'm hoping they improve the feel of my interior over the 10 yr old factory carpet mats that are looking a little tired, and am really hoping they go up high enough on the missing dead pedal to cover the light wear spot in the carpet that's developed over the years. I see that they do in your year, just hoping it's the same for the 2nd gen's.

Thanks again for posting about them!

Yeah, nothing major, thanks.

I had some minor spider cracking and a few scratches on my rear bumper from my better half leaving her car door open in the garage and me not noticing it in the dark while backing into my spot. Just bumped it and it popped her door closed. No damage to her door, but it got me a little. It also put about a 2" crack in my tail light, but I got a replacement from someone here on the forum.

Also having the body shop do a color sand and buff on the whole car to get it looking super crispy for All Toyotafest in Long Beach next Saturday. Would have had the work done anyway, as I love keeping my car looking sharp (much cheaper than buying a new one), but showing it at All Toyotafest just gave me even more of an excuse lol.

Sorry to OP for going off topic...

Be careful with the obd2 reader size. Some stick out of the car port just enough to catch your knee as you enter and exit your car.
I don't use mine enough to worry but Amazon does sell a little bit lower profile scanners if you plan on using it as you drive.

I like the tire lettering.

Like fender flares, everyone is doing it these days. I've gone back and forth on it. As with fender flares, I don't think I'm going to do it to mine, but unlike fender flares, I do think tire lettering looks good.

Any comment about the eonon headunit sound quality ?? I am really interested on those, but I don’t know if it’s worth it buying one, rather a pioneer or Sony in the same price range (even if they don’t come with android).

If you are powering factory speakers its fine. If you are running components id recommend amping them, but i would recommend an amp if i was running any other head unit as well. The eq is pretty basic compared to my old pioneer units (just has high, mids, lows)

But now that i think about it, maybe there is an better eq that can be downloaded to it. Not sure, haven't looked or tried. Im just running 6.5" Kickers front and rear and a 10" mtx sub

So in compare with your old pioneer from a scale 1 to 10 how much do you rate the sound quality of the eonon and how much the pioneer?
I am not going to plug an amp any time soon so yeah that’s why I am asking

Great mods and I really appreciate you keeping it updated and the pic links alive too.

You get a hats off here....

LEDs in the rear are a great mod, Heck your mods look awesome. I’m not a fan of yellow either but it’s your car, not mine. I really like the cloth idea on your panels.

I’m a silver fan but your white hatch looks fantastic, and with the whites out tires I love it.

Can you comment on the difference you felt with the rear sway and the front brace? Could you really feel the difference?

I didn’t realize the rear was a solid type axle of sorts, more like a beam I guess.

Bet your MPG is hilariously different than the Tundra???

I don't think Garm made them himself, I think they were one of the many products he sold. My stubby antenna is also a Micro Image product, but I got it from Jeff at one of the old Sonic meets in Fullerton. He was making his hatchback stock again in prep for selling, so he traded me my OEM RC car antenna for the Micro Image stubby he had.
