Found these on ebay. Bid and won them for 15 cents, including shipping.

Kind of a silly little add-on, but I like them.

Just won one of those bids at 25 cents with free shipping. Probably won't see them until sometime in September, but for 25 cents, they can come when they come and I'll love them lol.

How can something be shipped from China for essentially nothing? What a strange world we live in.

Will this go down as the least expensive mod on the forums? :)

Crazy, right? I couldn't believe it myself.

Better question is, do I even list this as a "mod" on YW and Wheelwell lol? My AutoZone steering wheel cover and license plate frames are embarrassing enough!

Nice. Can't wait to see photos! LOL.

BTW, shipping took 12 days from China to LAX, and 21 days from LAX to Huntington Beach!

Estimated delivery: Wed. Aug. 16 - Wed. Sep. 20

No tracking number, no delivery yet.

Meh, for 25 cents, it's not a big loss if they never make it, but I'd by lying if I said I wasn't hoping they'd come lol.

Hang in there. They'll probably arrive soon.

I got these for my Encore for 31 cents:

Ha, nice. Those are cool. Did you order them around the same time as the first set for your Yaris?

I actually ordered them 2 days later for my Camry. Instead, I put them on my new Encore. They arrived 36 days after ordering.

Hopefully you're right and mine will come soon, but again, for a quarter, I can't complain too much.

I still can't understand how they're selling and shipping for that cheap.

Patience. It's not too far beyond delivery window...yet.

I once had a purchase shipped from China that was supposed to arrive in 6 weeks. Took just over 3 months. At some point along the way, it had actually incurred a Russian postmark.

^^^ What does that hand gesture mean?Look it up. I'm not going to attempt to describe it here. I will say that it is sexual fingering, but go no further than that.

Found it, and it IS called the "shocker". Why would someone want that on their valve caps???

Now that you are aware of it, you will start seeing it in the bottom corner of rear windows and on bumpers all over the place. It was a very popular sticker a number of years back.

Only 3 months in and I can barely make out the Japanese rising sun on the valve stem caps. They've just about faded away to nothingness!
