Ownership of my Yaris Sedan just hit 4 years and I still enjoy driving it for my daily commute so I thought I might as well spruce up the interior a little. :biggrin:

I like the hand brake cover. You got that from Toyota? Did it only come in red?

Thank you! I'm going to have to figure out if it's the same size/fit for the 2nd gen hatchback. I wouldn't mind having one...

the item on eBay shows it's for 3rd gen models but again mine is 2nd gen model too and still fits. :thumbup:

Yup, that handbrake cover is really nice!


This one appears to be the same, but cost less with the free shipping:

It does give you a premium feel to your handbrake but you've to try it for yourself :cool:

I decided to take the plunge & give this a shot for my 2015 Yaris. I'm not a fan of the hard-plastic feel of the parking/hand brake, so hopefully this will make if feel more pleasant to the touch, seeing as how we have to constantly touch it as part of the operations of our vehicle. :laugh: I will post a pic & give an update when I get the item in the mail & installed.

I wish someone made a soft-touch insert/overlay that would fit over the hard-plastic interior door handle/grip. Not a fan of how that feels either when I go to close the door from the inside. :thumbdown:

A friend of mine who owns the 11th gen Corolla bought one too and loves it! :laugh:

The material of the cover feels good and should last awhile. The threads/stitch may get worn/dirty over time and you can replace it with a color of your choice. :smile:

so my TRD Emblem from US arrived just arrived. This emblem is the soft/flexi resin type so it can fit to contoured surfaces and I've decided to place it at the compartment of the cupholder behind the armrest.

cupholder closed/taken without flash

59596
cupholder open/taken with flash

Now the rear passengers can oogle at this when they are bored :laugh:

Kalispel has ordered one so you can wait for his feedback before deciding.

I'm not sure if some are aware that Toyota Thailand has some accessories for the Yaris & Vios for some time now. Some could be a hit :thumbsup: and some could be a miss :thumbdown:

Please note that below are for RHD

PZ022-0D005 Pedal Set A/T
PZ022-0D006 Pedal Set MT

So I've been using this set for over 2 years now. They look close to the Vitz JDM set:

PZ022-0D001 Pedal Set A/T
PZ022-0D002 Pedal Set MT

Happy hunting! :burnrubber:

Unfortunately your gas pedal is upside down and backwards compared to LHD cars. They won't fit.

Finally arrived on a slow boat from Thailand last week. Toyota OEM part# PZ020-0K008 - Leather Hand Brake Cover. It was $20 total cost (part + shipping). Nothing flashy or life-changing, but it does cover up the hard plastic feel of the parking brake lever nicely enough to give it more of a premium/soft-touch feel. I think white stitching might have complimented the SE seats a bit better & made it more of a stand-out accessory, but I am fine with black on black for now. It fits snug & tight & won't be sliding/moving at all.

Below is a crappy phone-pic of the end-result of getting it on & the stitching tightened properly:

Yeah you could replace to white thread if you want to match your interior.

I also just wanted to add that this actually does look (& feel) better in-person than my low-quality phone-pic illustrates. I'm very happy with the purchase, and consider it a $20 well-spent interior upgrade. :thumbsup:

Well I hate to say this but I feel that Mazda 2 seems to be more value for money now with all the goodies they throw in compared to Toyota.

Hopefully a Toyota rep reads this :wink:
