I love that colour -- looks great with the rims. Are you planning on dropping it? It looks a little like it is on its 'tippie-toes' right now.

yea, it is time to drop it. Thats my next project.

Has anybody taken their door panels off? I am going to wire up a keyless entry system and need to access the lock wires.

Nice, but big pimp'in and 17's for a Yaris should never be used in the same sentence. :laugh:

Looks good!

Please include your wheel specs (with offset) and the tire size in your garage.

Those are real nice. If you were to drop that would the rims rub?

I think I could drop it an inch or so without any rubbing, but I'm not for sure. I come from the 4wheeling universe of lifted trucks and jeeps...on those types of suspensions, there are bump stops that can be extended or modified to prevent rubbing during full suspension compression. Anybody know if this relates to the yaris at all? I'm not even sure if we've got bump stops....
