Does my Yari look weird?

[spinejaruk]

I stuck on some side protection moldings (toyota ones) and front and back corner ones (made by Richbrook) - didn't like the toyota ones because they looked a bit thin and skinny and made the car look like something from a fu man chu movie.

Do they look really bad?

[Edd]

Depends what you want it to look like :biggrin:

Nah, it's not too bad, but does make it look slightly cheaper, imo.

[nqd]

looks like those civic hatches...

[brickhardmeat]

looks more euro to me, like a golf or something, whatever you like, I'd rather look at dings and scuffs really

[Kaotic Lazagna]

yeah, reminds me of the SiR...

If you look at the Yaris front as a face. Those black strip look like black paint american football players put on along w/ baseball players.

[spinejaruk]

Yes the front moldings were a nightmare to put on - there was no way of aligning them to the shape on the front properly - it curves all over the place!

I had to look at other cars to see where to put them (golf was one of them) as there really isn't a guide to where to place them - only from looking at pictures (and testing with other car doors opening on to the side to see the effect) and that was only for the side moldings.

hmm I was thinking of painting to match the color of the car so it may blend in more with the lines of the car...but that sorts of beats the objective....still deciding....

It looks fine. It's unique.

maybe I should fit those SUV bul bars on the front - that will really complete the picture:laughabove:

[yuiedie]

where did you get the toyota side mouldings?

[JosephDoc]

Wow.. I never see that on street.
I don't like it.. a bit too busy to me. Maybe get it painted same to body will stands out more.:iono:

[kurokoma-kun]

I like it! :thumbup: the contrast looks nice, besides I'm wondering if might be too flexible to paint anyway?

[spinejaruk]

where did you get the toyota side mouldings?

I won a bid off ebay (genuine toyota ones which someone didn't want and was unused) only cost me equivalent about 20 US inclusive of shipping. The dealers here charges equivalent over 100 US!! The front/back third party ones cost me more than the side ones!

[petesimac]

Eh. I don't mind the sides as much as the bumpers; plus, the sides are more practical -- they'll protect against other doors; what do the front and rear ones do? There's no such thing as a minor fender bender anymore; I'd take off the front and rear and just leave the sides.

Overall, I like my Yaris clean and smooth!

Sides are ok to paint as they are hard.
front and back are the soft impact type so that may not work too well if painted - paint likely to break very easy....unless you get the toyota ones which I didn't like..

I like my yaris clean and smooth also but people don't know how to park properly in London streets!

I had this woman parked right behind me once within 1cm and there were no cars in front or behind me!:eyebulge:

[kimona]

I think the side moldings look quite good... better if painted.

[ROCKLANDTOYOTA]

if you painted them maybe but i wouldn't have......

[ChinoCharles]

I'd leave them as is. It looks fine and its functional.

[reznunt]

looks like a mustache! =)

[Ryu]

I am sure it is practical.

You can try to do the photoshop on how they look like body color matched.

Maybe you will like it.

As long as you owned a yaris, there is no such thing as a ugly car to me :headbang:

[ECHOKnight2000]

its functional.


Yeah, like an added 5bhp!!:laugh::laugh: :laugh:

[falkor_99]

well like everyone else said its ultimately up to you. but to me it looks kind of weird but also its kinda of cool, I am hung on the fence on this one, but i do like the sides......:biggrin:

[hasher22]

doesnt look weird looks stocked to me

[Kioshi]

it looks like it has whiskers....the Yaris a bunny rabbit now. But anyhow, I guess for protection, its worth it, right?

Some moron lady reversed into me w/o looking behind from rear view mirror....so in that case those help. Then again, wish I had them so I wouldnt have gotten 3 small line dents in my front bumper~

[Thotprawsis]

It's just my opinion, but I would take the front ones off.

[voodoo22]

Do these aerodynamic accentuators give you a noticeable increase in fuel mileage? :biggrin:

I'd keep the side mouldings, but I personally don't like the adolf stache on the front or how the back ones create a seperate lower line on your car.

It's your car though and all that matters is that you like it. It's not like it looks bad.

I'd suggest you also get a rear bumper guard to protect from scuffs and scratches when you take things in and out of the car.

[Yaris Revenge]

I think it makes your car look French!

Do they stick out further than the body line at the door handle? That's where I worry about dings, stupid SUV's everywhere with doors that will dent my roof :thumbdown:

nope. your car now look more euro.

[spinejaruk]

well here's what protection mouldings the dealers are selling here:

thanks for comments - I'll keep the thicker moustace for protection for now - until I'll find the clear transparent type that I like - the ones that are currently available are too small and are only for the corners really
- I'm thinking of putting those on the bodyline on the door handle where it sticks out most - another option is to put those thin strip chrome mouldings all along the side there (could spell a recipe for disaster though!)
apologies for the poor photoshop:

[Zute]

The front and rear looks good! :thumbup: But not too sure about the sides?!

[slvryaris]

The doors look good. Not for sure about the others. I can see how the side can be of use, but I dont know about the other. It sure would keep ya from having door dings.

[fu_im_from_texas]

i like it :thumbup:

[njyaris]

the sides are cool .. you should def paint them the same color as your car .. but the front and backs are over board ..

[naossoan]

Oh my, please take them off!!!! You're embarrassing the poor little guy :(

Just do what I do, find the furthest, emptiest parking spaces and park there. It's worth the extra 15 seconds of walking. Trust me.
