Painting my Yaris...

[vacantj]

So I'm thinking of painting or matching the silver color on the places were the arrows are at by the windshield wipers and the base were the side mirrors are at and the fog lights base.

What do you guys think of painting the area below the front emblem gloss black and I'm doing a grill on the bottom painted black.

On the back I'm smoking the tail lights and all of the chrome will be painted black - what do you guys think??

Also I'm getting the light markers on the side mirrors - I'm actually making my own so I'll post a picture once I'm done with them..

I would match the fog lights FOR SURE. Here's how painting them turned out on mine:

Yup, i recon do it........foggies will look ummm whats that word, intergrated???

the grille to gloss black...dont think anyone would notice it except u.

My opinion;
YES to fog lights and the those triangle things next to the mirror

NO to the others

i have already done the parts by the mirror and next up is the door pillar and fog light housings. but i agree the wiper cowl is a no no......

hey cali i see you have yellow bulbs in the fogs, what brand????? also can i ask what size are the wheels and whats the offset????

hey cali the front tow hook from ebay was that easy to install or did you have to modify it???

[cali yaris]

It just screws in!
BUT... I had about an inch cut off the threaded end (machine shop friend did it), I thought it stuck out too much when I first tried it.

It's amazing what kind of little crap like this keeps me up at night... sheesh

[ROCKLAND TOYOTA]

^ i wonder if they had blue ones as well cause im sold once again....

I think the wiper cowl will look cheap if you try to paint it. I vote yes to everything else. :smile:

[ROCKLAND TOYOTA]

[cm07yaris]

i believe that is the one

[cali yaris]

yep that's it!

I've asked that guy about a large order, hopefully I can get a better price for us and batch the shipping for a bunch of them. You'll notice the shipping on that auction is more than the item!

My stainless manufacturer receives the sample I sent to him today, so things are progressing.

i think im gonna wait and see what cali has when his guy contacts him....
