on a 1 to 10 scale, a 8.5. This is about the best we can do with the type of paint and paint job we get on this econo car. Only way to get a 10 is to have it painted at a good shop and put out tons of money. She looks good.

Doesn't matter what we think as long as you like it. Btw, it does look good. Are you planning on lowering it?

I'd like to, but how far can you go without scraping? I looked at the DIYs, and the front looks like such a pain I'd probably end up doing the TRD kit and having the dealer install it.

Have you done it on yours?

A washed and waxed Y always looks good, but what do YOU think of it?

I like it cosmetically, but the ultimate Yaris would be one with a secret AWD system and some forced induction...

Some tire shine will turn it into a beauty, good job waxing your car.

What kind of hitch you got? and did it clear your exhaust? it looks like an aftermarket exhaust or did you just do the tip?

I want a hitch but it prolly won't clear my Medallon Touring.

The hitch I got was from "Hitch-It" and it's discreet enough where I don't think you'll have a problem unless you have a center exhaust. I plan to do a custom center exhaust that goes around it. So far, I just have a tip.

That's what a snowbank and a hill do at 40 MPH. The quote for a new bumper was $2800, so I might just get a lip kit to cover it up. I still have the piece that fits in there, so I could possibly fix it from behind.
