Lightbar! - Toyota Yaris Forums

Snyprwlf47 · 01-22-2009, 07:19 PM

I was pondering what was similar to all the vehicle I think are cool in movies and it hit me! They all have a light bar, so I got to thinking.....Yaris+Lightbar!

Whatcha guys think it would look like on my yaris with a lightbar with 4-5 offroad lights mounted to it as an addition to the C-One replica front bumper Garm just sent me and projector headlights???

If anybody is bored and would like to photoshop it real quick that would be cool!

that could look good. i would have to see it first to really say what i think. also (i think) you would be the only one with that.

Or you can mount it like a grill gaurd on trucks, have it attached to the frame then running through the bumper.

I've been wanted to do this for my car also the best idea i came up with is the trd grill and mold to lights in the corner sort of like the nissan pulsar. At least this way its save from from being damage if someone backs into your car. That the only fault i see with the mini version, and the snow/ice will damage the lens or bar if you have to go through your snow bank driveway thanks to the snowplow.

^ damn that is sweet

lilredrocket · 01-22-2009, 10:11 PM

Look at the dryer hose in the lower grille

Morgan · 01-22-2009, 10:15 PM

The mini's light bar is actually mounted to the bumper support with the bracket feeding through the lower grille on either end of the bar

Snyprwlf47 · 01-23-2009, 12:04 AM

What about a low profile roof lightbar? Seeing as you guys are right the bottom of the Yaris bumper is not very sturdy (I know from experience) I hadnt really considered the flimsyness of the bumper!

Snyprwlf47 · 01-23-2009, 12:06 AM

Im gonna see if my GF can photoshop some different configs for you guys to judge

2006fronty · 01-23-2009, 02:47 AM

I want one of these on my Yaris

eTiMaGo · 01-23-2009, 10:26 AM

you should ask Yen (Yaris T-Sport) about his...

Have you considered fabricating a mount that will attach to the front license plate holes? That might work assuming that you're not required to have a front license plate where you are.

those holes are only in plastic we have to have a front license plate in texas and i was pissed when they had to put it on. Now if you can get a bracket to go through the lower grille and attach it to the metal bumper behind it that would be better
