New Yaris owner looking for mods - Toyota Yaris Forums

Dixienormis90 · 10-10-2014, 03:00 PM

I purchased a 4 door, silver, 2013 hatchback about two weeks ago. Just figured I would introduce myself.

This is a big change for me (I've always owned trucks or Jeeps). I traded in a 11 Jeep wrangler unlimited with a 3" lift and 35x12.5 tires for this because I recently started attending college and 12mpg isn't exactly practical for me at the moment.

I have been creeping through the forum for the last couple of weeks looking for cheaper appearance mods. Really, I can't find many mods for the later model yaris's, I don't know why.

Thus far all I've really done is remove the badges and am scheduled to get 15% Tint all around in a couple weeks. Other than that I plan on plastidipping the front and rear Toyota symbol and I'm really stuck on other options.

If anyone could give me a few ideas on where to go from here it would be much appreciated.

Rims and tyres?
Calliper painting?
Spoiler
Blacked tails
Eyelids?

Actually I planned on all of those except the eyelids. (will be doing a retrofit and hid conversion) along with plasti dipping the front and rear Toyota badges. I saw in another thread where someone put carbon fiber vinyl over the rear chrome trim price that covers the licence plate light. That is in future plans also. Changing all the interior bulbs, reverse bulb and license plate bulb to 5k or 6k led also. I'd really like to add fogs but can't find a good set for under $400 and they're not that important to me. I'm just having trouble finding anywhere that actually makes anything directly for a yaris and not a universal fit.

Definitely rims should be on your list, I recently plastidipped the arm rest and hooked up a 2000w sony subwoofer to the new yaris hatchback

. On my list below
- interior footwell lighting with a switch
- xenon 55w fog lights
- plastidip front+back toyota logo+yaris+blacking tailight with plastidip
- leather seats (dislike cloth)
- spoiler
- rims

For now thats what i have in mind
