Nice, did you do the undercoating for sound deadening? Do you notice a difference?

Yea the inner fenders because rocks would swirl around and hit the fender walls. I have notice some improvement.

Excellent choice in wheels! One the best Toyota alloys you can get for a Yaris.
(I've got 'em too, so yeah, I'm a little biased.) Congrats on the new car and your first mods. Lookin' good!

Lol thanks. Love your wheels too.
But my next question is to debadge or not to debadge??? |

Thanks, we've got good taste!
I asked myself that question too when I first started out. Ended up debadging it, and never had any regrets. A lot of folk around here have done it... DIY: Debadge/Black out Emblems I say go for it, and if you don't like it, you can always stick 'em back on.

Here's what they looked like when I got em. OEM Scion 7 Spoke wheels on my Yaris. NICE - View Single Post. And here's what they looked like while I was painting them Painted the Calipers - View Single Post (I don't have a pic of before all of my prep work, but it wasn't pretty and I ended up using a lot of caliper cleaner, a wire brush, sandpaper and a lot of elbow grease to prep them for painting). Since you live in Massachusetts, it might be worth it to paint them before winter sets in. I'm sure red on a red car would look good, and if that's not your thing they also have a few other less vibrant colors available (at least I know they make silver and black kits). For the back drums I just used a can of black spray-on caliper paint. Just something to think about, and it's a cheap mod that shows some real attention to detail without standing out at all.

Looking good. One that should have been in the first IMHO would have been the Weathertech Floor liners. Oh and from Mass yea the liners for sure.

Ohh I forgot, I didn't get the weathertech floor liners but did get some advance auto floor mats when I first bought the car. It's not oem figment but it gets the job done!
