Holley Shiftwell. The purple 07 yaris sedan

Hi friends,

THE STORY:
The story starts with a new grad from Toronto, decides to move to Texas by himself, no family no friends for a job and well to see the world.
He could not buy a car (d/t) of US credit system. so slow and easy with a lot of bargaining he was able to get his hands on a...

THE CAR:
2007 Used Yaris Sedan with some gnarly paint issues and a few interior hic ups + a dent. for 5k $ CASH.
it has 39k miles only on it.

I dont think you can classify this transformation as a RICE since there isnt really a lot of "worth it" mechanical upgrades on this old of a car at this time.

BEFORE PICTURE


I started on the interior.

Interior Upgrades:
1. Panlelo Flat screen double din HUD (bluetooth, mp3, gps, radio, internet, netflix anything!) and back up camera.
2. Inerior LED lights
3. Vinyl wrapped dashparts.
4. Chemical guys cleaned the dash, restored old black color.
5. Car seat covers.
6. Cheap interior mats. (upgrade soon?)

I did all the wiring, I can include links to everything I bought, bought essentially I turned a 10 year old outdated interior into a underbudget tesla (i wish)

BEFORE:


AFTER


The car went from zero aux cord, no bluetooth and raspy radio music to clear sound, free GPS,
EXTERIOR UPGRADES:
1. Spyder Yaris angel eyes headlights. (bought a used one)
2. Tinted windows
3. Sanded most of the paint problems, scratches and many more.
4. Vinyl wrapped the entire car (i know LOL) ongoing




FINALLY HERE IS A CURRENT PICTURE !
