How good are air bags for performance?? How hard are they to install?

I have installed raamat, memory foam, second skin audio damplifier pro, lead composite. Next come the 3 Zapco amps and components.

Also am trying a set of Michelin Exalto tires - the stock tires suck!!!

I have no answers for you on the airbags. However, you are wanting new tires but not new wheels? Why don't you get some new wheels too for your new tires? It's hard to believe you are putting sounds in and you're not into the exterior looks..

I am not sure of any shops that could provide performance parts for you. They would probably just order them from places you could purcahse yourself online. They'd also charge you way more and a ridiculous shipping fee. However, I've ordered A LOT of stuff from www.microimageonline.com . That is Cali_Yaris's company. He always gives me great prices on shipping to hawaii, if not including it to the already existing price.

You can get the NST underdrive, waterpump, alternator pulleys from him. You can also get intakes,headers, and exhaust from him. Heck, you can buy a blitz supercharger from him too if you'd like.

here is the direct link to the performance parts...

and a link to the exhaust page..

I put my fog lights in last weekend, I got a flat black TWM shift knob coming my way from canada, and I just painted my lower grill black! I'm planning on getting the micro image mesh grill one day.






This past sunday I was driving from kahuku to haleiwa and I saw like 5 yaris. Some LBs and some sedans. I highly doubt any of them were users on this board (none were modded). I was wondering if the yaris is being used as a tourist car here in oahu? That'd be gay!

Yah, I have no idea where to get a CF netz emblem. I only know of microimage. You could possibly message cali yaris and ask him if he can special order a rear one in CF. But dang, those are expensive!

Did you get the CF netz badge for the front?!

Lol no I didn't get the CF netz badge for the front. I would only get it if they have it for the back :0

Lol sorry, let me clarify myself. I would get the CF for the front, if micro image also sells the CF for the back. Because I would like to have CF for the front and back, instead of having CF in the front and a regular chrome netz emblem in the back. :)

Ah, much better. So if there isn't a CF for the back, are you going to get the chrome netz for the front and back? Or just leave them stock?

Are they being installed right now? Or have you purchased them yet?
