Kaminari kit installed [pics] - Toyota Yaris Forums

cali yaris · 08-03-2007, 09:01 PM

Here you go. It's lower now, I have to be careful in driveways and speed bumps!

There are minor imperfections, but overall a very nice kit with decent fitment. The tow hook is that cheap-o one from eBay. I painted the foglight inserts also (they were black).

I think spacers on the rear wheels will be a good idea.

Spoiler is next!

solarVitz · 08-03-2007, 09:05 PM

That car looks beautiful! Good job man.

bubaa · 08-04-2007, 03:11 AM

dammmn looks great i really want that kit

jdium · 08-04-2007, 03:58 AM

The kit actually looks great, I've never liked it in other pics.

The only thing I'm not fond of is how small the rims look after the kit, seems unbalanced.

And the tow hook, don't like it...love the badge situation in the back...

Sabretooth · 08-04-2007, 04:32 AM

The rims naturally look smaller due to the Chrome lip, even 17's look smaller than 15's because they set back and loose some space to make room for that lip.

cali yaris · 08-04-2007, 11:30 AM

tails on the way from Etimago, woo hoo!

I agree the wheels look smaller now, but it doesn't bother me..yet.

-- I'm going to start with some 10mm spacers in the back.

ROCKLAND TOYOTA · 08-04-2007, 11:31 AM

i asked this somewhere else but what size are the wheels and the offset...

cm07yaris · 08-04-2007, 11:32 AM

That looks awesome man! Did it come with Kaminari badges for the sideskirts in those little cutouts? Keep up the excellent job!

brickhardmeat · 08-04-2007, 11:37 AM

spacers in the rear ASAP, I like your car very much, nice

yeah, i think with the kit you will need 10mm to even everything up

cali yaris · 08-04-2007, 11:57 AM

thanks, H & R spacers on the way.

SportMax wheels, 16" x 7", +38mm

Yes, I have the Kaminari badges, BUT... I want a TRD badge in that spot! Anyone know of a badge that would fit? It's a 90mm x 30mm cutout.

Exhaust looks sooooo much better now with a lower bumper.

cali yaris · 08-04-2007, 12:52 PM

ROCKLAND -
You don't "need" the spacers, but aesthetically the rear wheels could come out just a bit so they will look as flush as the fronts. Minor detail before, but accented now with the kit on the car. I suppose I could stagger tire size, but I don't want to get into that.

ROCKLAND TOYOTA · 08-04-2007, 01:10 PM

ok cool, i will be getting spacers seeing as your answer was exactly what i wanted to hear.......
