YARIS Christmas To Me????

OK, I want to buy myself something (cause I spent a mint on the family) for Christmas. I don't want to make my YARIS faster (would have bought a 911) or prettier (would have bought a Mercedes) but want something useful with major giggle factor. What should I buy??????

Redo the suspension (coilovers and rear sway bar) and some nice sticky tires? Have fun tossing the car around corners

Depends on your budget. What are you looking to spend?

Buy a rear sway bar. It makes a huge difference in how the stock car drives!

+1 You cant really make the yaris faster without spending a significant amount of money. But you can make the car more fun to drive with a few simple suspention mods without breaking the bank. Rear swaybar would be a good place to start.

+ 1 rear sway bar. Should of come stock on the Yaris. Helps a little w/ gusts of wind on the highway. So do lowering springs.

I have a bar on the back and it was a very good addition and I also bought some great tires just a few months ago that surprisingly work well even though they are geared more to all season use then performance. Maybe if I do a kitty exhaust and weld big teeth to the bottom half it would fly with my friends. I was actually thinking about heading over to Cruthfield which happens to be pretty close to me and get a radio with built in XM?
