Thanks!

Yea I like them too! What kind of Toyota did you get those center caps off of? (and did you have to sticky tape them on like all the chrome ones other people use...)

coffiend · 07-17-2009, 12:26 PM

they were on a few tercels I think? I actually see these caps EVERYWHERE, they might have been on old corollas as well. Most of the ones that are still alive are really gray and nasty though.

Our salvage yard doesnt keep an inventory so basically I just had to kinda walk through and scan every car for the caps... but I know for sure they were on older (80s maybe?) Tercels.

I havent used any adhesive at all on my caps and they have stayed on just fine so far... I drove about an hour going between 75 and 90 mph and theyre still on nice and snug... so.... so far so good.

ok black is by far my favorite color on the Yaris. However, I always hear how hard black is to keep clean, it shows scratches and marks easier and heats up like crazy in the sun. Considering all those things, are all of you still happy you went with black? I'm torn between black, silver and blue.

Black is the baddest of badass colors out there, it is a pain to keep clean but it is the sweetest color you will find when it! Nothing looks better than the deep, shiny reflection from a black car!

I love it... black cars always look pretty bad ass. I'm not sure the black exterior really contributes to the heat inside... With tinted windows, a black car looks even better and helps keep it cool. As far as keeping it clean, well that is a problem... not sure what to do about it, other than wax it good...

I absolutely LOVE my black. It does take some pretty intense care though if you want to keep it clean...

I wash mine a ton and always keep it nice and waxed.

If you are willing to take care of your car, and you like black, I say go for it.

Haven't done much to the exterior yet besides the tint (graphics and pinstripes were already on it...got it from a repo auction)....but black is beautiful...even on plain Yarii!

Is the "I just got sideswiped" look popular where you're from?
