My mum got the Vinyl Wood for the Camry, and looks great. But I reckon if you get it sprayed it would look much better.
there's this company in Sydney, www.aquadip.com.au , they quoted $600 to do the whole dash for my mum's Camry (that was 2 years ago, i'll contact them, see how much it costs to do the yaris). I reckon since you have a black Yaris, do CF or Marble black would look really nice! |

that is a fake CF looking pattern, not all that great looking compared to the real thing... IF you can wait, I have found a company here that advertises full, real CF (or wood) replacement of these parts. But it's pricey, over US$600 for the complete set... I just don't have the time to check them out at the moment, but will do later.

I'll consider painting the hood (not the stock one), eyelids, mirror covers, and maybe the door pillars CF
and do the interior in CF or marble black will think about and see how much will it cost

I don't think it's a simple painting process,
if this can be done in painting, it's ganna b such a hard process

I thought it may be done as an airbrush carbon fiber looking or something I don't have any idea but as leasaunce said you can get it sprayed, I asumed it can be sprayed using estencil or something (did I spell estencil right?) I don't have any idea about this thing, that's why I'm asking

I don't think the side you drive would affect the Kit sold in Canada.
