Got a couple of items to install: Electrochromic rear-view mirror and Fiamm
horns. The cold is keeping from tinkering with the car.

why cant you put that stuff on already? also, why do you have springs and coil-overs? (that's the only thing i'd say you shouldn't put on yet..)

1. because my wife had the car in kitchener/waterloo, ontario
2. because its cold and i don't have a garage

i have springs and coilovers because i bought the springs last spring and promised my wife i wouldnt put them on the yaris till i redid the bathroom. the bathroom didnt get done till late october, lol. i recently got a good deal on some used coilovers and im likely going to use those instead of just springs.....but i MAY use the eibach springs w/ the coilover shocks/struts.....not sure yet. prokits are bnib, so i may just sell 'em

Things for the spring:
  • PIAA dual-tone horns
  • TWM short-shifter
  • Gauges for the S/C... still have to buy them though!
There's more I'm sure, but can't think of it. But yeah, I *hate* working on the car in winter. Ugh!!

Well, if you like them enough, you can send them for refinishing or painting.

Got the Fiamm el grande horns installed today. Also did the K&N drop-in filter.
Love the horn and slight improvement in throttle response with the K&N filter.

Right now, the Electrochromic rear-view mirror is the only item left for installation.

Got some small mods waiting to install, not necessarily have to wait till spring cuz most of them are interior mods:

LED for map/dome light
LED parking light
LED licence plate light
window visor
perhaps PIAA H11 Yellow bulb for fog lights
