Thumbs up Painted Lower Grill

Hey Yaris owners, i just painted my red HB's lower grill black, post some photo to share with all you Yaris owners, enjoy

Before...

After...

A closer look, JUST FOR YOU

Notice i also painted my fog lamp covers red??? To match the color of the car, it is looking more sporty than before overall.It's cheap, easy and save you big money mod, and the result is worth it, $6 spary paint vs. $300-$400 front bumper,you can do it too.

Nah, Bud, i traded it for my Yaris, I wasted a lot off money for the mods on the Echo, one reason is because it was an Auto, which means i could not upgrade the drivetrain, such as the flywheel, and clutch, another reason was it wasnt a very good looking car even though i tried hard to love it, but i have learned my lesson from my Echo, which means, im not going to put those mods such as intake, header, suspensions, ect like my Echo. Because it didnt really make a differnence, maybe half of a second quicker from 0-60, handling..... dont feel any different... It wasnt worth the money of me spending on all that mods, SO THE WORD IS, INSTEAD OF MODDING MY YARIS W/ INTAKE, HEADER, ECT... IM GOING TO PUT THE MONEY ON A TURBO KIT THIS TIME TO GET THE REAL BOOST, my goal is to boost my Yaris to 218BHP before i do mods like suspension, ect. And im SAVING IT RIGHT NOW
