Some easy mods for my new Yaris... - Toyota Yaris Forums

nickhjort · 06-24-2007, 06:52 PM

This is my first thread :) These are just a couple of easy mods that I added to my New '07 Yaris 3D Liftback recently. I added the white Streetglow neons underneath. The two blue switches fit nicely in the two blank spots next to the AUX input and door locking thingy (top switch is for outside lights, and the bottom will be for the interior lights). I still have to add the front one, and I will post more pics after I do. I also added a Pioneer Stereo. The new stereo has AUX inputs in the back so I soldered up a wire from the original stereo AUX input so I can still utilize it if needed. I will replace the stock speakers and add a ten inch ESA woofer (maybe two) with a 760 watt Pioneer amp once I get some more time (again pics will come later). I added a chrome tip on the muffler, but just until I get my new Greddy exhaust in the mail this week. My girlfriend bought me the Silver shift knob right out of the Yaris accessories catalog. I think it matches the interior nicely. The Tach is a 2" Evil moked lense tachometer. It was a bitch to cut the hole because I didn't want to take the door to the comparment off. Big mess :) and also I just ordered an AEM Cold Air Intake which is also coming this week. And last but not least, the rear emblem removal. I ordered the back Vitz emblems and the front one too. I will post more pictures after everything is installed.

I have been wanting to see what that shifter knob actually looked like in the car. Nery nice. You gotta get yourself a new boot now.

Nice little touches. What's next?

THanks dood :) Yeah I wanna get a white boot. Any ideas where I might find a nice one? The AEM CAI and Greddy TI-C exhaust are next. And then when I get the cash, some Enkei rims.

white may be a custom thing, type in shifter boot in the search box, I know etimago has a custom one and there are some options, start there

www.redlinegoods.com for the nicest leather shift boots out there

Just choose the Scion xB one, it is compatible with our shifters.

no kidding, true! I put my gauges in like that too. I used a 90-degree drill set up. It's nearly IMPOSSIBLE to take that door off, the screws hold it in from the back, blecchh..

AlphaFox · 07-04-2007, 11:06 AM

where did you get the tach?

nickhjort · 07-04-2007, 07:14 PM

Yeah I can see the tach while driving. The sun does reflect off it so sometimes it's a pain, but I do most of my driving in the dark so it's all good. And I got the tach on ebay. I think it was like 25 bucks including shipping.
