my attempt to make my American Yaris look more Foriegn. - Toyota Yaris Forums

A Sexy Chilean · 05-31-2007, 03:47 PM

I recently became the proud owner of a 2007 Black toyota Yaris 3 Door. I mean i put this car well above the mini cooper, and it is a great car to drive. Well now I am in the phase of my life where I want to start customizing the the car for my liking. But there are several things that I find to my dislike in the "Americanized" yaris. The first is the fact that we do not have the option of getting all disc brakes. This may seem like a small issue, but I have these rims in mind, and the last thing I want to see is an ugly drum brake behind a good looking rim. The second issue is the roof rack. Now I really wished this option would have been made available in the states, but apparently not.

My question to you guys is if you know anyway I can "easily" acquire these parts and have them installed. The braking system I think I can do, but I don't want to rely too much on my amateur skills. Thanks

Oh yeah, If anyone has tried installing fog lamps yourself, please let me know how that went. I wanted the fog lamps, but I didn't want to pay the outrageous price for the upgraded package.

Welcome to the forums! There stuff in the DIY section about the fog lamps, as for the other things, I'll allow the people that have done that to comment on it.
