got my yaris yesterday

Had to drive from las vegas to LA to get it, and it only took me 4 hours to get out of LA !!!!

But it was worth it!

4,300 miles on it, and it cost me 12,400. Power package, with automatic..

i've looked on craigslist for like 4 months trying to find the right one, and other than a few scratches here and there, its perfect.

hub caps were scratched up pritty good, but I got new ones for free.. so going to sand them down and spray paint them black.

going to throw some highly illigal tint on it tomorrow.

but 4 hours of stop and go in LA, and 80-85mph from LA to LV, and still got 33.14 mpg. sooo happy, now its time to go 55-65mph, and 40ish mpg!

The car looks GREAT! Congrats! Please don't paint the wheels black, and tint the windows!!! It'll make the car look kind of ghetto, imo. It looks great the way it is now.

Remember, less is more! Save your money, and leave it alone. It looks perfect now!

I have a few reasons why I get limo tint.

1) its vegas, tint is a requirement in 115+ degree heat.
2) dont have to worry about male ego at 55mpg in a 65mph =P
3) I have glaucoma, so it helps out with halos and blurring.
4) makes the car look better (imo)

Yes, you need to lower the suspension and slap on a nice set of 17" alloys and 205/40 x 17 tires! From there, the list is almost endless.

Congrats and enjoy your new ride dg4rez.
Welcome to the forum and we expect to hear from you soon.

Tint is the first mod anyone should get. Not only does it look great, it protects the interior from fading and keeps the interior cooler.
