new look - Toyota Yaris Forums

Qmobile · 11-11-2009, 06:46 PM

Well I need a new look for my ride...I was thinkg about: A. getting a different underglow kit B. Doin' a lil more LED work on the outside C: and a lil LED work on the inside. By that I'm htink about gettin' some washer nossles (with blue LED of course), and a lighted L-plate frame for the front(if it'll work with the protector) linkin them to a switch maybe 2 and putting some LED strips on the inside linked up the thier own switch. Anybody got any input? Keep in mind that this IS drivin all year 'round and is shown in shows

add LED's inside of your wheel wells so they light up your rims from the inside, and then add some inside the grills too.

oh and the LED mirror covers are always hot...

Too much after market lighting can kill a car's look IMO. But, considering this is a show car. :P I am highly against the leds on your windshield washer nozzles, but the idea of some lighting behind the wheels isn't bad.

LEDs in the engine bay shining out the front grill..... FTW!!!
LEDs on your washer nozzles..?!?!?!? NOT FTW! :{
let me know how you wire up the LEDs... I've been meaning to add some LED eyebrows on my headlights<3

I belive the term your lookin' for is FTL. What about a lil on the inside? I'm just thinkin' the footwells maybe in the area in front of the gearshift

I've been telling you for a long time man, lower that car! It needs it badly, plus LEDS aren't going to really show up during car shows man and a lowered clean Yaris would look a lot more unique too. Save up over winter man and buy a decent suspension for spring time. Thats my two cents man.

i have a hood and side skirts for sale :) that would do it :)

^agreed! lowering is the most dramatic single thing you can do to a car(especially our '4x4' yaris) visually - and it helps out in the handling department too(if done right). it was the first thing i did to mine and i still find myself checking it out everytime i walk to it! however, i'm not gonna lie to you and say it's perfect. i REALLY have to pay attention when driving - not necessarily a bad thing - and speed bumps/potholes literally give me sweats! i have scraped my frame so many times and i'm afraid to put an aftermarket exhaust on for fear of tearing it off(i already scrape the factory one going up my driveway -even when creeping). winter is going to be a nightmare i think and i have to drive my wife's yaris(unlowered) anytime i need to carry heavy loads in the back(twice a week with my job).

i still defend the lowering to the wife because i believe the looks alone(not even considering the slight increase in handling) are worth the extra trouble, but that's just me! i've seen your yaris(dayton meet) and it looks great and while i agree with greenthunder with the lowering i thought you should know all the details. also, if you aren't mechanically inclined you might want to consider somebody doing the install for you. it's not as bad as some say, but it did take me an afternoon taking my time and reading the diy. don't forget - 17mm OFFSET box wrench and 6mm hex if you don't have an impact wrench!
