that green wheels give me a dizzy feeling :)

I checked your garage, but it doesn't have details on the current wheels. The wife wants me to paint the whole car that color, but I would rather do something less dramatic/expensive/permanent, perhaps with vinyl decals or wheels. Are those custom painted, or something off the shelf?

They are stock alloy painted some green engine stuff from autozone. Whole car that color? Hah I don't know. I like it though.

Well, she likes the color of the Mazda2 and the Ford compacts. I wouldn't buy a Ford if you paid me to drive it, and I'd rather wait for a Mazdaspeed version of the 2 before I seriously looked at it. Either way, I think it may be blasphemy to paint a Yaris the color of another brand.

Only link to this commercial I could find. Looks like an advertising page; but watch the vid. XD

Looks pretty interesting....what exhaust it that? I'm assuming that its a tip judging by your Sig?

TickleTimeTim · 05-05-2012, 12:04 AM

yeah, i got a muffler put on so i can switch exhaust tips. which im actually considering the dual tip. ill check it tomorrow, but its an auto zone 15 dollar tip. cleans up real well. used to have a welded on exhaust tip but it got rusted and i lost the silencer.

Is your front end painted or is that a sticker? I like it!

i went with vinyl route, but i know some people paint it. if you go to autozone or pep boys they sell that big thing of matte vinyl, i think its called car wrap. use it with a hair dryer and it is easy to put on.

skootdog · 05-06-2012, 09:48 PM

Nice job! I'll look the next time i go. If anything you would think it would help with the paint chipping from road rocks.

Loving the small stipes on your front, thinking of doing the same on my little car with carbon fibre.
