My intro.
Hey everyone!
Stumbled on this forum while doing some searches for the Yaris. Looks like a decent community to gain some knowledge, kick back & chill. Here goes: Scott. WISCONSIN. '07 Yaris Sedan S. Manual. It was Bayou Blue. Did approx. 15-20 hours of body work with a buddy of mine over the cours of the last three weeks or so. Had it repainted Friday morning. Picked it up last night. Debadged it. Got a new OEM front bumper because I cracked the original when I did some 360's on I-94 a couple of years ago during a snowstorm & hit the center median. That was exciting. No, really. It was. I do a lot of graffiti / street art / sticker art / canvases / stencil art in my spare time. I sticker bombed the new front bumper with vinyl stickers from various artists all over the world I've traded with along with a bunch of my own that I've designed... I know it's sorta kinda an overplayed hype on the west/east coasts, but since I'm in Wisconsin - I figure, I can get away with. Anyway, the car is currently bone stock aside from the new paint. I'll get better pics today. Just a couple of quick ones I took last night. Hope everyone is having an awesome Labor Day weekend! |

is your car paint... flat black? but i like wat you did with the front bumper - you should do that to the whole car!

It's more of a satin finish than it is flat... not too glossy... not too flat. :)
Thanks for the comment! I want to get the windows tinted and a mild drop added next. I'm thinking about going with the H&R Springs or the Eibach Pro-Kit. |

Thanks, everyone!! Much appreciated!!
willygoodness is correct.... those are just a set of hubcaps I scored on eBay for $9. hahaha. I lost a couple of stock hubcaps over time and added these about a year ago. Windows aren't tinted at all, but I think that's going to be my next addition. After that, I'd like to lower it just a bit with something like the H&R springs or Megan Racing springs... I don't really wanna go lower than 1.5" or so since it's my daily driver and I'm in Wisconsin.

I think the gloss clearcoat of the sticker bombed front end adds an awesome contrast to the matte/satin black paintjob. I definitely want something with a matte/flat black finish. Thinking about maybe going with the Focal X wheels... I honestly haven't really seriously looked. I just saw those online the other day and they caught my eye. Up next: window tint + lowering springs + struts. :) Really appreciate all the replies and everyone looking at my thread!
