two new mods - Toyota Yaris Forums

TickleTimeTim · 04-11-2009, 03:51 AM

So, I had been considering a vinyl/decal for the front and sides of my car. Every where I went to get a qoute wanted to charge me atleast $130. Since I finally had a day off yesterday (no work or school!) I decided to stop by pep boys and auto zone and o reileys and so on...at auto zone I found a graphic for $15. I think, what the heck? So I grab it up, anxiously head home, and this is what it turned out like...
oh, and btw, it began to ran as i put the right side on so i was a bit rushed. You will notice it is not perfectly lined up. I measured distances using my knuckles. ha. let me know what you think.
oh and i finally figured out how to paint my tow hook. ha. don't try it. i just wanted it to match my calipers/ brake drums, and strut bar hinges.

Sorry, not feeling that stripe at all. It's obviously meant to be a horizontal stripe and dosen't quite work tilted. It's too small, and the starting point of the graphic makes no sense.

You've got some unique wheels there.

Too bad the stripe distracts from them.

I like it! It makes your car unique....kinda like thinking outside the box!

I gotta agree with the above comments, the front end of the stripe needed to be lower in my opinion; but overall it doesn't look that bad! Also, I know it is only a $15 AutoZone special; but I think it would look better if the stripe got bigger as you went towards the back of the car. A constant-sized stripe like that needs to be parallel with the ground to work.

But that's just my opinion, for what it's worth...

And I do

your effort to make your Yaris unique, and those wheels do look good!

Cheers! M2

+1

loving everything else on the car though

TickleTimeTim · 04-14-2009, 02:26 AM

no biggie, kinda liking the fact that it's different and not everyone agrees with it. plus, i'm modding on a budget and after hearing so many high quotes, i just wanted to see how hard it was to actually put on. i bought the first (and only) generic vinyl i could find. figured i could remove it later if i didn't like it. turns out i do. ha.

Thanks for the wheel comments though.

I like your RS Grille. Is difficult to install?

TickleTimeTim · 04-15-2009, 12:08 PM

Not really hard, just time consuming having to make holes in the new grille and then running zip ties through. Couldn't even reach to tie my zip ties.
