New Yaris owner, any mod ideas? - Toyota Yaris Forums

geniusmusicman · 01-20-2010, 12:08 AM

I own a 2008 Toyota Yaris 4 Door Sedan and I was wanting to get some mods done on my car. Does anyone have any good ideas?

For right now I am looking for exhaust systems, CAI's, and Headlight and Taillight Styling(Projectors/LED's). I have looked on ebay for some stuff, but I am having a hard time finding projector headlights and led tail lights for the 4dr sedan version. I see a bunch of stuff for the 3 Door Liftback, but that is it. Any information is greatly appreciated.

Have a look around, do some searching, there are plenty of mods out there.

Also, check out MicroImageOnline.com; they sell a bunch of Yaris parts.

Check out the store at Micro Image.com. There is a ton of stuff to add to your car. The first thing I would do is buy a rear sway bar. I drove my 07 Sedan stock for 80k miles and then added new shocks, springs, tires and wheels. It really woke the car up!

geniusmusicman · 01-21-2010, 05:08 PM

Thanks for the ideas. I love the shark fin antenna idea for sure. Wish more cars had it. As for those taillights, are there pictures anywhere showing what they look like on the 5 door sedan and what they look like lighted up at night on the sedan?

brendiamondVIOS · 01-25-2010, 07:21 PM

those tailights look pretty sick. is it painted over also?

Muffler Tip

I like your deck Andru. Personally my favorite is Kenwood, but Alpine runs a close second when it comes to receivers.

post #6, 2nd pic -- those ARE on a 5 door sedan. (with a lip kit, dual exhaust and the tails)
In that picture, the customer used red film for the lower half of the tails -- really nice look!

Some HIDs may be nice, or eyelids :)

geniusmusicman · 01-28-2010, 02:36 AM

Ok, I was wondering about those tail lights. I personally like them without the red film, they look real good clear. As for some HID's, I definitely want some. I think Ice Blue would be a good color. I was hoping I could find some good projectors for my car first, but it looks like they dont make them for the sedan yet. I saw one guy on CarDomain that retrofitted his headlights to include a projector and those looked pretty sweet. Wish I knew how to do that. Plus he had those led tail lights on as well. Pretty much like everything on his ride. Here it is:

I just picked up a blue tooth rear view mirror. It was 150 bucks and looks factory too. It has a battery charger for when you want to recharge it. :)
