Yea sorry guys just phone pics at my boys garage and then photobucket messes up the quality. Need to adjust the settings I guess.
Hey 12yaris, we have been looking for someone to make a sedan eyelid you think you might want to undertake a project like that? |

Guys and Gals,
This really quite simple.I have seen eyelids for the sedans,I believe they do not cover the top of the head-light surround the way I would like them too. Anyone who has read my posts should know I have messing with cars for 35 years,paint work,restoration,cosmetic modifications,etc. A good portion of todays cosmetic mods are simple peel and stick if you will, another persons idea... I strive( and always did)to come up with my own ideas,(you would be surprised what you can do with lead filling,plastic body filling etc)... I admire George Barris,among others for their visions of customized vehicles. What I did with my head-lights and tail-lights you can do also.In order to do this you first need the attitude,Do I want my car to look like anybody else's? This is what I did,I purchased pin-strip tape and made my own designs on the headlights,then I masked off areas that I did not want painted,then I simply painted the lights,peeled off the tape to see if I liked the results. If I didn't fine I removed the paint with laquer thinner. When I finally found what I wanted I sanded the headlight with 1500 paper so the paint would adhere used pin-stripe tape for the design,masked,cleaned the area to be painted and painted the base color then cleared. Then I thought about the tail-lights,they sure look hideous on the 12's I saw that some were available for 500-600 bucks.I choose not to spend a nice chunk of change on something that someone else might purchased,so I did the same thing for my tail-lights and saved about 450-550 bucks... So far this is the only blue-lagoon mica Yaris I have seen... I really do not want to capitalize on this,I would like to see people come up with your own ideas. Dare to be different,use your imagination... |

^ It's better to post the type of wheels you really have. That's what this thread is about.

Finally got a chance to take some pictures today. Here's mine with CSA Velocity 17x7.5 ET42 with 205/40-17. I'm riding on M2 springs/tokico blues, lowered about 1.5". Very minor rub on hard corners and big improvement in handling over the 185/60-15s.
