My new tails - Toyota Yaris Forums

smofskra · 06-23-2009, 10:14 PM

Thanks Brian for the awesome deal and fast shipping! I am having the chrome trunk piece and the T logo re painted professionally in Flint Mica either this week or next. The harsh winter conditions in Wisconsin killed my attempt so I'm getting it done right this time.

Pic 1, Everything off
Pic 2, Headlights on
Pic 3, Headlights on and hazards on (got the pic on the first try too)
Pic 4, Headlights on and Reverse lights
Pic 5, Headlights off and break lights on
Pic 6, Headlights on and break lights on

Looks good. Color matches nicely.

Pitt Yaris · 06-23-2009, 10:23 PM

Lights look good. I prefer the pieces to be chrome on the flint mica though.

To each his (or her) own. I myself am not a fan of chrome. Slowly but surely, all the chrome on my car will be gone.

And just remember, "Chrome won't get you home!"

Brian · 06-23-2009, 10:29 PM

I agree. I don't care for the chrome either.

smofskra · 06-24-2009, 12:35 AM

These things are really bright! I'm going to go take some pics so you can see how they look at night.

smofskra · 06-24-2009, 12:54 AM

As promised, here are the night shots. Enjoy! These are with the break lights on. It seems the pics I took with just the headlights on turned out like shit so i just left them out

Malaya1221 · 06-24-2009, 12:57 AM

imo, looks better than chrome!

smofskra · 06-24-2009, 01:04 AM

From what I have gathered, these are the ONLY set of black altezza's in the United States. If I am wrong, someone please let me know.

cali yaris · 06-24-2009, 01:14 AM

I think you are correct, though we have a few sets left for sale, none of them have been customized like what Brian did.

All of them have been shipped out of country anyway, I believe, except for the ones Brian purchased.

smofskra · 06-24-2009, 01:22 AM

So what your saying Garm is I have the only set of altezza's installed in the states so far? Thats f***kin awesome as all hell.

Brian · 06-24-2009, 01:27 AM

I was going for black chrome but it was my first time using that paint and
I spayed the black chrome on a little too heavily. When the sun hits it the
appearance of black chrome is more obvious but other than that its kind of
a gunmetal shade. I'm glad you're enjoying your new taillights.

smofskra · 06-24-2009, 01:34 AM

Thank you yet again Brian. I am loving these things. Too bad I can't see them when I'm driving, or maybe that's a good thing!

PETERPOOP · 06-24-2009, 01:34 AM
