Captain Slow · 12-03-2011, 04:26 PM

I promised pictures, so here they are. Can't wait to get some sporty wheels on her.

Captain Slow · 12-03-2011, 04:28 PM

What I'd like her to look like eventually.

Kens · 12-03-2011, 04:35 PM

Very nice mate. That's a really rare colour.

Betrivent · 12-03-2011, 04:54 PM

In the right lighting it looks like the brownish bronze they use on porches

Captain Slow · 12-03-2011, 05:13 PM

yeah, in person it really comes across as a burnt brown/orange. very strange.

MadMax · 12-03-2011, 06:59 PM

Cheers! M2

If you ever get a chance, you should watch James May's Toy Stories...

By the way, go to Walmart and buy the big exhaust tip they sell for about twelve bucks. It really helps...

Cheers! M2

Hah. One of my early questions was going to be whether or not popular opinion was in favor of the TRD exhaust. If it's too loud/annoying or has any other problems then I'd seriously consider just putting a nice looking tip on it and being done.

I nice looking exhaust dresses up a car, but I've been down the road of loud exhausts and I'm not looking to do that again.

Somebody here was selling an SS exhaust some time ago.. I have the tip and it actually looks pretty good and adds a bit of a thrum to your exhaust. You can't hear it in the car but if you're outside you can hear it.

I'm not into fart cans either, but the Walmart tip adds a little rumble to the stock exhaust. It's not noticeable inside the car, and it definitely improves the look!

I have a Carmine Red 2010 Yaris also. I've found it's a changeable color. On cloudy days, it looks maroon and extra shiny. On sunny days, it looks rust/brown with speckles of gold in it. I think when it gets old and starts to rust, the rust won't show much, it will blend right in.

Captain Slow · 12-05-2011, 11:04 AM

i find the color looks best at night. it looks like a burnt orange/brown. sorta like the original 350Z only much darker.

Captain Slow · 12-05-2011, 11:04 AM

maybe I can do some long exposure shots and get some night images of the color, hmmm

Hershey · 12-05-2011, 11:48 AM

Very sharp lookin' !

Captain Slow · 12-05-2011, 06:48 PM

16" Sparco Assetto Gara in bronze

Hershey · 12-06-2011, 12:28 AM
