Garm's Prius C project - Toyota Yaris Forums

cali yaris · 11-01-2013, 02:01 PM

Thought you'd like to see our progress on the Prius C / Aqua

Visible from the front is the Toyota "Sporty v2" lip kit, Toyota front bumper garnish, stainless grill trim strips, smoked headlight covers, foglight kit

Ganador Pasion exhaust added. Imported from Japan, turns out the flange is not quite the same, so we had to chop off the stock flange and weld it on instead. Little bit of a hassle, but this exhaust looks great, and is nice and quiet.

Love the exhaust!

Very nice. I saw a Prius C in that color (Habanero Orange, IIRC) displayed on the promenade (not in the parking lot) at the St Johns Town Center shopping center in Jacksonville FL in April of 2012. Something was missing (I couldn't quite put my finger on it). It was those smoked lenses!...look phenomenal combined with that paint color on that model. Also like the lip kit. Reminiscent of the great looking pics members have posted of the European market Yaris Hybrid.

Those new Toyota front cues are growing on me. Excellent additions too. Are you thinking of throwing a wing up there? I think it would go very well with those lines.

Here's my 20 second attempt:

What a beautiful exhaust!

cali yaris · 11-02-2013, 06:31 PM

I do have one more with polished tips and it should fit the Yaris just fine. Pretty sure it will require swapping the stock flange onto it though.

tk, I already have the "touring spoiler"option installed. I'll post a pic of that, it's a slightly extended version of the stock spoiler.

Toyota knew that they needed to improve their styling of the Prius line or else they would lose market share with the other manufacturers presenting so many other options which folks find less bland.

I like what MI is doing with their C.

How have I missed this thread? Looks amazing.

WeeYari · 01-06-2014, 04:28 PM

^ does it rival anything at SEMA. The way it's progressing, looks like it should.

Thirty-Nine · 01-06-2014, 04:57 PM

It would've caught my eye at SEMA!
