p.s. even 17" will scratch the inside wall if you turn the steeling all the way to left (but won't scratch if I turn all the way to right side, don't know why)

Probably because the left side suspension is damped more with you sitting in the drivers seat. Try it with a passenger it will probably rub the right as well...

Look at the boomplus toys link that is spread throughout the forum, they are selling the Vitz badges for about $27 each.

Shadow Tinting in calgary quoted me $278 for all my windows, except the from one. Thats 2 front doors, 2 back doors, and the back window. 50% for the front, and 20% for the 3 back windows. And this is the high grade stuff, garaunteed not to turn purple.

that is a really good deal, do they do 3M as well????

they do 3M as hell, i had mine installed at the dealership. this is the website for shadow tinting, http://www.shadowtinting.com/ if you call them, ask for Garth Prosser, tell him that u talked to him at the auto show, and they will give you a discount. i'm getting 15% off, for being a auto show customer.
hope that helps.

No offense, but I personally prefer the original RS spoiler.

excuse the ignorance here, but is there any reason beyond aesthetics to having a spoiler on a yaris?

it obviously won't do the job that a spoiler does on an F1 car, but does it help or hinder aerodynamics at all?

Odds are you don't actually want it to do anything.

I do know,however, that my FWD Saab has a spoiler that reduces lift but supposedly does not add downforce.

Adding downforce to the rear of a FWD vehicle doesn't seem like a good idea to me. Reducing lift is a good thing though.

It does help keep the rear window a little cleaner as well as reduce the lift as why? said. That's what I've seen on other cars anyway. Honestly it's mostly for looks.

i suppose the downforce would be best for a rear-wheel drive vehicle?

but i gather that is mostly for aesthetics then.

swng · 03-29-2006, 07:38 PM

Seriously designed spoilers can also reduce drag(as those on the wing tips of the big jets?). But for the Yaris, I agree with you gentlemen. It is probably all for the look

I live in Florida but would really like the rally spoiler for my yaris, how do I go about getting it? Dealer, online, individual?

bladesmith6 · 03-05-2014, 07:35 PM

I would as well. Unfortunately my current spoiler cracked in this severe winter weather so I need a replacement. TRD sparks told me the rally is discontinued but someone must have deadstock. Any Canadians that can help?

bladesmith6 · 03-07-2014, 10:09 PM

cmon people someone must have an idea if there are at least a few around..
