does anyone know the Official name and number for the Red Yaris Liftback??

Im from aust and we call it Cherry Red i dont know the number. Though doesnt the U.S call it Absolutely Red or sumfin. If anyone knows it will greatly help me finishing up the order form. And the number for the colour. THANKS!!

Look at your driver's door pillar for a sticker. There is an abreviation for color/trim with a couple of codes there. That's what they need.

I wouldn't assume that you guys get the same red as we do.

eTiMaGo · 10-06-2006, 08:22 AM

Well, ordered mine, should be here in a couple of weeks

hasher22 · 10-06-2006, 09:43 AM

Found it....colour code for Cherry Red in australia is 3P0

is that the same code for Absolute Red Etimago?? im 70% sure that Absolute and Cherry red is the same colour.

eTiMaGo · 10-06-2006, 09:47 AM

mine's 3P0 as well, pretty cool, I have a star wars car

And to be exact, they call it Alpha Red over here...

hasher22 · 10-06-2006, 09:51 AM

Ohhh ur in bangcock, didnt see ur location thaught ur in da U.S......

seriously why cant the world name the yaris liftback red one simple colour, like Alpha Cherry Absolute red......gives everyone a headache.....

anyway thanks etimago! now i can order them when i have money lol.....

BTW go paint ur headlights already....!!!

eTiMaGo · 10-06-2006, 10:06 AM

why can't the whole world agree on one name either? Yaris here, Vitz there... :p

headlight painting's in the to-do list. But... very few kitches here are actualy equipped with conventional ovens! It's just not part of the local cooking customs, and I doubt a microwave would do?

Seriously, I think it just means I have to find a heatgun, right?

hasher22 · 10-06-2006, 10:23 AM

Well a heat gun is good....oven is way better....u dont have an oven at home?? the headlight just needs to be really warm so u can seperate it.

eTiMaGo · 10-06-2006, 11:39 AM

nope, no oven... people just don't bake stuff here, funnily enough!

You can still buy them and some fancier houses have them, but it's not common. Or I could drive 800km to my mom's place and use hers

Jfoofoo · 10-14-2006, 12:02 PM

So how many people actually purchased these fins? I finally purchased 2. One for my Yaris and one for the Prius. Can't wait to get them installed.

envoy · 10-27-2006, 08:26 PM

Does the antenna base twist off or do I have to do something special? I see the wire twists out quite easy but the base I am having problems with...

Jfoofoo · 10-27-2006, 08:31 PM

Violin, what size are those rims? Your ride looks SWEET!

No! Don't twist the base. It stays in place. The shark fin is mostly hollow. It comes with a couple of different sized screws, the smaller on of which fits into where you unscrewed the whip antenna. That secures a little curly wire that attaches to the antenna grid inside the shark fin. The hardest part about the installation is getting the positioning right before you attach it to your roof (with 3M tape).

Only 600km from Bangkok to here, and we have two houses, both with ovens

We could have a Yarii headlight painting party! Of course we'd do yours first JIC something goes wrong

hasher22 · 10-14-2006, 12:07 PM

alot by the looks of it, im ordering one when i have money HA

Violin · 10-23-2006, 02:14 PM

Mine came today.

The paint match looks pretty good.

It's too cold here or I would install it now. I need to get my baby home and warmed up.

A little heat (hair dryer or Heat gun) to warm the spot is going on, and the backside of the fins tape, will help it "seal" that much better.
