Got a couple of items to install: Electrochromic rear-view mirror and Fiamm
horns. The cold is keeping from tinkering with the car.

why cant you put that stuff on already? also, why do you have springs and coil-overs? (that's the only thing i'd say you shouldn't put on yet..)

2. because its cold and i don't have a garage i have springs and coilovers because i bought the springs last spring and promised my wife i wouldnt put them on the yaris till i redid the bathroom. the bathroom didnt get done till late october, lol. i recently got a good deal on some used coilovers and im likely going to use those instead of just springs.....but i MAY use the eibach springs w/ the coilover shocks/struts.....not sure yet. prokits are bnib, so i may just sell 'em

Well, if you like them enough, you can send them for refinishing or painting.

Got the Fiamm el grande horns installed today. Also did the K&N drop-in filter.
Love the horn and slight improvement in throttle response with the K&N filter. Right now, the Electrochromic rear-view mirror is the only item left for installation.

Got some small mods waiting to install, not necessarily have to wait till spring cuz most of them are interior mods:
LED for map/dome light LED parking light LED licence plate light window visor perhaps PIAA H11 Yellow bulb for fog lights |
