You can use any carbon hood from a regular US spec Yaris. I have a US Seibon CF hood and it fits perfectly.

Same thing for lowering springs. You can use the H&R's or the Teins for the US Yaris. Both will fit.

CAI and underdrive pulley you can use from the scion xD

I just installed Tanabe's on mine and they DID lower the car a bit more... about 3/4" front and 1" rear (from FACTORY TS springs which are a bit lower than stock Yaris)

He used the Tanabe NF's from his previous Yaris.


Tanabe has 2 models for the Yaris NF's 9 about 1" drop and the DF's about 2" drop.

Been in Europe I would guess your best bet are the H&R's. Those are also about 1 inch drop. You can probably get them locally. Tanabes are around $200 in the US.
