suckerface's '08 3dr HB "Ænimus" (56k WARNING!!)
Hey everybody! So, I've been lurking on MI and YW for awhile now, but never really took the time to do a proper introduction or presentation of my car. Hopefully this thread will fulfill that purpose!
My girlfriend and I purchased our Yaris used in April '10. It had about 42k miles, and had only minor scratches and a couple small dents. The dealership agreed to have these repaired with the purchase and they did a FANTASTIC job. We haven't gotten anything too fantastic done with it yet, but once tuition is out of the way...well, let's just say I'm excited ::MODS:: Cosmetic: Tint (15% AS1, 30% doors, 20% backseat/hatch), TYC Tail lights, de-badged Engine/Trans: NST Short Shift Kit (Engine Bay), NST Shift Cage Bushings, NST Shift Cable Bushings ICE: JVC KW-AVX800 with custom USB mount Time for the pics! Right before the tint, a few days after purchase. (Pardon the dirt and the temp plates :yuck:) Close up of the driver's door after the second tint attempt Next we did the Head Unit and Tail Lights: Head unit gutted: New Head Unit Installed: Head Unit turned on: Close up: USB Mount: At Night: Tail Lights Before: Gutted: After: At Night: Recently got a chance to use a clay bar and got some shots: You can get a good look at the tails and de-badging in this shot: And lastly, in the wild next to a newer sibling... ...and a tiny BMW... *WHEW* Long post, I know, but thanks for looking! Any feedback would be great as you all have been my source of inspiration and motivation!

A friend helped me with mine, and he's a MECP, so you'd be in good hands.

Looks great! You should get rid of the amber bulbs and get some chrome ones (they light up orange just fine). I put some in my TYC tails and up front, looks really good.
