Looks good! I had considered that vehicle too but it's just a bit too tiny for me.
I'm loving the carbon fiber too. I think that goes really good with that bright red.

Thank you....and by the way, it's not bright red. Scion calls it "Hot Lava" !!
It's like a dark orange.

Congrats! What have you been getting re MPG? Did the MPG change appreciably with your current wheel/tire setup (or was that included when you bought thee car) ?

It's approximately the same except for 2 things...

The fuel tank is 10 litters smaller than the yaris and my wheels/tires (as you can see they are the same i had on the yaris) are a bit smaller than the original size on the IQ, so i run 4Km/h faster than the real speed.

So those factors will affect the MPG (or KM/L).



I kept the original wheels sold with the IQ for winter driving.

I was totally debating between calling it red and orange.
Hot Lava sounds like the perfect name for that color.
You name it yet? ^_^
