I thought I'd dress it up a bit, since it's a present for my brother, his first car, and he's been pulling insanely good grades at school. I've been more of a hp junkie, so this is actually the first time I've done up a car looks only. Hell of a lot cheaper than building a motor from scratch haha.

I'm a hp, solo2, trackday junkie and instructor. Our local track has 2 long straight, front straight 1/2 mile, and 1/4 mile back straight, so it favors high HP cars. So I don't think the Yaris is a good choice for power mods since I need at least 350hp to keep me happy. Plus I'm a RWD guy, but I am going to try and run a few Solo2 events in the Yaris though to see how I do, where HP isn't as big of an issue. Haven't competed in a FWD car for over 10 years hehe.

Yea, it's an option here in Canada. Here's the full list of options with CDN$ prices.

If it's not available to you, you can paypal me and I can pick it and ship it to you or something, I don't mind. Comes with full installation instructions.

Actually I have a much simpler solution that I tested. I posted in the cosmetic mods section.

That will give you DRL, low beam, high beams, and fogs.

Thanks everyone for their comments, and ya I'll post updates as they come along. It'll be a busy 2 weeks for the Yaris!
