Blowing some money on my Yaris - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

If I were you I'd grab a body kit and get it installed and painted professionally any color you like. That should suck up that bankroll pretty quickly.

This is somewhat in response to the fact that I'm a combat decorated veteran and my car seems to scream in the face of this. Most of my peers get big powerful cars and trucks, and they make fun of me for my car. I embrace it, because my car is perfect for me and my daughter and I'm not paying at the pumps. So this is somewhat my response to the jokes that I have a 'bitch' car.

Mr. Cali Yaris, whereabouts are you? When I get my bonus I will actually be in North Carolina, but I'd love to know what I can order through you. I appreciate all of your quick responses and helpful ideas.

You obviously didn't see what he is interested in for his car. Show, no go.

My bad, guys. I must sound like such a tool. Oh well. I have a little girl who is usually with me and I'm not interesting in the car going fast or sounding cool. But I'm all about it being... different.

it's all good. everyone has their own choice.

u said you weren't too familar with these stuff, but to be honest(my opinion)
the stuff you wanted are "out" and the mods most of us want for you to have are "in"

no harsh feelin's by the days of 10 inch diameter exhaust tips, and super mega wings are done!(i still see it though, we just don't want you to fall into the same trap)

PETERPOOP · 01-28-2009, 06:43 PM

But then he'll be like all the senior citizens and soccer moms whos vans are out for repair.

Nah man, you don't sound like a tool. But if you go with a body kit you need to get it fitted and painted to match. Like stated before, talk to "Cali_Yaris" about bodykits. He has a whole bunch! He can get you anything you need.

YarisMarine · 01-28-2009, 06:46 PM

LOL. I see ALOT of Yaris' where I live, and I'd like my Yaris to be different.

Already I have a good idea how much I should expect to pay for tinting because of this website. I know nothing about how much new paintjob would cost, and I'm curious how expensive adding foglights would be.

But I think my first step is figuring out how to add a sound system. I am setting aside $500-650 for this.

i think investing in a hot sound system is worth it. i am not too good with sound stuff but like other poster said, a complete nice sound system, amp, speakers, etc. etc. will cost more than that.

but a nice sound system, cup it with a dvd player, etc, would be hot

i once had a 2,000 entertainment 'system' in my dodge intrepid

YarisMarine · 01-28-2009, 06:50 PM

i know it won't do much. but it'll net me something a little louder than what I have now.

marlondog · 01-28-2009, 07:04 PM

You got to get an E.G.A on the hood, and a sticker of "The Gunny" on the hatch. Your car will be so "motivated". You can also use some of that Bulldog Cologne to make it smell good. Semper Fi, and carry on!

YarisMarine · 01-28-2009, 07:11 PM

Dear God no... I have two bumper stickers. One of is the US MARINES RETIRED bumper sticker... but I cut it up so it says

TIRED
US MARINE

I'm not moto at all. I spent 4 years as an 0311 and am just riding out the time until I can join the 2nd Civ Div.

And good to know Yawesh.
