airbag will it be affected
i plan to get the speed seats
thanks

The way they're installed in my car is with Wedge engineering bracket , then the recaro sliders bolted to the floor bracket , and then the recaro side mount brackets are bolted to the slider.
My seatbelt sensors are on cause I'm using Takata harness's , but with stock seatbelts the light shouldn't go on . As for the airbag lights they will both be on .

I hate myself too

. I need to get them powder coated gold and get racinghart center caps for them so they will no longer look like off the shelf "trd" rims but like custom gold racinghart gt5's .

Why not just make them black to match the paint? That way you get a stealth black look overall. Or if you don't want it all black, maybe you can also powdercoat the lips and the groove on each spoke gold

BTW, what kinda gas mileage you getting with those?

I think the JDM grill painted body color would be a nice upgrade. Other then that I dig your car, props.

At least -3 mpgs

but the look of an 18" rim on the yaris + handling gained with wider,stiff walled tires is worth the loss in mpgs imo .
