What do you guys think about putting carbonfibre tape over the front bumper so the it looks a bit like the yaris club concept?

Not sure what you mean like the whole bumper? Or just the middle? Better yet you got a pic? :P

Carbon wrap foil is the easiest to apply and easy to corrigate . I have a friend who has some carbon foil laying around so cheap as well :D

Just another question, does anyone know if it's possible to take the lower grill out?
Otherways i'll have to cut it out since wrapping it with carbon foil whithout seeing any red is nearly impossible.

I'll probably leave it out so it's black until the bottom of the bumper.

I'm talking about the things in the bottom opening of the bumper which have the same color as the bumper so not the mesh or so.

Put the summer rims back on and I find it nicer :D
next set of tires will probably be 1 size wider, wide tires look good under it

Finally sold my enduro so now have the money for my seats, does anyone know whether the seat rails Sparco offer ('99-'04 Yaris ) will fit the second gen.

Other question, is the passenger airbag seat controlled?

I'm not sure about the rail would be fit , but you can contact wedge engineering to make a custom bracket for you .

As for the airbag , you need a module to control ... Contact ctscott for that .

Are you sure a controll unit would be needed, was thinking to wire the seat sensor so that it constantly thinks there is someone sitting on the passenger side and the seatbelt is in.
If it's needed at all.

Rims are white now, looks good, I can't wait till summer to put them back on



Today I also went to the Essen Motor Show, which I think is the biggest tuning convention in Europe. I had the opportunity to test-sit a Sparco R100 seat and well, I'm sold :D
Waiting on a good price and more info whether the sliders will fit or if i'll have to make a bracket and take the sliders from my standard seats.
