I honestly cant decide between 15s or 16s. I recently got new tires for a 15inch rim and I really want new wheels now. Right now, it would be cheaper for me to get 15s and just transfer the tires over instead of having to buy new tires as well.

Maybe sell the tires and go with 16s :D Haha! Up to you man. I've seen 15s that look good. Aggressive with meaty tires.

So today, I put the muffler back on, took out the spare tire (that 15'' thing weighed like 25-30 lbs!) And I also tried to level the rear with the front (if anything a tiny bit higher so I can accommodate more passengers). Sometimes I felt like the rear sunk a bit lower, but now I feel much happier with it :)

Thanks a lot bro, one thing tho is that I'm definitely over the BBS mesh look.. Haha. Next wheels will be wider and 5 spoke probably!! That's not for a while though. Gona enjoy the car :) Just purchased a drop in intake filter, and i'll just stack until I find a good exhaust. I want an axleback, but I might need to do custom so I can ask for clearance since she's sitting pretty low.

I'm running a 2" muffler delete/straight pipe on mine and I love it. Not too loud, doesn't drone at speed.

Really? So all you did was weld a pipe in place of the axle back correct? Sorry im kind of a noob when it comes to exhausts lol. Mind sending a video when you get the chance? :D i'm sure i wont have any clearance issues if I go that route.

Well, more like welded a few scraps of 2" pipe I had laying around the shop. I like the sound, compared to my Nitto (which is my fav exhaust for the Yaris but it would melt my RR bag), this pipe is louder but deeper. I'll grab a video for you when I get a couple extra minutes.

From where did you weld it though? And sweet thanks man!

I got a K&N drop in, but was disappointed to see the built in mesh on the filter box, which I couldn't help but feel must reduce airflow regardless of filter used.

Thanks man! And yes, I sadly saw that right now when I installed this.. But, hopefully these help still! Did you notice an improvement in MPG or throttle response?

It starts at the bend right above the axle. I have nothing going on today so I should be able to get a video, and snap some pics so you can see what it looks like.

And on the wheel front, I feel ya. I think mesh looks good, but for a "stance" look I think larger full face wheels look better. I think it's because the Yaris is so tall for a compact car, and cars with more surface area seem to look better with full face wheels.

I want to say the throttle response felt better after dropping in the K&N, but I haven't noticed significant change in mpg.

New toy: UPGR8 High Flow drop in air filter. Read some good reviews about it online, and got it for an amazing price :) So, figured I'd give it a shot. Will be installing it tomorrow! I'll let you guys know how it is!

Put a 5mm spacer in the driver side rear to try and even out the offset in the rear cause of our dumb crooked torsion beam. In this picture it looks like the left side pokes more, but it's probably cause of the angle. In person it looks more even :) I need an exhaust already.. By the way if anyone is going to Wekfest this Sunday, July 12th I will be there! Hit me up :D

Noticed a white Yaris parked next to me at work. I guess here's a stock vs. not picture too lol. I just like this picture, even though this is BEFORE the 5mm spacer. The two girls just happened to walk by when I took it, and no, sadly the car didn't break their necks.. OH WELL. Lol.

Give the ladies a ride in your car and they're sure to break necks.
Baby will probably throw up breakfast all over your back seat first.

LMFAO. So true Sugi. I've get to adjust my front dampening too.
