lol i done the two tone thing. i had my friend install two new fenders and front bumper after my first accident. it was a like a year later when a car stopped short and i rear ended her keyword "HER" lol. so the insurance got me a new bumber and had the body shop work on it. my fenders are still black since they werent touched in the accident. Here is a pic i just took when i was in PA. notice the bumber is painted. it was fixed again after another accident that was taken cared by the insurance and body shop.

I am currently shopping for an HVLP painting system and once I pick one up, I'll reshoot the bumper and hood (and probably replace the hood again, since they are only $65 for a new primed one).

Oh, and she has 38K miles on her original Goodyear Eagle LS tires, so today I ordered a new set of Hankook Ventus V2 Concept H437 tires on a set of Drag DR41 white wheels from my favorite wheel and tire guy at fourby100.com

I have a buddy who was an auto body guy in his past life and he said that he'll teach me how to use it (I think he really just wants to use it on his 69 Firebird that he is restoring).

Ebay Power Mirrors arrived today.
This has to be one of the simplest upgrades to do. All of the wiring is in place on non-power Yaris, so you simply swap the mirrors, pop the switch into the dash and plug the connector (that is taped to the top of the under-dash fuse box) into it. Turn the ignition switch on and watch them move. The mirrors were $31 each shipped and are new aftermarket ones. The power mirror switch I picked up off Ebay for $24. Unboxing the new ones: Swapping the existing red covers onto the new ones (they come with unpainted black ones): New mirror on and plugging connector into the existing wiring: Switch installed and mirrors operational:

I really don't care much for the power mirrors (though I do have them in my RS Yaris). I am much more of a fan of the power windows and the power locks (as I pretty much use one or the other on a regular basis).
The power mirrors are for me pretty much a set it and forget it kind of deal. Unless I go to the car wash ... in which case I always seem to have to readjust them. But I am looking forward to this thread in the future as I am just amazed at what you have done to that car. |

I am going to use the white painted steelies as my Winter wheels (and will wrap them in a set of rally racing snow tires), but the Eagle LS tires will be coming off.

You sure are doing a ton of work on Crashy 2. Since you want to make Crashy 2 a off road car you should spray the underside to avoid rusting.

Exactly. I did my daily driven 09 with Herculiner this past Winter and it worked great as both an undercoating and sound reducer, so I will definitely be doing this one as well.
