My new Black Yaris HB - Toyota Yaris Forums

Picked this car up last week. I bought it strictly as a weekend play/runaround car. Mods so far are TRD springs, struts, exhaust, 18" wheels with the zero nero tires and mud guards. I have also had the windows tinted. I plan on adding the TRD rear sway bar, CAI, and front strut brace and the NST lightweight pulley in a couple of weeks. I would like a little better braking and a bit more power. I was thinking of some better rotors and pads with some steel braided lines may help the braking dept. a little bit. Let me know if you guys have any suggestions. I also plan on adding an in dash DVD/NAV system and reupholstering the interior at some point this summer. Something to match the car a little better, thinking black and gray. I bought an automatic because its all they had at the dealership but I just shift the hell out of manually anyway and it's a blast! I mostly drive the canyons here in Utah so it's tight and twisty. This car is such a blast. Here are a couple of pics and let me know if you guys have some ideas on brakes and the best place to get the stuff.

how much you finance it for?

ekripper · 06-30-2007, 05:09 PM

I just financed the car and paid for all the TRD stuff out of pocket. Didn't want to pay interest on that already overpriced stuff! I paid around 13k for the car with the all weather and power package.

I bought my yaris for 14900 then after taxes and ext warranty which i got a refund coming back to me my loan was 16,666.66. yep I know. I was hit a week later. truck drop rocks on highway and my girl hit a trash can. I am about to file a claim and get everything fixed but yeh I feel i paid too much since i have the basic package sedan. not a fan of the LB though.

BTW. I got 75 off trd stuff from the dealer. I want to get the springs but they want 230 for them. I can get them on line for 180. plus i gotta pay labor :(

Yeah, I had them put all the stuff on before I even took the car off the lot. Had to wait a couple of weeks for everything to come in but it was worth it to go pick it up all ready to go. It was certainly the talk of the dealership. They have sold quite a few LB with a few TRD parts but nobody had done all of it in one shot.

Ohh my God, I love that drop

...and It's so shiny black Yaris

Congratulations!!! You make me decide what springs I should buy, I'am on 18's too.
