Painting my Yaris...
So I'm thinking of painting or matching the silver color on the places were the arrows are at by the windshield wipers and the base were the side mirrors are at and the fog lights base.
What do you guys think of painting the area below the front emblem gloss black and I'm doing a grill on the bottom painted black. On the back I'm smoking the tail lights and all of the chrome will be painted black - what do you guys think?? Also I'm getting the light markers on the side mirrors - I'm actually making my own so I'll post a picture once I'm done with them.. |

I would match the fog lights FOR SURE. Here's how painting them turned out on mine:

It just screws in!
BUT... I had about an inch cut off the threaded end (machine shop friend did it), I thought it stuck out too much when I first tried it. It's amazing what kind of little crap like this keeps me up at night... sheesh

I think the wiper cowl will look cheap if you try to paint it. I vote yes to everything else.

yep that's it!
I've asked that guy about a large order, hopefully I can get a better price for us and batch the shipping for a bunch of them. You'll notice the shipping on that auction is more than the item! My stainless manufacturer receives the sample I sent to him today, so things are progressing.
