My Micro Image shopping spree - Toyota Yaris Forums

Brian · 02-21-2009, 02:13 PM

Picked a couple of parts from Micro Image yesterday. Trd V4 lip kit,
Tanabe NF210 springs, rear disc brake conversion, and SSR Type
C 16x7 +42 bronze wheels with center caps. Going today
to get some price quotes for the paint and install of the lip kit. Thanks
again to Garm for providing great products and service. Also got my lug
nuts today and on the way are my tires, HID kit and Lexus IS-F shift knob

LOL. I hate being broke! But yeah, can't wait to see the kit on. I was suppose to get that front lip!

ChinoCharles · 02-21-2009, 02:27 PM

Something tells me you'll be shaking the money tree pending some pics.

Brian, you'll have one of the nicer sedans around when all is said and done. Uber rare kit, super sexy wheels, rear discs... yeah. Awesome.

Only thing I would have done differently is went with the DF's over the NF's. Go low or go home.

I got a quote from 1 shop and it'll be 900 and take a week to a week and a half. Still looking around though.

BLAZINBLUEVITZ · 02-21-2009, 02:30 PM

is the rear disc kit the same as the liftback for 900 bucks?

I learned my lesson from having the Vios spoiler and mesh grill painted at a shop. When I get this lip (or if Garm gets the Aeroklas kit), I'm painting it myself all for just 50 bucks, oppose to paying near $200. That 50 bucks should include primer, 1EO paint matched paint, and clear coat. The only thing I gotta worry about is not sanding it down properly.

I may be earning 80% of that of a nurse this summer, so I'll be working my @$$ and get some dough. First things I'm going for are probably the rear sway bar and a lip kit.

The NF's are only temporary. I wanna see how the drop looks with the wheels and lip kit then I'll make my decision
if I wanna change to the DF's or coilovers.

I was gonna paint it myself but I don't have the time or space to do it. So I'm just
gonna get it painted and installed with a warranty. I still have my
grille to paint too which I can do myself.

Pitt Yaris · 02-21-2009, 02:45 PM

johnnypaseo · 02-21-2009, 03:31 PM

hehehe, yeah, space can be an issue, and time surely is. I don't have the time (or the money for a kit) right now, but I have my housemate's garage for space (he painted his 240 and his friend's Tacoma) in it.
