Grade my car - Toyota Yaris Forums

Tell me what you think, it was just washed and waxed!

41magmag41 · 04-10-2009, 07:04 PM

on a 1 to 10 scale, a 8.5. This is about the best we can do with the type of paint and paint job we get on this econo car. Only way to get a 10 is to have it painted at a good shop and put out tons of money. She looks good.

Treat your tire's sidewalls and I'll give you a 9

Looking very nice , but grades mean nothing , as it's your car .
As long as you are Happy with it that is all that matters

Doesn't matter what we think as long as you like it. Btw, it does look good. Are you planning on lowering it?

I'd like to, but how far can you go without scraping? I looked at the DIYs, and the front looks like such a pain I'd probably end up doing the TRD kit and having the dealer install it.

Have you done it on yours?

A washed and waxed Y always looks good, but what do YOU think of it?

Tonavi · 04-10-2009, 09:57 PM

I like it cosmetically, but the ultimate Yaris would be one with a secret AWD system and some forced induction...

Yes, I'm lowered on Tein S.Techs. Almost 2 inches of a drop. Probably too low for your needs. hehe. Yeah, TRD or Eibach should do you nicely.

That's about $200, right? This is for the springs only, not coilovers?

I'd do it myself but that front half looks like a big job...

I'd imagine your highway FE would go up though because of the reduced aero drag, has this been the case for you?

Looks good.

BLAZINBLUEVITZ · 04-10-2009, 11:29 PM

ALWAYS gotta keep them tires wet.....

9.999999, I saw a speck of dust on the passenger door.

Some tire shine will turn it into a beauty, good job waxing your car.

Mead · 04-11-2009, 12:44 AM

What kind of hitch you got? and did it clear your exhaust? it looks like an aftermarket exhaust or did you just do the tip?

I want a hitch but it prolly won't clear my Medallon Touring.

The hitch I got was from "Hitch-It" and it's discreet enough where I don't think you'll have a problem unless you have a center exhaust. I plan to do a custom center exhaust that goes around it. So far, I just have a tip.

what happened to the front bumper?
