My Grand Plan - Toyota Yaris Forums

Hello All!

I've got a wonderful '08 3dr Hatchback Manual Transmission basic model Yaris that I love. I've done a few mods here and there, all from this great forum. I've got the bug. And boy is it a bad infection.

Here's my plan.

Repaint the exterior of the car with the colors from the original Nintendo console. Nothing flashy. The kind of paint scheme that will make a person that sees it think "why am I thinking of a Nintendo?". The inside, however, will be a bit more detailed. Here's the list:

1. Push button start using the power button from the console
2. LCD screen with an emulator with all NES games on it
3. Change the Shifter to something more NES themed
4. Change the hand brake handle to NES theme
5. Change all interior lights to Red LED's
6. Paint interior to compliment/match exterior

I'm sure more ideas will come, and if any of you have any I'd love to hear them. This is a grand undertaking and I'm still in the planning stages. A major hang up at this moment is finding the right color grey for the majority of the exterior.

Chuckles only has 114k miles right now and I plan on blowing past 500k. Since I'm planning on having this car for so long I want to make it as much mine as possible. Any tips or tricks you all might have for any of the mods I'm planning please please please share!

As I do these mods I will, of course, post many many pics.
