BUT I've never messed with Yaris' so I wanted to get some info.
1. Are there other OEM seats that bolt into place of the factory Yaris ones? (IE from a corolla or something)

2.Has anyone put in one of the Joying headunits? And if so, did it suck?

3.What's the max tire size you can do without rubbing on anything? I was thinking of going to 15x7 or 15x8

4.Has anyone installed the magnaflow full exhaust system?

5.Do some of the cars come with cruise control and if so does it need anything other than the cruise control steering wheel to add that option to the car? (GMs do this which is why I ask)

Here's the car in case you care to see it haha

My 2 cents? Do to your car whatever makes you happy.

Life's short.

1. I think at some point I read about some other cars' seats fitting into the Yaris without modification, but I'm not 100% sure. I wasn't happy with the foam, dough boy seats that came in the car either, so I went with the sparco R100 seats. About as cheap as a proper bucket seat is going to get and they look fantastic, imo. My sponsor sells them, so I can get a discount on their listed price.

2. Never heard of Joying head units.

3. Depending on offset, you can go up to about a 17" wheel with no rubbing, if on factory suspension. Offset and lowering changes things.

4. Don't know anyone that has installed MF exhaust on these cars. Most go with Tanabe. Like the sparco bucket seats, my sponsor sells MF exhaust for the Yaris and I can get a discount on their listed price.

5. Lots of cruise control posts/info. As others have mentioned, you'll find searching the forum to be very useful.
