07 yaris : white egg build thread

[sarap]

some new stuff :

i also own an accord wagon, that i recently finished my audio set up on, but i decided the yaris deserved the double din and 10 inch sub instead so :



then i decided while we had the car apart and were doing the audio that i would scrap the stock front 6.5's because of how bad they were rattling at barely half volume.




i went with massive audio 6.5's for 60 bucks. no regrets ! im super satisfied i must say.

after i left the shop i went and purchased duplicolor white rattle paint to do my spoiler.
i have a painter here who offered to do it for 80, (not bad) but i want my coils and wheels more haha so i did it my damn self ! lol scotch brite, spray, dry, 600 wet, dry wait, spray 1000 grit, wait 1500 grit etc. lol came out super smooth however i didnt clear coat it -__- :


im going to take it off this weekend, and get a glossier white like i was told to and redo the process. still cheaper considering i paid about 11 bucks for materials.
it looks vinyl wrapped lol like matte white :



i also got around to getting a new antenna ! i used to buy the old school "fuba" antennas and put them on my cars for that "euro look" lol but i felt like it looked goofy on my car so i got this short one for 9.99 at auto zone with adapters and such. its aluminum. i love it haha no more r/c car look for me.
oh and removed all my tint too ! im not a fan of tint haha if you look at the previous cars ive owned. fishbowl for the win !


thats all for now. hopefully ill get my suspension soon !

Loving this thread. And I agree with you, white is a perfect colour for a Yaris.

Totally agree. The black paint on alloy looks so cheap!

They look great now they're repainted

Didn't you also feel the need to put some dampening material inside the doors? And where did you place the sub?

I actually quite like the fact that a Yaris looks like a little R/C toy.

My bad, you might have updated your avi, but there's another profile pic in a diff place that needs to be updated to reflect on your posts. It's kinda lame the way it's in two places, but what can you do, right?

Really? That's cool. I'm all about personal pref, but I myself like a more factory aggressive look (even though the car is actually the furthest thing from aggressive lol).
