Nice!!!

My wheels are meh... they're 15X5.5 from a Mini Cooper, yours are better than mine.
I was hoping to see yours lowered a bit more, to where there's little to no gap between the fenders and tires.
My front bumper lip is only 4 inches off the ground, I'd have to lower my car an inch more to achieve that look.

I think the mini cooper wheels are pretty cool too. Idk i like the whole upgrading your car using some trick parts from other cars that work well.

And thanks bro as usual trawling marketplace and found them, Im a sucker for deep dish and ROH have street cred here multiple people have commented on the cool old school wheels, they are usually on old rear wheel drive corollas ahaha.

The tire gap man when I looked at how low my gas tank is to the ground, and all the speed bumps around here plus what the bumps and sometimes pit holes are like on the country roads where I go for holidays to see my family up north makes me think I will need the clearance, i scrapped with the trd set up going up there.

Its about 25mm lower than the trd set up was tho, I still have about 12cm clearance

I would like to fully lower it for beauty pics at a show etc tho.

I completely understand. Please post pics when you lower it more for aesthetic look.

Need to paint the wheels and the roof and things first.

I have got the start of the dreaded peeling roof, no garage and the New Zealand sun really wrecks cars with thin clear coat so I plan to go gunmetal greay on the front thats already silver and then the roof and wing. Been playing with the design and might even mimic the 2022 yaris with the red and black two tone.

I just wrapped mine with carbon fiber pattern vinyl, roof, hood, and side mirrors. Let's see how long they'll last.

I thought I've posted them before, maybe not... These are pics of the old wrap, but the new one looks exactly the same, apparently the old vinyl I used was for internal use only, which only lasted 9 months before the clear coat on them started to oxidize. The new one is supposedly for external and claims good for 4-6 years:
