Excuse me Mr.Yaris,I dont think the look of the kit is ricey at all,but if your saying you would first cahnge the body before doing real performance upgrades,AKA = any other muffler,you know how restrained the stock version is.So if you want the looks with no real bennifits,like a 3 foot high wing on a Yaris,or Honda Civic,then first change the body and be called a ricer,PERIOD.

Once again, that's you're opinion, NOT fact. And if you consider a muffler a significant "performance upgrade", then you sir need to cash a reality check. First off, I intend to add performance upgrades- pulleys, CAI, etc...basically parts that help improve performance without sacrificing gas mileage, but to be honest, anything that makes a car sound like a nest of angry bees stuck in the exhaust is retarded, PERIOD.

You know, I'm all about performance automotive vehicles, which is why I find your choice of the Yaris as a "performance vehicle" laughable. The car was designed for economy, not horsepower. My wife and I bought two Yaris S-Type sedans because we were both looking for daily drivers. We already have our performance vehicles...

The wife's:


Mine:


Those are REAL PERFORMANCE VEHICLES. Also, if you wanna talk about REAL performance mods, exhaust mods are piddly crap in comparison to mods like heads (or head, in the Yaris' case), injectors, cam...REAL PERFORMANCE PARTS. Adding a bodykit alone doesn't make a car "rice". You can buy cars with bodykits from the dealership, is that "rice" then? Anything you do to help you pretend your car is fast when it's not is "rice". A bodykit ISN'T RICE. Now, if you add underglow lights and a "park bench" spoiler with a fart cannon exhaust system...THAT is "rice". But hey, that's just MY opinion. And you know what they say, opinions are like a$$holes...
