Looking good, Lisa!

You can probably get the color shift to pop in a photo if you can get someone outside the photo to hold a whiteboard or white poster board up to reflect some sunlight onto the rims from the side. That way you get more than one direction of light on them.

I like them because I don't see anything else around here that looks even close. As it is, I get people who OWN Yarii asking me what kind of car mine is. :o) Nobody else is modding their around here but there are LOTS of them.

Yeah, I see lots of Yarii around here too, none modded. I haven't even seen Herb's and he works less than a mile from where I live!

15's...with stock tires. I'll get lower profile tires next spring before I have them put back on for the summer.

WOW, 90 in Wisconsin today. Only suppose to be 78 here. Gonna be cooler all week though, no more than mid 80's and chance of rain pretty much every day.

Oh, mornin' all.

Yes, and these people in Wisconsin are so WEIRD. I mean, yesterday was our first 80 degree day and on my way home from work, a majority of the cars had their windows rolled up and the AC on. C'mon people!! You're not going to die when it hits 80. Really!

Not many Yaris around here period and more sedans than LB. I have only ever seen one with any mods. There's a Blazing Blue with aftermarket rims and maybe an exhaust, maybe more stuff, too. I only see him at Zaxby's and Walmart.

I see about 4 Yarii a day but never seen any with mods. (except for at the meets)

See mostly liftbacks but a sedan now and then.

I *always* pass a Polar White LB AND a Polar White sedan on my way home. I want to get a picture of my PW LB next to that stock one... just for fun.


Ooo...what do you guys think of this idea. You know how I'm looking for ways to tie in the blue. My "T"'s need to be repainted after the winter abuse. What if I painted them a really dark blue instead of black? And, with the front one, leave the background black and just the actual "T" in blue?

That sounds pretty cool. I say go for it.

I think that would look great. Try it, if you don't like you can always repaint back to black.
