Striping on my Yaris - Toyota Yaris Forums

Jochen · 04-09-2009, 02:12 PM

I'm thinking about putting some striping on my Yaris.
I made this in Photoshop. What do you think, should I do it or do you have some other ideas? I want to keep it as simple as possible.

I like that a lot. black stripe would look better with tinted windows, OR make the stripe silver to go with the wheels. My taste is for color consistency whenever possible.

Jochen · 04-09-2009, 02:23 PM

I'd go for black because I have the black projectors and I'm waiting for my black taillights (and maybe black side repeaters). So I'm going for a black&grey look.

And the tinting.... on my previous car I had tinted windows. Yes, it looked better, but now I'm glad I can see through them when it's dark.

I agree with cali yaris. Tint windows or go with silver stripe.

Same here, I like the stripe, but some tinted windows would help the look. Even if it was a light tint.

I like the stripe, it compliments the lines of the car nicely!

Try Photochopping some tinted windows on that pic with the black stripe and see how it looks!

Cheers! M2

You're better with PS than me, but I think this would look awesome with a black body kit

tint windows

I made 2 more versions:

It follows the line on the bottom of the doors and then it goes smoothly into the curves of the wheelarch:

And one with a stripe above it:

I most likely won't tint my windows. I already explained why.

Jochen, your first post is the best, how bout if you connected that stripe with another stipe going diagonal from the taillights towards the existing stripe?

I also tried that (and a lot of other things), but I wasn't really satisfied.

Meanwhile, I deceided to go for this one (although the stripe might be a little bit thinner):

#8 for me. Thanks for posting that look. Good luck with whatever you decide.

Vinyl will be cheaper, paint will look better and last longer. Either would do.
