That is my Jade Sea....I don't really keep the site up to date as I have more of a life than just the web...funny how many people out there live and die by sites like CarDomain. Anyway, I love the color of my car. They only real problem is that the paint job Toyota puts from the factory sucks ass and is scratched very easily. I am kind of worried because I had a friend store it while I am ovre her in Afghanistan and my wife told me that it is filthy cause he never got the car cover for it like he was going to...long story, a deal we had, should have known better and bought the cover myself.

BTW....still waiting on your pics!

LOVE that color!! Looks great! That's another one I haven't seen here in NJ. Toyota of Turnersville only had black, silver and carmine Yarises. After viewing your pics, you have me thinking that perhaps I should tint the two side windows and the hatch glass of my car as well. I do think the paint issue is a Toyota thing and not necessarily just a Yaris issue. The factory paint on my Tacoma X-Runner (Black Sand Pearl) did not seem to hold up really well, either. It was subject to rock chips, damage from insect guts, sandblasting, dull paint on the front bumper cover, no 3M protection on rear flares so they got blasted with road debris (most in under 15k miles). These were all common complaints over on the xr-underground forums. Get that car cover!

They were not actually supposed to sell the S model for 2007 in the color. It was a mistake at the factory however it does match the VIN...kind of wild.

I like the yellow....lots of potential if you do a few mods, and they don't have to be expensive ones either. Def start out with tint. Makes life much better all the way around.
