I want luxury upgrades. - Toyota Yaris Forums

those are very good ideas to start with. The seat covers really do make the car feel "richer" and sound deadening is easy to do. You can start by spraying your wheel wells with sound deadening compound.

thanks for the compliments guys, I appreciate it.

upgrading the audio with a good touch screen head unit (GPS, bluetooth, etc) is a must!

Some nice professionally installed window tint would help too. Also maybe a TRD rear sway bar, better handling without sacrificing ride quality. To me a better handling car feels more luxurious than one that doesn't handle as well. Also its an easy mod, 100% reversible, and not really visible. You could also find some of the sport package stuff, like side and bumper skirts. Makes that car look much nicer, and isn't racy.

Thanks for the responses, everyone. I'll want to follow up with Garm for sure. I'll probably also consult a dealer to figure out what's going to effect the trade-in value of my car more directly.

I've gotten a couple of responses talking about making my car 'sportier', and a couple of suggestions for CF (I presume Carbon Fiber) wraps. I just want to clarify, I'm more headed in the direction of Rolls Royce, Bently and Lincoln in terms of Luxury.

See, I get a kick out of being the guy who drives. Don't ask me why, I just dig it. The more comfortable folks are in my car, the happier I am with it. I've even considered getting a chauffeur outfit.

So you can probably guess that I'm a little eccentric. It's strange to want to make a Yaris look and feel like a million bucks. Still, it's got such great gas mileage and dependability. That's what makes it worth it in my mind.

Thanks again for the input!

What sound deadening material do you use and where exactly do you install this?
