Holy Moly Handle

I know that it seems insignificant, but other than a dark tint, the only mod I've done is installing a grab handle on the Driver's Side. They are on the other three doors so the passengers can hang on for whatever reason and I just wanted one too.

Easy install, just pulled off the two plastic covers and inserted the handle.

Cheers.

Chrsto4.

This was also my first "mod" a few days after I bought the car (and before I discovered yarisworld.com). I had 2 in the back above the rear doors, and only one in the front on the passenger side. Symmetry is important too, and it looks out of place without it, in my opinion. I also looked at several other cars interior, and all had 4 interior handles on the roof. Call it "feng shui" for your car. :)

I never really thought it was needed in a car. My husband has a Dodge ram 3500, it's pretty tall so you need a handle to get in, but for some odd reason it doesn't have one on the driver's side either, I guess they expect people to climb grabbing the wheel . Manufacturers can be odd sometimes.
