Top 5 Accessories That Didn't Come Stock? - Toyota Yaris Forums

PolarWhite · 09-26-2007, 11:42 PM

List your top 5 favorite accessories that you have added or want to add to your Yaris. Pedal covers, shift knobs, spoilers or whatever it may be. I am curious as to what Yaris owners are doing to their cars.

PetersRedYaris · 09-26-2007, 11:47 PM

In no particular order; spoiler (available stock spoiler is weak), neoprene dash pads, lowering springs, arm rest with storage, and ALL Yarii should have the split rear folding seat.

Rally Spoiler (added), TRD shift knob(added), wish tint was stock =( (in process of adding), new wheels - black w/chrome lip(want to add), black or carbonfiber tail lights (want to add)

1) Window tint (keeps the dark interior much cooler, especially when used with cracked windows and a sun shade for the windshield)

2) Window visors (they allow you to keep the windows cracked in almost all weather conditions)

3) Steering wheel cover (I think the stock wheel is too small by itself)

4) Arm rest (I got a stock one from a sedan owner and it makes distance driving much more comfortable)

5) Mud flaps (I got the stock set from a Canadian owner and they make a big difference by keeping snow off of the side skirts and that clinging mist off of the rear windshield in wet conditions).

anyone seen the tot (sp?) bag/case that goes in the trunk?

*tk-421* · 09-27-2007, 01:27 AM

Do you mean this one?

I would've liked one in the stock package. Ah, well... Can't have it all, I guess...

Kaotic Lazagna · 09-27-2007, 01:40 AM

yes, the cargo tote. heh. i'd gladly trade my cargo net for that (now that i have a sub and amp in my trunk).

i think they go into the driver-side glove compartment so that what ever you put in there doesn't "clank" around when cornering or going over uneven pavement.

BluYrs · 09-27-2007, 05:07 AM

1) Light tint (added)
2) Mud guards (added)
3) Arm rest + storage (considering)
4) A/C (added)
5) Additional soundproofing (considering)

eTiMaGo · 09-27-2007, 07:07 AM

oh so many choices

But here are those that give me the most satisfaction both for usefulness and aesthetics...

1) TWM short shifter + Redline leather shift boot + Momo shift knob
2) Big white rims (ok not so practical but they look sooo goood) + lowered suspension
3) Sound system with iPod connectivity (not stock here)
4) GPS unit (or I'd be lost in Cambodia or something by now)
5) JDM rear bumper + LED taillights, what a sexy rear view... and LEDs don't burn out, that's a safety bonus!

landrym28 · 09-27-2007, 07:43 AM

I've only done 2 things that weren't with toyota:

Window tint
15" alluminum rims

Everything esle was toyota products...so yeah, that's my top 2!

PolarWhite · 09-27-2007, 09:51 AM

Very cool so far. Someone tell me how the armrest mounts? Does it cover up the little cup holder at the back of the console? Interfere with the parking brake? Also, can the LED tail lights be gotten in the US? How much we talking here? I appreciate your participation.

07typeS · 09-27-2007, 04:07 PM

Fog lights, wing, tint, alloys, and a 300hp turbocharged engine :0)

I can't speak for the after market models but the stock one does cover up the cup holder, but it comes with its own as a replacement. It makes it difficult to reach the parking brake in its down position but you just flip it up to get it out of the way. No biggie.

sf180th · 09-27-2007, 06:59 PM

1. TRD Springs
2. Megan Header
3. Fujita Intake
4. 18" Rims
5. Custom Stainless Exhaust
Plus more but I guess these are my top five.

*kimona* · 09-27-2007, 11:26 PM

The most obvious is a nice stainless exhaust tip. The stock exhaust pipe is miniscule and just looks silly!

yarisexpat · 09-28-2007, 12:15 AM

Wouldn't this thread be much better with photos? Then us newbies could get some great ideas for our Yari, no?

please!
