Wondering how many RS'ers mod their yaris. I'm planning on starting on my 5dr liftback in January and just curious as to where yaris owners go to to get the work done.

I put an aftermarket antenna on mine. Does that count? :p

But yeah, I can't say I've seen very many modded Yarises at all... a few have had rims... but that's mainly the extent of it.

I'm still trying to decide how much I wanna spend on the car. Thing's an 09..so finding a body kit has been a pain.

Seems like a good place to start. I know a few people who frequent the forum, seems nice. Maybe you can come to a micro meet the next time one is planned. :thumbsup:

not a lot of modded Yaris out there. But there is a white one (i think) with projector headlights, LED strips on the front with a big exhuast in richmond driving around a lot.

I think I also saw it at BCIT one time too.

the new yaris RS is a bit overdone IMO.

i think yaris is a decent small car, just lower it, and it will look 101% better + probably a better ride since it is way too high!

yaris owner here..i have an 09 as well..all the 06-08 yaris sideskirts and rear bumper kits fit.

the only difference is the front bumper

revspot has good prices on some aftermarket parts. like lowering etc.

OP what color did you get?

yarisworld is a good forum, used to drive an 05 echo hatch.
there's a blue one with yellow rims around. its very nice. but mainly, u're looking at intake/exhaust/lowering and rims and taillights. That's about it.
If you have the money, u can import the jdm bumper from japan but you have to get rid of the rebar to have that installed. I've seen one running around in richmond with the jdm bumper.

Ordered at GarageFive. They havn't arrived yet, but when they do, gonna have a friend of mine install it for me.

And I'll probably take pictures of my Yaris when I grab some wheels. It's sitting on steelies + hubcaps :p.

I have a roof rack, does that count as modded? My blue 5dr HB is lowered 1.8" with 15" Konig Rewinds (because my OEM 14's were dead and I found a sweet deal on a used set of rims and tires). I tried 16" and the weight of the wheels and lower profile tires made the car ride like crap. The lowering already made it considerably bumpier and less comfortable. I think anything bigger than 16" makes the car look silly. The stock ride was way soft though, so increasing the stiffness did help with the handling at the expense of comfort. Car also looks much better lowered.

In hindsight, modding this car is a waste of money IMO. It's a cheap econobox, not built great. It gets you from A to B efficiently and cheaply, and is great to park into tight parallel parking spaces. Save the mod money and get a better car :)

To the guy who gets 550km/$35, sounds a bit optimistic. Back when I was worried about my fuel consumption, seemed like most people were getting about 500km/35L with average day to day driving, which is about what I get. After a regular fill up, my last fuel bar starts flashing usually around 480-500km's.

Bump this thread. It needs to be revived.
Yarisworld.com is where we all go for this breed of car.
Or ubcscc.com for those who like to play with them a bit more instead of "show and tell".
