    Default Going Full JDM?

    So I'm trying to decide on what route I want to go with on the Yaris. I've already started on a full TRD/Cusco suspension so that's easy. As far as looks and such, I'm thinking of a complete JDM route. Expensive as all hell, but probably worth it in the long run. Here's a list of what I want to do.

    Fujitsubo Axle-Back Exhaust - $392
    http://www.japanparts.com/images/Ima...base=1&no=1667

    JDM Toyota Fender Lamp - $254 ($74 for Non-Power Lamp)
    http://www.japanparts.com/images/Ima...base=1&no=1288

    JDM Toyota Modellista Front Bumper - $1,280 Unpainted
    http://www.japanparts.com/images/Ima...base=1&no=1199

    JDM Toyota Modellista Side Skirts - $450 Unpainted (For 5-Door. Modify for Fitment)
    http://www.japanparts.com/images/Ima...base=1&no=1211

    JDM Toyota Modellista Rear Skirt - $450 Unpainted
    http://www.japanparts.com/images/Ima...base=1&no=1213

    JDM Toyota Rally Spoiler - $300 Painted
    http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v9...s/DSC01725.jpg

    JDM Toyota LED Taillights - $320
    http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i2...zLEDLight1.jpg

    Total - $3,446 + Tax, Freight, Paint, Ect...

    Those are just the exterior parts. I've already sourced all of the Vitz RS interior bits and they're relatively cheap. Also, I'm currently rollin' on some Rota Slipstreams which I'd swap out once the body panels are done. Just wanted to get some input. Constructive Criticism is welcome.

    Why are you modding it?

    I thought it was your DD.

    It is, but I plan on making it unique. Might as well go all out if at all.

    I mean do you want a vitz look alike yaris that would be hard to sell to someone else?

    Unless its paid off and you plan on keeping it for a long time I wouldn't touch it.

    It's only financed for 4 years and yes, I plan on keeping it for a while. As for selling it, I keep all of my factory body panels so undoing it would be easy enough. Then sell the JDM stuff on the Yaris/Vitz forums if it came to that.

    I like the rear spoiler.

    What are the fender lamps? They look like pimpin curb feelers mixed with a lighthouse so you can park easier.

    its already unique...who else has a yaris to begin with? imo i wouldnt touch it, just drive it and save your cheese for a real car or your project if you have one, but thats just my opinion, make it yours, do whatever makes you enjoy the car more

    I think they would look good on it. Nice idea, I'm guessing you aren't going to mess with the engine at all.

    That's why I'm still just thinking about it. That's a LOT or money.

    If I knew how to do that, I'd definitely do it.

    That's exactly what it is. A parking light.

    For now, no. Probably just intake and exhaust to give it a nice tone. Once the warranty is up, I'll look into the Blitz or TRD Supercharger.

    You can swap in the 2ZZ, but from what I hear, the supercharger doesn't fit.

    If it were up to me, I'd probably just get the rear spoiler and the Fujitsubo exhaust.
    I had a Fujitsubo Legalis R on my AE86 and the quality was amazing.

    Personally, I would spend the money toward paying it off first then I would mod it to my personal preference and enjoy it.
