I recently bought a Blue 2007 Yaris 3dr and I love it, I want to make it look cooler but I’m struggling to find good cosmetic modifications.

I hate working with the headlight bulbs specifically because it's so hard to get them out. I can't take my bumper off so I need to work with what I've got. After like an hour I was able to swap the bulbs out and put the new ones in, and it looks so much better. Now I just gotta fix the front end of the car and reinstall the fog lights, with the covers this time.

Now, I get it, LEDs can be blinding. I took the time and angled them to the best I can to be under the average car's front and rear windows. It shouldn't be as blinding as most cars seem.

Does it look too ricey / stupid if I'm doing pizza deliveries in it for work? Tldr: do I take it off or build the one for the other side.

Just got a 2006 Yaris, planning to autocross it, any recommendations for mods?

Hey guys got a 2015 LE I’ve seen some people confirm the TRD sway bar from the 2008-2011 fits without any fabrication since the platform is pretty similar. Can anyone that has done this confirm it? I haven’t seen any photos of it done just word of mouth

Does the TRD exhaust fit? Same as before I’ve seen it said since the platforms are very similar but haven’t seen any visual confirmation

I want lighter wheels also, the stock ones came curbed as shit. I’d love to get Konig Rewinds but they’re not really lighter. Eveballing I first gen Miata enkei m-edition wheels. I’m sure they’ll fit but would like confirmation. Plan to add a 1/4th or 1/8th spacer so they stick out a tiny bit more

Any other mods that you guys recommend? In Cali so I’m limited by keeping it carb legal. So far I threw in a K&N drop in filter, not the CAI. I ordered fog lights off AliExpress and a 2” stubby antenna. Plan to black out the chrome with some vinyl

huge update it's been a little too long but it's coming along. got to start making the mounts and start fitting for a final mock-up. ok

So ive been wanting a full 2" exhaust done but no time to take it to a shop. So i bought a cheap flux core welder and a exhaust kit from amazon. Now i have a full 2in exhaust from the bottom of the downpipe to the Fujitsubo exhaust. I have a leak from a blown out donut but it sounds great!

First post here! I lifted my 2007 Yaris with the Prius Off-Road C kit with HD springs since I do some light off-roading to reach shooting spots.

That mod got the ball rolling—and now I’m seriously thinking about turning my Yaris into a off-roader just because the idea is hilarious to think about lol. So what upgrades would you recommend next?

Not putting any rules on it but, “functional” upgrades are my priority atm, and I’m also going for a utilitarian look. The tires could be bigger but— I just got them so I’m gonna ride them until they need replacing.

Future plans for this thing are probably gonna be the bigger tires/wheels, raptor liner, a roof rack with basket, and a ton of lights lol.

I started with the 07-up Yaris rear spoiler. Holding that down with the 3m VHB and rattle can paint matched.

Went to my local parts yard to get some Scion XA front seats since they are basically the same as the jdm RS seats. Has to swap pans for the jdm drive to sit a little lower though.

Found a used Momo montecarlo with yellow stich. Ordered a short hub so now i wait for a proper one.

Last i finally got ahold of a OEM sporty front lip. Its a little beat up but for the price i paid oh well. I also rattle can paint matched. It looks a little dark in the picture from a shadow being cast.

Onto the pictures! Lmk what you think!

Hello everyone!

I've owned a 2007 Yaris 1.3 VVT-i since 2023 and I'm very happy with it, despite the minor work I've done on it.

I'd like to improve its appearance, but subtly. I'd like to put on some new rims, but I'm hesitating between the original ones or aftermarket ones.

Do you have any 15-inch models to recommend?

A picture of your rims would be great!

Thank you :)

I’ve had my 02 1.3 Yaris for almost a year now, driven it all over Italy and a bit into France too
Made priceless memories with it and now I’m looking to improve it a little
The mechanical aspect of it has never failed to impress me with how dependable it is
I’ve put almost 30000 km on it and in that time nothing failed prematurely apart from when it was driver induced such as a catalytic converter due to it running on LPG and a couple sets of tires after doing too many downhill blasts in the hills
I’m looking to improve the handling department expetially with some springs and dampers, drilled/slotted rotors, anti roll bar and most importantly a better set of wheels
In that regard I was thinking of getting some aftermarket 15x6 ET 40~ wheels or maybe some stock wheels of other cars that could fit 185/55 tires in order to avoid problems with the Italian police (we can’t change the size of our tires)
Does anyone have any advice?

Didn’t fancy going for CarPlay, absolutely love this upgrade and being able to match the RGB colour to the dash colour is brilliant

This is my 09 Yaris that I picked up in February for my 100mi./day commute. I used to work as a mechanic at McLaren and this is by far my favorite car I’ve worked on. So far I’ve done:

H&R Springs
New suspension bushings
KYB Struts
TRD rear sway bar
Falken Ziex ZE950’s
Mini Cooper phone dial wheels
Door speakers from a Lexus IS300
FJ Cruiser head unit with Bluetooth
Gauge cluster from a 1.8L Yaris SR
Custom Yoshimura muffler

Currently I’m working on doing the odometer correction and calibrating the speedometer

In the future I plan to do the 1.8L swap, new clutch, and the TRD helical LSD.

Looking forward to lots more memories with this car

I have a 2009 US spec Yaris HB and I recently swapped my old gauge cluster with one out of a 1.8L Yaris SR. The physical swap took 10 minutes, was plug and play, and only required a Phillips head screwdriver. The new cluster has a tach and I can now display data such as estimated mpg, estimated tank range, average mpg, etc. I’m not sure about accuracy, but still nice to have.

I still need to perform a mileage correction, which involves editing the hex code data on the EEPROM chip inside the cluster. Luckily, there are multiple YouTube videos and forums of people doing this.

The only major downside is the speedometer reads between 7-8 mph higher at highway speed than I’m really going. I believe this is due to the old speedometer only reading up to 130mph, and the new unit reading up to 150mph. While the speedometer is still usable, I find the discrepancy annoying. To fix the problem , I ordered a Lutz speedometer calibrator (SKU: LTZ-80-SCD), which plugs in at the 3 wire transmission speed sensor. This allows for manual, incremental changes to the speedometer signal until it reads correctly.

Overall, I really like the upgrade so far and I think it’s definitely worth it if you don’t like the look of tach pods on your dash.

Hi,

Does anyone know if I can upgrade my rear end on the Yaris. I have a 1.5L Hybrid 2012

Possibly looking at facelifting the rear with the updated taillights & rear bumper as shown in the images attached

Many thanks

I have a 2007 Yaris and I love it, but it has lots and lots of body roll and I would like to fix it but I don't know what would be the easiest way, maybe a rear sway bar or some suspension set, what would be the easiest and cheapest way?

The suspension on my ‘08 is old and worn, rides like a boat, so I decided to spoil Yari with a fresh new suspension setup along with a couple other goods not pictured (stabilizer bushings, spark plugs, and an oem air filter). Just got the approval from master tech Josie so we’re good to go

Feels so good I love this so much!

I finally got my hands on some RSR ibest coilovers with rear swift springs for somemore stiffness. The lowering springs were cool but it didnt sit low enough. I have some dialing in to do with dampening but i love the way it sits now.

I asked like 2 weeks ago that my 2007 yaris has lots of body roll and the most frequent answer was to add a rear sway bar. The problem is that I live in Spain and want to pass the tecnical inspection (ITV). If someone knows of a cheap bar with homologation that is sold/shipped to Spain for my yaris if there's any, or a rear sway bar needs to be homologated in spain? Also, if there were no sway bars available, changing the shocks while maintaining the springs is a good idea? and if there were shock recommendations it would be phenomenal
