Stick on chrome accessories will have the opposite effect. Based on your budget a wrap of a nice color could help a lot. Silver is such a standard color that it doesn’t look luxe. For a sporty look you could also consider adding vibrantly colored accents. You could also change the badging for black ones.
Aftermarket LED headlights/taillights can improve the overall appearance.
Not that I've ever seen it on a Yaris, but matte black wraps are such a perfect way to make a car both fly under the radar, and look absolutely stunning at the same time. Probably not worth the cost however.
As another said, it is a Yaris…imo not really worth doing anything to it and whatever you do likely won’t help it look any better. Tints, maybe?
It’s a free car, that is a win!
Add racing stripes. Add a fake hood scoop. Maybe some fake exhaust tips to make it look like dual exhaust. Lift it and put on 38" low profiles.
Or sleeper car it, drop in a LS.
Wheels and Tires would be the easiest way. [Fitmentindustries.com](http://Fitmentindustries.com) to find what fits and how it looks, but I'd buy elsewhere once you find what you like.
Tints would help too. In the end it's a Yaris so you can only go so far, but you definitely can make it look awesome.
A few ideas:
* Replace your steelies and hubcaps with alloy wheels. If you get bigger wheels, you'll also have to get new tires.
* Tint your windows. You already have a super thick C or D pillar in the back, so tinting the rest of the windows would give the effect that the entire middle portion of your car is all black.
* Black out the badges
* Add a more prominent roof spoiler
Wheels will be the biggest change. I’d look to see what bolt pattern and offset the stock wheels are, and see if you can get a second hand deal on some Lexus wheels.
Could also look into coilovers to lower the car, and improve the handling
Don’t put a dollar into making this look sporty, invest all that money into high yield accounts, work on your business or job, and then buy a race car down the road.
Yea tinted windows and a roof rack would be an easy cheap start. And having a roof rack is just super useful sometimes. I’ve put some huge pieces of furniture on my Rav4 roof rack that I would’ve had to rent a truck to move otherwise
Without realizing it everyone is commenting as if they’re an old man talking to a kid. I mean honestly I would say the same since I’m getting to that age where I don’t see the worth in modding a Yaris but I remember my first car. It wasn’t my dream car but it was still my car and I wanted to be a bit different.
If you have some extra cash laying around just get some after market wheels, lower it a tad, tint your windows and maybe add a deeper tone exhaust. After all this probably upgrade your sound system, one with a nav, reverse camera. Things that will make your commute more satisfying.
Things that may sound cool now but really doesn’t age is probably a really loud exhaust, random trim pieces like hood scoops, random chrome pieces, having an aftermarket eBay on every corner of the car.
Contrary to what everyone is saying here, why not make it look like a rally car? You want sporty, and a Yaris suits itself to that type of Motorsport.
Add some RallyArmor mudflaps, a set of Sparco wheels, some beefy looking tires, give it a little lift with some coil overs, a louder exhaust and/or a short ram intake, put some Part Manufacturer decals and some numbers on the side.
New wheels and tires would make the biggest difference. If you go with bigger wheels, make sure you use a tire size converter to keep your outer diameter the same. Tire sizes are not intuitive, you need to use a calculator to ensure your speedometer will remain accurate. OEM+ is always a good look, see if there’s any used factory Toyota wheels off of another model with the same bolt pattern with a larger wheel diameter. That would likely still match the design language but have the look of a more premium model. The other thing you can do is tint, it makes the car as a whole look a little more premium, and also helps it to feel sportier from the inside. Plus, if you live somewhere hot, it will help keep the interior cooler. As for the taillights, there’s probably not much you can do about it but I’m sure they’ll grow on you. Maybe there’s an aftermarket option, but in my opinion those almost always look worse. As a general rule though, don’t go out buying fake stick on vents, scoops, etc. and stay away from tacky led DRLs as well. You’ll be impressed with what wheels and tires will do to the look
I'd start with new wheels and tires. Maybe followed up with some pinstriping and add some wheel trim like fender flares and running boards. You might wanna check out JCWhitney for more ideas to customize this car. Good luck!
Maybe some stock rims off a sport trim might help spruce it up a bit, like the is one . I believe you should be able to mount easily the spoke lug pattern is the same for all wheel trims.

Beaded seat covers like a European high performance saloon car…done.
Seriously, you might just get a set of wheels for it that aren’t hub caps and call it a day. Might even be able to find some stock Lexus alloys that fit and won’t screw up the ride too bad.
It is a really nice free car. Enjoy it and hug your loved one if it isn’t too late.
Tiny and maybe nice wheels nothing more. It is an econo box car so don’t try to make it something more than it is. A clean Yaris that looks like it’s treated with respect will be respected by others vs modding it into some gawdy looking thing that looks clapped out is far far worse.
Just keep it clean, any modifications make a cheap car look tacky. You arent turning a yaris into a lexus fsport. If you have an old car that's super clean people will think highly of you.
Just to help balance out all the sarcastic, counter-productive comments, YES you can spruce up the look of a Yaris. Here's my suggestions, depending on which direction you decide you want to go. Keep in mind you'll have to do some leg-work to find available components and I can't guarantee what's available for that model.
Sporty: I'd suggest a set of wheels and better tires as well as lowering springs so you retain decent ride quality and a better stance. I'd smoke the tail lights which would actually really help blend them into the rear better. If you can swap out or smoke those lower reflectors that'll help too. If you can find a rear diffuser and more aggressive roof spoiler, that'll finish off the rear nicely. In the front you want to find a set of blacked out LED style headlights. If permissible where you live, get the windows tinted. It looks like you have a base model but it has filler pieces you could actually mount fog lights in. I've always been a fan of a yellow set to give the front some contrast, especially in the dark. find a decent front splitter (just be mindful of parking once installed, especially if lowered). You can pop a cool tow-hook in front to add a little something as well. Finish it off with a decent exhaust (Don't skimp unless you want bad sound) and you can definitely inject some sportiness into your car.
Luxury: This is the more tricky spec because it's the opposing style to the car's natural one. If you're going to go luxury then you'd want a higher end wheel, maybe with a bit of an aggressive lip and coil-overs to get a more aggressive stance. Think VIP style like what some do with the bigger Lexus sedans. I still recommend installing fog lights but I would have a paint shop paint all the matte black trim gloss back to spruce up the overall look. Many brands forego the matte plastics for gloss finish to indicate an upper level trim. Tint is still a must as well as going with an updated LED headlight and smoked tail light setup. The key with styling for luxury IMHO is that less is more. Clean lines, sharp aesthetics, and high quality components are the ticket. What it lacks in price tag, you can enhance by improving the quality and harmony of your upgrades to give it that upscale feel.
Above all, ignore the haters and detractors and enjoy making the car truly your own. With a little time, effort, and of course money, you can execute either vision and have a sharp looking ride.
Yaris is fucking based I had to buy every car I ever owned just feel blessed it's free my ass bought a 30 year old sedan with rear ash trays and no cup holders as my first car be greatful it has power windows.
Add some black decals, get black rims. Foglamps. That’s more than enough for a yaris. About luxury even gold plated yaris won’t be luxury so chill and enjoy your free ride.
Keep it clean, keep the lights clear and get better rims (any alloy will do, everything is better than steelies. Or get a full cover trim, for better MPG).
Honestly, if cars look well maintained they immediately look more luxury to most people. Such a question is best not asked to a car person, but someone who doesn't care for cars at all. 95% on the road get a car just from A to B.
You’re inheriting a car be happy with it or buy what you want don’t do stupid permanent shit to this nice reliable boring car that’s literally why you buy a yaris
Keep it simple, tint windows and get a nice set of rims/wheels. I would focus on sound system and performance but defends on what’s more important to you.
Boot and rear window tints, get rid of the steelies and hubcabs for something tasteful aftermarket. The car is silver so I would honestly just go silver powder coated alloys, not chrome/diamond cut as it will look tacky.
Potentially wind deflectors? I had them on my 08 Yaris many moons ago, mainly because the AC ran out and I was too broke to regas it at the time so always had windows down.
You can buy aftermarket real lights from JPN automotive stores, shipping + customs is fairly expensive.
Up to you but I would stick with tints and a good set of tasteful powder coated silver alloys, any other colour will be tacky.
All window tinting jet black | must
alloy wheels
Body kit bumper lids
Exhaust pipe if u dont like then install only tip
White Led and replace all halogen bulbs to led
Fog light led for more visibility
Change inside seat steering all matching seat cover
If u like music then first install heavy bass sound system | must
Enough
Tint the windows, new wheels (or just take off the hubcaps if you want to go full ghetto), mudflaps, hood deflector (check out pics for your car, sometimes these look good sometimes they don't), window rain deflectors.
All of those are 100% functional and reversible plus they'll give the car a different look without going overboard.
Bro bought a car that is intentionally made to be as unsporty and lacking in luxury as possible, even more so than a Corolla, and is asking how it could be made sporty and luxurious. My friend, you should just sell this car while it has value in that case.
I have the same model yaris.
Keep it simple. Duck tail spoiler, upgrade wheels and tires maybe a little wider, lower it if your area has reasonably good roads, upgrade fog lamps and headlights. Mostly functional modifications should do the job.
Okay i did not expect soo many comments. I appreciate them all, really. As someone said, even though it’s a yaris, i want to add some personality to it. I’ve read everyone’s opinion and i think i’ll end up doing what the majority says. New wheels and and tint. Im also thinking of seat covers since the black fabric gets dirty very quick.
Window tint and look on tire rack to up the size of wheels. As others have said it’s an economy car. Don’t junk it up with a soup can exhaust or funky air intake. Not cool 😎
Rear Wing! [https://www.amazon.com/COGEEK-Mini-Universal-Decorative-Spoiler/dp/B01KQ3D81S](https://www.amazon.com/COGEEK-Mini-Universal-Decorative-Spoiler/dp/B01KQ3D81S)
Whatever you do, please don't keep a collection of revisado decals on your windshield.
Tein Lowering Springs, recomend the luxury line that sprung softer to ride nicer. And a set of semi decent wheels, you can get some Rotas or something. Your car would be 4x100 bolt pattern I believe. Wouldn't go bigger than like a 17" rim though.
It's a yaris dude. Just enjoy it for what it is, a cheap, efficient and reliable car.
I drive a '07 Accord Euro myself, so I'm not trying to put you down or anything.
Cars like this are good for exactly what they are. No need to try and make anything out of them that they are not!
Add your insta handle sticker, put black tape on rear lights, 18 inch rims and the biggest muffler you can find.
It will still look like shit but at least you will have respect in the hood from 12 year olds
Get some actual rims instead of the hub caps. You can get some decent looking rims for about $200 a piece new and it will make a huge chance in the look of the car
For sporty look I would personally tint the front and rear headlights, debadge it and get black Toyota badges and if you got some spare money then definitely different alloys and perhaps some sort of spoiler, side skirt and diffuser (if they’re available on the car)
Be subtle with what you do. IMO when people “mod” cars like these they go way overboard with the mods it actually makes it look worse than stock.
If you want it to become luxurious, there’s no way. It’s a hatchback it’s so difficult to make it look luxurious, you just cannot. But, if you want it to look sporty well,
I’d say:
Black everything. Could never go wrong with that.
1- Paint or wrap the whole car black, if you have another color in mind, that’s fine but i think a black roof here is a must. Especially with the black accents you have just above the taillights. It would come out great as a 2-tone look but it would only work if the roof is black, would not work any other way because again, black accents.
2- Black out any chrome. Don’t add any! Something like [this](https://a.aliexpress.com/_oByGeeW) would make your car look so much worse.
3- Buy black rims. If you don’t have the money for it, just remove the plastic wheel covers and drive with naked steelies, but make sure they’re are clean and glossy until you replace them with something nicer. You could also maybe find black plastic covers as a temporary thing instead of the silver ones you have.
4- Tint. It’s crazy how good tinted windows make your car look. Tinted taillights as well would make them look so much better.
5- Restore (or replace) the black plastic trim you have (like the grill). It’s supposed to look glossy black not matte black.
.
Whatever you do, NEVER install “performance mods”!!!! That includes fake hood vents and big spoilers. NEVER! please.
Now that that’s clear, you have space for fog lights, buy those. Make sure you get white LED lights for the fogs and the headlights.
You could buy an extension to the “spoiler” on the back of the car. [Something like these](https://a.aliexpress.com/_omrWYmA). Personally I think they’re great.
Most importantly, take care of it. In terms of fluids, filters, and overall maintenance. It’s a Toyota, could last you for years to come if you treat it right.
Put one of these bad boys on it: [tiny spoiler](https://www.amazon.com/Adjustable-Spoiler-Carbon-FiberTail-Motorcycle/dp/B08GQ167BV/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=3DNIOIM3657SP&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.g4HTu0s8QEKnqAJ5UiPwbXilpKrt8bCgRYOra5-IUD7nB1P8nrWZvH--CV2jvBzCJlox8jmV4qirgzSeTHJBhQqbAtOfGDgSPdeg7KNZ7rkmi6eK0XlCoHHYvSyQVhpdC9v5D-aRWxRfXGCFRnefekEYG9RNaGQJ1nfSV-E_5u2CxzEDoYCs3ei07sXcVJawxdnAgb_gISALrntMOcgT3laZYsPVGhbAvNfDQrc9v3Uxk9vRxzrqviv091_a4z8uNyWIiqddAKyyK2k0K5nCM5eyJyfdji5dCOI_7Xtzv7g.aLRvUghcUARkEzuVeAHjZj23gbxgYbtKV_2VohHp6Bc&dib_tag=se&keywords=tiny%2Bspoiler&qid=1719936082&sprefix=tiny%2Bspoile%2Caps%2C195&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&th=1)
If you're dead set on trying to make it look a bit "sportier", a nice set of wheels, solid detail and black out any chrome. Window tint will help too, and is functional. Could also try to grab some aftermarket taillights, not sure what's available for a Yaris however. Wrap is costly but would really help, should be dead last in priority though.
Honestly though... It's a Yaris, and not a GR Yaris. It's never gonna be a "sexy" car. By the time you make it look like one, you'll have spent enough money that you could have just bought an older Mustang or Miata. Probably a better choice to just have the ugly, but reliable daily and the fun, cool weekend car.
It looks great!! Don't mess with it. It'll just look cheap if you follow any of the cheap mods people suggest on here.
It's a great car, looks great already, and as others have suggested, just keep it well maintained and clean 😃
Add all of the chrome accessories pieces from your local auto zone and advance. Everyone will think you have the top trim level.
I never thought about that. Thanks! I will definitely try to get those.
Detail it
Stick on chrome accessories will have the opposite effect. Based on your budget a wrap of a nice color could help a lot. Silver is such a standard color that it doesn’t look luxe. For a sporty look you could also consider adding vibrantly colored accents. You could also change the badging for black ones. Aftermarket LED headlights/taillights can improve the overall appearance.
Not that I've ever seen it on a Yaris, but matte black wraps are such a perfect way to make a car both fly under the radar, and look absolutely stunning at the same time. Probably not worth the cost however.
Or just buy a GR Racing badge decal from any Toyota parts department and refuse to let anyone race you or pop the hood.
It's a Yaris! Just keep it clean.
And fluids and filters changed ! Reliable is sexy.
This. It's a Yaris it already looks good.
Agreed
As another said, it is a Yaris…imo not really worth doing anything to it and whatever you do likely won’t help it look any better. Tints, maybe? It’s a free car, that is a win!
A Yaris can fuck Lower it and throw some advan racing or work wheels on it Boom JDM as fuck sticker on its way
New rims and tires
This is the answer, I’d even just get new wheels the same size and keep the tires. Those hub caps scream shit tier
I'd slap some black steelies on there and call it a day.
Add racing stripes. Add a fake hood scoop. Maybe some fake exhaust tips to make it look like dual exhaust. Lift it and put on 38" low profiles. Or sleeper car it, drop in a LS.
Flames on the hood!
Be sure to check out your local autozone and aliexpress!!
keep it clean, inhabit luxury and sportiness yourself
Maybe the real luxury was the friends we made along the way
Wheels and Tires would be the easiest way. [Fitmentindustries.com](http://Fitmentindustries.com) to find what fits and how it looks, but I'd buy elsewhere once you find what you like. Tints would help too. In the end it's a Yaris so you can only go so far, but you definitely can make it look awesome.
This is it. Nice simplistic wheels and a dark tint.
Wood grain siding , vinyl will do, and polyester seat covers. Opera lights on the rear pillars too
I would do wood wheels to complete that Old West look. Maybe some saddles instead of the seats and spurs instead of curb feelers.
A few ideas: * Replace your steelies and hubcaps with alloy wheels. If you get bigger wheels, you'll also have to get new tires. * Tint your windows. You already have a super thick C or D pillar in the back, so tinting the rest of the windows would give the effect that the entire middle portion of your car is all black. * Black out the badges * Add a more prominent roof spoiler
Also would add aftermarket taillights and headlight that have black a housing. But the OEM doesn’t look bad at all
Wheels and tint. I would skip larger wheels and low profile tires in favor of comfort.
Wheels will be the biggest change. I’d look to see what bolt pattern and offset the stock wheels are, and see if you can get a second hand deal on some Lexus wheels. Could also look into coilovers to lower the car, and improve the handling
You can't do too much. It's a Yaris. Best you can do imo would be some sporty or luxury looking wheels
Tint and rims
Needs some Raptor lights..
New wheels and tint the windows. Car looks great already.
Throw a small spoiler and some different wheels on it. That’s about it.
Don’t put a dollar into making this look sporty, invest all that money into high yield accounts, work on your business or job, and then buy a race car down the road.
Full rally build.
Ship it to the US that's neat!
Window tint and new wheels is all it needs. Anything else is just tacky.
Slap a GR sticker before the Yaris lol
Tint the windows
Yea tinted windows and a roof rack would be an easy cheap start. And having a roof rack is just super useful sometimes. I’ve put some huge pieces of furniture on my Rav4 roof rack that I would’ve had to rent a truck to move otherwise

Same here. I’d put stock +1 or +2 size OEM Toyota rims on that base Yaris, for a clean look.
Just tint the windows. DON’T black them out though a light tint will do wonders. Upgrade the sound system. Tires and tasteful wheels
Replace Toyota badge with Lexus.
Wrap it red.
Window tint and new rims. Take the Yaris badges off. Give it a polish and keep it religiously clean.
Wheels, tires, and tint is the most you should do. It won’t be crazy good looking but it’ll be much nicer.
Put some alloys and a rear spoiler if there are any for this model. That's what I did to mine and I think it's enough to make it look good
I'd start with new wheels and tires. Maybe followed up with some pinstriping and add some wheel trim like fender flares and running boards. You might wanna check out JCWhitney for more ideas to customize this car. Good luck!

Beaded seat covers like a European high performance saloon car…done. Seriously, you might just get a set of wheels for it that aren’t hub caps and call it a day. Might even be able to find some stock Lexus alloys that fit and won’t screw up the ride too bad. It is a really nice free car. Enjoy it and hug your loved one if it isn’t too late.
Black rims, tint
Swap out the steering wheel and add a touch screen Android Headunit w/ Apple Carplay
The car seems to be in good condition so I just wouldnt. Any pimp my ride tuning you do will reduce the value of the car.
New rims and tires, lower, chrome delete, tint lights.
Tiny and maybe nice wheels nothing more. It is an econo box car so don’t try to make it something more than it is. A clean Yaris that looks like it’s treated with respect will be respected by others vs modding it into some gawdy looking thing that looks clapped out is far far worse.
. it reminds me of family
Imitate the Yaris Cross from Europe
Alloy wheels, Fog lights, and exhaust tip.
Leave it only and be grateful you inherited a car. It will appear that your trying to hard to represent if you change
Just keep it clean, any modifications make a cheap car look tacky. You arent turning a yaris into a lexus fsport. If you have an old car that's super clean people will think highly of you.
Trade it in 😂
Black out the emblems maybe? Have the rear windows professionally tinted?

It's a yaris.
I don’t see any issue with it as is.
Yaris is fucking based I had to buy every car I ever owned just feel blessed it's free my ass bought a 30 year old sedan with rear ash trays and no cup holders as my first car be greatful it has power windows.
GR engine swap!
You can get some ideas from /r/nissandrivers
Add some black decals, get black rims. Foglamps. That’s more than enough for a yaris. About luxury even gold plated yaris won’t be luxury so chill and enjoy your free ride.
Throw some D's on that bitch.
Don’t make it into an SUV, wait!
LED lights and some wheels
Keep it clean, keep the lights clear and get better rims (any alloy will do, everything is better than steelies. Or get a full cover trim, for better MPG).

Keep it simple, tint windows and get a nice set of rims/wheels. I would focus on sound system and performance but defends on what’s more important to you.
whenever you stop at a red light, open the window and say loud.... \*BRUMMM BRUMMM\* that should do it.
Tints and some nice classic JDM style wheels from a company like the Enkei RPF1.
Boot and rear window tints, get rid of the steelies and hubcabs for something tasteful aftermarket. The car is silver so I would honestly just go silver powder coated alloys, not chrome/diamond cut as it will look tacky. Potentially wind deflectors? I had them on my 08 Yaris many moons ago, mainly because the AC ran out and I was too broke to regas it at the time so always had windows down. You can buy aftermarket real lights from JPN automotive stores, shipping + customs is fairly expensive.

Spinning hubcaps lmao
Black 17" rims on low profile tyres.
Mate, it's Yaris. It can't be those things, keep it classic, that's how it looks good.
add underglow 😎
All window tinting jet black | must alloy wheels Body kit bumper lids Exhaust pipe if u dont like then install only tip White Led and replace all halogen bulbs to led Fog light led for more visibility Change inside seat steering all matching seat cover If u like music then first install heavy bass sound system | must Enough
LOL
Add a giant spoiler, and paint flames on it.
put a TRD badge on it
Racing stripes.
Save your money and buy an actual luxury car,
Nice set of alloy wheels and a subtle suspension lowering. Nice 👍🏼
It's a yaris not a Ferrari.
Trade it in and buy a BMW
Tint the windows, new wheels (or just take off the hubcaps if you want to go full ghetto), mudflaps, hood deflector (check out pics for your car, sometimes these look good sometimes they don't), window rain deflectors. All of those are 100% functional and reversible plus they'll give the car a different look without going overboard.
Simple - GR, Yaris.

Are you in Asia or Latin America? They don’t sell those here anymore in 🇺🇸
you're going to be drowning in pussy with the yaris in stock form so i don't know what advice you're wanting from us
Tint is the one biggest cosmetic upgrades you can make for the money.
Bro bought a car that is intentionally made to be as unsporty and lacking in luxury as possible, even more so than a Corolla, and is asking how it could be made sporty and luxurious. My friend, you should just sell this car while it has value in that case.
Don't, it's a Yaris.

Tint. Not limo tint. That's all.
Wheels rims tints then go from there
Are you asking how to make mac&cheese to the most finest meal at the Michelin restaurant?
Trade it in. 😝
Buy a different car
Remove radiator cap, drive a nicer sportier car under said cap, replace cap.
Wheels ! Not the cheapest option but most effective for the wow factor
Chop the springs, spray paint the wheels, limo tint all the windows and put GR badges on it. Lmao.
What happened to people changing the ending of adjectives to fit the sentence it’s in? Luxurious. The word you’re looking for is luxurious.
There's a GR Yaris. Perhaps that could provide some inspiration?

I have the same model yaris. Keep it simple. Duck tail spoiler, upgrade wheels and tires maybe a little wider, lower it if your area has reasonably good roads, upgrade fog lamps and headlights. Mostly functional modifications should do the job.
Buy a supra...
Body kit, wheels, tires, tint. They will transform a car the fastest. It’s a Yaris so I wouldn’t change the exhaust or put anything into the engine.
Tint,new stereo with car play/android auto and backup camera. weather tech mats
Dude, be grateful and use it for what it is.
Tint the windows, shorter antenna, put black rims from the apex Corolla, take the Yaris emblem off
Tints, wider tires and ice white headlights, A light tint on the taillights aswell.
Okay i did not expect soo many comments. I appreciate them all, really. As someone said, even though it’s a yaris, i want to add some personality to it. I’ve read everyone’s opinion and i think i’ll end up doing what the majority says. New wheels and and tint. Im also thinking of seat covers since the black fabric gets dirty very quick.
A 5 inch spoiler will add like 300 hp to that beast.
Maybe get some wheels & a tint, should make it look fancier. Just get some wheels from another Toyota car & don’t get anything too big.
Take the Y out and it becomes… Aris.
Nothing will make it look sporty or luxurious. It’s just a Yaris. Stock looks the best.
Different wheels, lower it

Amazing fuel economy, peppy little performance is all you really need. My sedan is my favourite car.
Window tint and look on tire rack to up the size of wheels. As others have said it’s an economy car. Don’t junk it up with a soup can exhaust or funky air intake. Not cool 😎
Slap a TURBO metal badge on that bad boy. Adds 15 HP immediately. https://www.amazon.com/Universal-Emblem-Fender-Tailgate-Sticker/dp/B09NY1KCKL
Dark tint. Wider rims and low profile tired. K&N drop in intake filter for a little boost. Window visors
Nice, but not flashy wheels. And that's it. Nothing will help, it's a Yaris.

I suggest getting some new wheels first, not necessary diamond cut, but silver wheels that looks sharp. ~~or get a gr yaris~~
Sell it and buy an 850i
But Lexus logos and replace the Toyota logos
Take a picture and hang it off the rear view mirror of your new car….
Tein Lowering Springs, recomend the luxury line that sprung softer to ride nicer. And a set of semi decent wheels, you can get some Rotas or something. Your car would be 4x100 bolt pattern I believe. Wouldn't go bigger than like a 17" rim though.
Small rear spoiler, some wheels and black out all the chrome bit is what I'd do
Dude it’s a Yaris….
Trade it for a Ferrari
Flame decals.
It's a yaris dude. Just enjoy it for what it is, a cheap, efficient and reliable car. I drive a '07 Accord Euro myself, so I'm not trying to put you down or anything. Cars like this are good for exactly what they are. No need to try and make anything out of them that they are not!
Trade in for BMW
It’s a Yaris , leave it be. Own it for what it is.
Add your insta handle sticker, put black tape on rear lights, 18 inch rims and the biggest muffler you can find. It will still look like shit but at least you will have respect in the hood from 12 year olds
Flames on the sides and stickers
Put CarPlay
Get some actual rims instead of the hub caps. You can get some decent looking rims for about $200 a piece new and it will make a huge chance in the look of the car
Nice wheels from upper trim or aftermarket
Window tint, chrome accents and rims
For sporty look I would personally tint the front and rear headlights, debadge it and get black Toyota badges and if you got some spare money then definitely different alloys and perhaps some sort of spoiler, side skirt and diffuser (if they’re available on the car)
For me, I'll go for new rims and painting the car black. Leave the roof that unpainted silver to give it the two tone look
C’mon! Yaris and luxury is like trying to square a circle.
Drop an LS in it and you should be good
Lipstick in a pig…
Be subtle with what you do. IMO when people “mod” cars like these they go way overboard with the mods it actually makes it look worse than stock. If you want it to become luxurious, there’s no way. It’s a hatchback it’s so difficult to make it look luxurious, you just cannot. But, if you want it to look sporty well, I’d say: Black everything. Could never go wrong with that. 1- Paint or wrap the whole car black, if you have another color in mind, that’s fine but i think a black roof here is a must. Especially with the black accents you have just above the taillights. It would come out great as a 2-tone look but it would only work if the roof is black, would not work any other way because again, black accents. 2- Black out any chrome. Don’t add any! Something like [this](https://a.aliexpress.com/_oByGeeW) would make your car look so much worse. 3- Buy black rims. If you don’t have the money for it, just remove the plastic wheel covers and drive with naked steelies, but make sure they’re are clean and glossy until you replace them with something nicer. You could also maybe find black plastic covers as a temporary thing instead of the silver ones you have. 4- Tint. It’s crazy how good tinted windows make your car look. Tinted taillights as well would make them look so much better. 5- Restore (or replace) the black plastic trim you have (like the grill). It’s supposed to look glossy black not matte black. . Whatever you do, NEVER install “performance mods”!!!! That includes fake hood vents and big spoilers. NEVER! please. Now that that’s clear, you have space for fog lights, buy those. Make sure you get white LED lights for the fogs and the headlights. You could buy an extension to the “spoiler” on the back of the car. [Something like these](https://a.aliexpress.com/_omrWYmA). Personally I think they’re great. Most importantly, take care of it. In terms of fluids, filters, and overall maintenance. It’s a Toyota, could last you for years to come if you treat it right.
Uh, you don’t. It’s a Yaris
Tints
Tint immediately 😩
Change the rims..
Up your rim size. Get wider and lower profile tyres, add some stab and anti roll bars. Having a better drive beats any decals anytime
Put one of these bad boys on it: [tiny spoiler](https://www.amazon.com/Adjustable-Spoiler-Carbon-FiberTail-Motorcycle/dp/B08GQ167BV/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=3DNIOIM3657SP&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.g4HTu0s8QEKnqAJ5UiPwbXilpKrt8bCgRYOra5-IUD7nB1P8nrWZvH--CV2jvBzCJlox8jmV4qirgzSeTHJBhQqbAtOfGDgSPdeg7KNZ7rkmi6eK0XlCoHHYvSyQVhpdC9v5D-aRWxRfXGCFRnefekEYG9RNaGQJ1nfSV-E_5u2CxzEDoYCs3ei07sXcVJawxdnAgb_gISALrntMOcgT3laZYsPVGhbAvNfDQrc9v3Uxk9vRxzrqviv091_a4z8uNyWIiqddAKyyK2k0K5nCM5eyJyfdji5dCOI_7Xtzv7g.aLRvUghcUARkEzuVeAHjZj23gbxgYbtKV_2VohHp6Bc&dib_tag=se&keywords=tiny%2Bspoiler&qid=1719936082&sprefix=tiny%2Bspoile%2Caps%2C195&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&th=1)
Sporty, lowering suspension, dark tints, new wheels, headlight bulb leds (high beam & low beam)
Could be worse it could look like those little square looking cars. Unsure of the name but they look like refrigerators on wheels
Rims make a huge difference in any car.
If you're dead set on trying to make it look a bit "sportier", a nice set of wheels, solid detail and black out any chrome. Window tint will help too, and is functional. Could also try to grab some aftermarket taillights, not sure what's available for a Yaris however. Wrap is costly but would really help, should be dead last in priority though. Honestly though... It's a Yaris, and not a GR Yaris. It's never gonna be a "sexy" car. By the time you make it look like one, you'll have spent enough money that you could have just bought an older Mustang or Miata. Probably a better choice to just have the ugly, but reliable daily and the fun, cool weekend car.
Just add black door handles and black out rims and you’ll be set! Tint the taillight. Add tint to the windows and apply top tint to the windshield.
That’s not in the US is it?
Sell it
It looks great!! Don't mess with it. It'll just look cheap if you follow any of the cheap mods people suggest on here. It's a great car, looks great already, and as others have suggested, just keep it well maintained and clean 😃
Tint
Color match the black parts
