car looks great,

Were the horns and easy fit or plug and play?

needed to cut some support brackets from a 90º aluminium bar and crimp a few electrical connections, but not too hard overall. You have a tutorial in the "old" forum that I used to make mine: https://gr-yaris.co.uk/forum/threads/the-horn-upgrade-thread.3435/

Thought I would add my input to this thread, just completed the PIAA horn upgrade but didn't want the horns fixed near the bonnet release. So I removed the bonnet catch and then the two brackets holding the front bumper firm fixed to the metal slam panel, then removed all the plastic plugs across the front between the lights. There are two further plugs holding a plastic cover that shields the horn (original) and also the air intake. I then carefully pulled this plastic shield out, it is tricky but it's thin and pliable so does come out. I then removed the old horn and fitted the twin PIAA ones fixing to the original horn secured bolt. Very pleased with noise and how they are concealed. And didn't need to remove the bumper, so it is achievable just take your time.

Couple more items that I installed recently:

CF mirror caps from Koshi (they look simply amazing, check the video below):



- DNA lowered seat rails - finally I can drive the car on track with a proper helmet
- Endless CC-Rg brake pads - The OEM pads are great, but these significantly improve the brake feel, especially when heated up, love the biting point, and held up to 4, 30 minute track sessions without any fade.

- HEL oil cooler - one of the issues I noticed in the first trackday I did with the GR was that oil temps tended to rise too fast (never managed to do more than 2-3 laps without having the oil temp spike up to 120+ C). With this cooler it now manages to keep steady at 90-100 C during the entire session, so highly recommend installing one of these

And it's super discreet
