I chose aftermarket and have been told that the 09 grill isn't a direct swap to an 08 sedan, at least on a USDM Yaris.

Aftermarket looks better anyway so if you can find one I'd get it.

aftermarket looks 100x better especially with how they painted the one in that pic.

i don't think so, try again? lol


alright, i'm asking the bodyshop guy see if he can do the aftermarket grill at no extra cost. The more i look at it, the more i like it...

How possible would it be for him to make the grill out of just mesh? But I def vote for aftermarket. Looks way better than stock 08 and stock 09 grills

i need a new grill. OEM 07 grill would fit right in. Some mods are required if i were to go aftermarket.

I still have my old aftermarket grill that I got from Garm. I went back to OEM because I did a crap job of painting it myself. And ... I broke all the tabs off removing it when I didn't like it anymore.

So if anyone wants an aftermarket sedan grill (like Kaotic's) that needs to be repainted and somehow attached, lol, pm me.

The aftermarket looks more JDM aggressive modified.
