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.
I would love to get that style of grill for he hatchback. Any ideas on a vendor that carries them??

well i like the 09 grill better.... gotta be able to modify it to fit... it makes the car look so much flatter and lower... looks good

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.
