I think that it has to be accompanied by a set of chrome rims!

[mikeukrainetz]

yeah thats one awsome 'billet' grille as its auction says...

[ChinoCharles]

Obviously I use the term "chrome grill" loosely. :tongue:

[Jfoofoo]

I think it's only chrome coated.. it's still plastic under it.. once it start to chip it's going to look like hell

[W.A.S.P]

I think it's only chrome coated.. it's still plastic under it.. once it start to chip it's going to look like hell

Not bad, but I think I would strip it and paint it to match the rest of the car.

[Chris07LB]

Its chrome coated plastic... if it were cheaper, id grab it and go flat black. :cool: :wub:

[ChinoCharles]

Haha, I actually thought about that when I saw it. It could be painted anything... but I have a hunch it would look stupid on this car. Don't ask me why.

[ChinoCharles]

It does look really similar, only this one has lines going down too. It would look cleaner without them.

[07WYarisRS]

It's clearly not the right shape for my Yaris LB unless it fits out overlapping my front bumper cover around the grill

yuck

[mikeukrainetz]

it looks incredibly like a big plastic add on...
remove the existing top grille, cut out the bottom grille, replace both with black mesh... ugly grille prob. solved.

[johnnyfive]

it will likley fit overlaped, like the other one posted above

[paultyler_82]

It is a duplicate of the JDM Toyota unit, the lower section has a raised lip that covers that "dip" in the lower bumper, for those of us who want the look of the JDM Styling package ver. D, this grille is a nice alternative to the Toyota brand unit which is almost 3 times the price, It's really all a matter of personal taste, mine's on the way now, 98 + 19 shipping. Just because it's plated ABS doesn't mean it's poor quality, my I30's factory grill is plated ABS and it still looks fine, pitting is negligable and this is on a 8 year old car with 170k miles.

[QUOTE=echo_hrs]It looks suspiciously similar to the JDM Styling Package Ver. D for Vitz...
At least you can get an idea of how it will look on the car...


I like Chrome but I don't care for the chrome grill, it softens the look of the car and makes it look wimpy, the black grill gives it the aggressive look which is why I bought it.

Post pics when you get it put on paul - I'm thinking about it too.

[paultyler_82]

Well, got the grille in today, and as soon as the significant other gets home, I'll see about installing it, I'll post some pics as soon as it's on. As far as I can tell, it's a solid unit, ABS, but dense and heavy, nice substance to it, and the plating seems to be of very good quality, it says it was made in Taiwan, it has all the hardware to mount, and appears to use all factory mounts, rather than drilling or any 3M. I'm pleased with it, and have to say, while this probably wouldn't go well on every Yaris out there, I think it'll look pretty good on a Meteor Metallic Grey Yaris.

[Violin]

Any pics paul?

[Chris07LB]

Oh, forgot about this one!

Post 'em up Paul, I wanna Pshop one flat black! :cool:

[hhcchen]

actually it's a perfect grill if anyone want to do some diy personalize grill...
you can cut the verticle lines out...
or cut one or two of the horizontal lines out...
paint a portion of the grill black and leave a portion chrome...
or paint the whole thing to match the body color...
well... you can be creative with such a grill...

yay... made in taiwan...
i heard taiwan will starting to produce its own yaris...
that means all kinds of after market will come out soon...

[paultyler_82]

I don't have any pics yet because I still haven't put it on... the grille is kind of a pain to change, and I've been working about 60 hours a week lately, just haven't had time. But as soon as I do, I'll post em

[Violin]

Cool. I noticed that they are eBay now with a "best offer" option.

[jamal1984]

i think its will look very good on SEDAN, price on Ebay now is a little cheaper, but i want too see some pic with it on first.

[kudzu71]

I've been thinking about this grill as well, but was not sure about how it would fit on the hatch with the slightly different shape. Looking forward to pics.

[redyaris]

Good luck on those pics...this thread is about a year old. Nice resurrection!

[vacantj]

I thought about getting it and just painting black to replace the current one but I have 4dr sedan so not sure if it will fit...

[black2yaris]

my only problem with that grille is it don't offer any ROCK protection for the rad. at least the stock grill is slanted up to defect rocks from a direct hit to the radiator . Replaced a rad on my Tacoma due the wide openings in the that grille that let a freeway rock nick a hole in the Rad.. waiting on a chrome grille or even a Black one with a tight mesh for my Yari ... been emailing all the US grille MFG's to ask them to get one out .. lets start a mass email campain to get one made !!!

grills...ack http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smilies/animated/no.gif

http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smilies/famous/mr-t.gif I pity the foo that uses cheap chrome plastic, I do, I do

[03Z33]

anyone out there with the grill? pics? :iono:

[Garrett9000]

I need to find a grill to replace my newly cracked stock grill. It's hard to find anything on eBay for a Sedan... I called my dealer, and it'll be $130 for a replacement stock grill. Would anybody be able to help me with this quest? I'm willing to stick with the stock version, but if I can find something cooler I might give it a go if the price is right. Would it be less of a hassle to repair the cracked plastic one? Is it "grill" or "grille"?

:needpics:

[JumpmanYaris]

I NEED HELP ON INSTALLING THE METAL CROME GRILL IN MY SEDAN I AM SO LOST AND CONFUSED SOMEONE HELP!!!!!!!!!

[ChinoCharles]

It is for the liftback only my friend. Better look into returning it and/or selling it.
