I've been kinda bored with the way my car looked lately so I decided to custom paint my lower grill black. I also purchased a mesh grill from MI and made the fogs yellow.
I just wanted to share a few pics and see what you guys thought...

Thanks, probably not. I had them on my Audi once upon a time and never really cared for them...IMO I think it looks kinda cheesy

Will do. About the eyelids n deflecter I don't think so...I'm not trying to stand out all that much as the yaris is my daily driver. My other car causes to much attention already so I'm just kinda keeping a clean lo-profile look on the vitz

On your set-up that looks good. Did you paint the MI grill? On the lower grill what color did you paint it with to match the MI grill (if you didn't paint it) and where did you get the paint? I haven't looked at the MI grill much so is it plug and play into the factory attachment points? Thanks

I didn't paint the MI grill that's how it came. For the lower grill I just used a cheap can of "Brite Touch" flat black from advanced auto parts, but I had to take the bumper off to paint it. The MI grill is basically plug and play except for you have to drill holes in the tabs and use zip ties to hold it on (which was fairly easy to do). I'm also pretty sure that you can put the stock grill back in and the drilled holes shouldn't effect anything. I had to pull the bumper to get that in as well...
And thanks to everyone else for the compliments

Love that grill! It turns the Yaris into a race car.
It's in my cart at MI, along with a bunch of other more expensive stuff (shocks, springs, sway bar). Waiting to make final decisions.
But, I don't have the skills to remove the front bumper. Might wait on that one for a bit.

I've thought about a custom upper grill for my 2014. Not too crazy about the way it looks. I'd want a larger more conventional looking grill without the pointy nose emblem and the pouty lower lip into the bumper. I think custom horizontal chrome grills look good. The problem is the upper grill on these cars a integrated with the bumpers , so I'm not sure if a custom upper grill is possible with out a hack job... Another thing I'd change is less clear tail light lense , add more red. Just leave a little clear for the back up lights.:drinking:
