I searched and didn't find what I was looking for... Will the 08 jdm vitz rs jdm rear bumper bolt on to a 2010 usdm liftback? Any other parts than the bumper needed for this?

It will bolt on, but where the tail lights meet the bumper will be off a bit. If you look for people's pictures of 06-08 tail lights mounted on an 09-11, you will see what I mean.

Other than the '06-'08 tails, you will need the smaller crash bar. JDM bumper will not fit over the USDM crash bar.

You should also note that unless you replace the tails with authentic JDM RS ones, you will need to either;

- replace the chassis side tail light connectors with ones from a USDM '06-'08

or

- cut the connectors and splice the wires

I know what your saying with the rear, I want to avoid the whole issue with the jdm bumper, looks like if I want to make the lights fit I will need the 06 jdm bumper right?

I made this for clarification in case you're looking for JDM bumpers.
I assume you're looking for JDM Vitz RS bumpers and not just JDM Vitz bumpers in general.
Like the others have said, they are shorter than US bumpers so you need to change out the brackets behind it or mod them yourself.
The top pictures are the JDM front and rear Vitz RS bumpers when they first came out.
The bottom are the RS bumpers after a cosmetic change.

Rear Bumper:
Even after the minor change, the RS still retained the taillights and the bumper
flowed with the edge of the taillights. So you can still use either JDM RS rear bumper.

Front Bumper
Since your headlights are of the newer style, the bottom picture would fit your headlights.
If you prefer the front bumper in the top picture, you'll have to change out your headlights
for the "older" ones.

BTW, the two photos of the yellow Yaris above are USDM bumpers from an S model, not JDM bumpers.

Sorry, I didn't know that was your car.
Your two options are in the picture I posted. Good luck!

I like the first option you posted sadly I have found the earlier RS bumpers hard to find, too bad Garm doesn't sell these anymore:iono:
