Opinion on front grill - Toyota Yaris Forums

Just need some opinions of you guys about the front grill...

My front grill is completely messed, so i need a new one no matter what.

should i stick with the 07-08 OEM grill, 09 grill or go aftermarket ??

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??

TheRealEnth · 04-20-2009, 11:41 AM

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

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

your 09 pic makes the car look like a convertible vette.

I only see the Vet for the 09 pic also.

IllusionX · 04-21-2009, 08:45 PM

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

IllusionX · 04-22-2009, 08:34 AM

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