i've repainted mines black, but they were in too rough shape, so they became rusted again after the winter..

Hows the yaris drive in snow with good winter tires? The tires that came with my yaris are no good in the snow. I couldnt even make it up my driveway before the traction control would cut power.

I've never had mine in more than about 3-4 inches of snow at max. I've got studded snows (Hankook Winter iPike) and they've been great. It doesn't see snow too often.

Love this thread! Can't wait to see more pics. I've been contemplating painting mine, but can't decide what color.
