Seibon makes a carbon fiber hatch for us. I am a dealer; PM me if you're interested in one, and since you're in SoCal you cna pick it up - they aren't cheap.

no, more like $600-ish. Still seems like a lot, but I love mine, totally finishes off the rear.

CF hatch is 15 pounds lighter. And it's... carbon fiber, so yes, that looks different than painted?

Sold seibon for a few years ,it's only mid quality, had customer compalaints of yellowing of clearcoat as clear coat was not uv inhibited. Lot of the hoods had warps so even with body shop fitment, fit was still not very good. Not trying to trash the product, but don't expect O.E.M. fit.

you can, but it's not easy so a good shop should do it. Has to be smoothed out.
Yes, Seibon CF products should be given a UV clearcoat if you don't want them to yellow. I would say that's true of any CF part I ever bought for the exterior of a car. Other than that, Yaris parts seem to have good fitment. Thanks to blacksandiegovitz, my hatch fits fine now.

Thanks for letting us know the Yaris Seibon stuff fits well, I guess being small it's less likely to warp. The Hatch and hood does look great on the car.

ok so if i don't paint it then it will be that black color but it still needs a UV inhibited clearcoat? is this correct?
