Upper Grille Trim

I've seen other-market Yaris with a chrome upper grille garnish, but I've never seen this in the US.

I found a photo of a Honda Fit/Jazz with a similar grille garnish in red that I think looks very cool.

I was thinking about somehow doing the Yaris grille trim in red. What do you think?

Shouldn't be hard to wrap. Having said that, I think your car is looking amazing with the white/gold combo. I don't think red would fit well. I'd go white, or black.

I do think the 3rd Gen grill is boring. Every late model car seems to use a variation of that style.
If the grill is an easy remove then maybe a good tape off and spray the edges with a Plastidip color of your choice. Would spice up my red Yaris for sure. I would probably do more than just one line though.

That modified Honda Fit actually looks pretty sharp in that picture (the red trim is a nice touch on it). Shame that I know how bad those taillights and that rear-end in general looks.

The 2012-2014 Yaris has a nice, classic look up front. Only the boring retro 1995 halogen-reflector headlights cheapen it somewhat. These are the lights that they should have put into the 2012-2014 U.S. model (on the SE, if nothing else).
