Long shot with old thread, but...
Where did you order this from? I would love to find one for my car. Thanks, Matt |

DanMC was last active on the forum 4 years ago.
If I recall correctly, these are only available through Toyota Canada... and it's surprising how many Canadian cars sport these hood deflectors. |

Yeah, I am just looking for a way to order it from Canada. Do I just call a Canadian dealer?

You could give that a go, but I seem to recall a yarisworld member doing just that and discovering that Canadian Toyota dealers can't/won't ship parts to the US. Could be wrong, though. Well, it just takes a simple phone call to find out.

When Garm resold them back in the day, he had a Canadian buy a whack of them and ship them to him in California.

Sad that Toyota doesn't offer crap for OEM dealer-installed add-on accessories for their cars (especially in the US Market). They could learn something from Honda in that regard.

I found this company, and they just replied to me with a quote. I'll report back if I go with it: https://www.formfithoodprotectors.co...ris-2012-2015/

Looks like the $92 dollars was about half shipping. The price of the unit itself was ~45. I imagine getting it in Canada would be much cheaper.

I live in the land of hood deflectors yet I believe yours is the first 3rd gen I've seen with one.
