New Grill Mods! - Toyota Yaris Forums

Jackalope1 · 12-01-2011, 03:34 AM

I've been kinda bored with the way my car looked lately so I decided to custom paint my lower grill black. I also purchased a mesh grill from MI and made the fogs yellow.
I just wanted to share a few pics and see what you guys thought...

I also purchased a 13mm Penguin Garage Rear Hub Spacer Kit but haven't got around to putting in on yet, so hopefully in the next week ill get it in and get some pics up

Jackalope1 · 12-01-2011, 02:53 PM

Thanks, probably not. I had them on my Audi once upon a time and never really cared for them...IMO I think it looks kinda cheesy

MadMax · 12-01-2011, 04:33 PM

Damn, that looks good! That grill has been on my wish list for a while, I need to send Garm some cash and pick one up!

Cheers! M2

Will do. About the eyelids n deflecter I don't think so...I'm not trying to stand out all that much as the yaris is my daily driver. My other car causes to much attention already so I'm just kinda keeping a clean lo-profile look on the vitz

Looks great!

EPyarisdriver · 12-02-2011, 12:49 AM

I love this! nice!!

Klink10 · 12-02-2011, 06:49 AM

On your set-up that looks good. Did you paint the MI grill? On the lower grill what color did you paint it with to match the MI grill (if you didn't paint it) and where did you get the paint? I haven't looked at the MI grill much so is it plug and play into the factory attachment points? Thanks

I didn't paint the MI grill that's how it came. For the lower grill I just used a cheap can of "Brite Touch" flat black from advanced auto parts, but I had to take the bumper off to paint it. The MI grill is basically plug and play except for you have to drill holes in the tabs and use zip ties to hold it on (which was fairly easy to do). I'm also pretty sure that you can put the stock grill back in and the drilled holes shouldn't effect anything. I had to pull the bumper to get that in as well...

And thanks to everyone else for the compliments

it will look best if you make your HL casing black.
