Grill asmbly: Experience w/ Partsgeek.com?
Hey guys!
Unfortunately, yesterday, the yaris (2008 Sedan) was in a (literally) 2mph fender bender.. Hit the back of a Kia Rondo. No harm at all done to the Rondo, but the front grill assembly on the yaris was destroyed. I found the part on www.partsgeek.com for $30, with $10 shipping. My only concern with this is that its THE cheapest place, even over ebay and Keystone Automotive. Ebay's got em' for about $60, while KSA has them for $95 (though they said it was ''aftermarket''). Wondering if Partsgeek should be trusted.. A google search showed 8.5/10 customer satisfaction, but I want to double check. Thanks! |

Also been searching their website for VW parts just to see prices (I'm actually a VW guy, my girlfriend has the Yaris) and their parts have been generally OVER priced for 1.8T parts.

Thanks for the reply Ryan! i think that's the site I found via Google, most everyone seems to be impressed. Just a few people who were unpleased.
Thanks! |

Basically, one site has the part listed for $30, the other for $107... The most expensive price so far (checked ebay and keystone). Now I have to wonder if partsgeek mis-labeled their parts? I'm lost. Someone help me please lol! http://www.partsgeek.com/catalog/200..._assembly.html Third one down for the upper http://rocklandtoyota.com/IFrame.aspx?iFrameID=2388 Last edited by Boost Addicted; 02-24-2010 at 01:59 PM. |

that upper grill on your sedan is PAINTED hence why its much more than the lower grill on the rockland toyota site. the partsgeek price is for a BLACK only upper grill....

Thank you!
I go to school for automotive tech/body, so I have access to free (minus materials) painting. But let me just clarify.. For the upper grille assembly only... Partsgeek is the same as racelandtoyta, the only difference is painted and non painted? |
