I thought your wheels looked nicer before you painted them. JMO

How do you use your hatchback area with all the bars crisscrossing? I can't imagine fitting bicycles or snowboards, or even just groceries or other goods, with all of that in the way.
And I agree that the original chrome looked better. JMO

As far as the cross bars go I can fit my fixed gear bike back there with a little stratagy.
Full panda does include badges too I'm working out exactly what I wanna do with them. I'm glad a couple people like the white cause I sure do! In person its not even a question what looks better to me. Seems the pictures don't do it justice but the contrast is waaaaaay better and it makes the lip look larger which I love!

It's strange how people on here call it "panda," yet everyone else seems to call it the "storm trooper" look. I guess they want to make it sound more cool? However, the panda name matches the yaris much better.
