It's all good, everyones here to learn :)

Here is the DIY install thread by Garm - http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/sho...+rear+sway+bar

The rear sway bar stiffens the rear end of the car....
End result is....body roll is reduced, car handles better through faster, tighter turns....It is worth every dollar :)

My sedan is lowered with the rear valance. The red TRD bar is invisible except the ends which one can see from the sides through the alloy wheels.

Don't sweat it in any case.

Best mod for the buck, I agree I it should show, looks great. Car is much more planted and level in the corners. Worth every penny and goes on in 15 minutes, go for it.
