You will need to get new neoprene washers (6) before reassembling it. They get damaged upon removal, and needed for watertightness.

I like my chrome trim. It reminds me of the early Austin Americas and early Mini Coopers.

I am happy that my 2007 has no chrome ... as I just hate the look of chrome. I guess you could call me happy.
There sure won't be a 2012 in my future. I also cannot stand that dumb single wiper on the 2012. |

One wiper works fine and looks so cool.

The single wiper clears more than the dual system I think. At least for the driver. It's also quiet as hell.

I have the silver 2012 Yaris, I don't mind the chrome trim actually. It doesn't stick out that much on the silver...

Im in the process of buying a 2012 and will definitely plasti dip the chrome. And maybe the side moldings also, depends on which color I end up choosing. Im debating between black, dark grey and silver. I find the chrome works with the dark grey but looks terrible on a silver car.

I don't like the single wiper either. I'd love it if a 2012 or 2013 owner weighed in re the safety of the single wiper -- does it clear the windshield as well as the double wipers on the Gen 2 Yaris in a medium or fairly hard rain? I don't like the chrome on any other color, but (after seeing the pictures of Hershey's friend's car) I do like the chrome and Classic Silver Metallic together on the 3-door. Isn't the Toyota emblem on your hatch chrome?
