Yaris sedan - how to remove chrome trim on trunk?
Hey everyone,
I want to remove that chrome trim piece (no idea what the technical name is) to paint it body color. Has anyone removed it before? Is it a pain or pretty easy? I have the paint on order along with some self-etching primer. Thanks!

Very easy. There's, I think, 4 10mm nuts holding it on. Just remove the piece of carpeting on
the trunk lid and you'll see.

Did you paint your chrome trim piece? If so, what color? My paint should be here on 10/6.

Cool. It will match your color better than mine. I just need to get my hands on some matching paint to do mine.

I had mine painted awile ago color matched flint mica. Its not too hard to take it out. You ahve to remove the trunk lid lining. And a few bolts. Then there are a few clips that are a tad bit tricky to remove. I accidentally broke 1 but the bolts still hold it in place fine. Make sure you clean it well and scuff it up a bit. When i had mine painted they didnt prep it and there was a bit of orange peal.

Cool. I just checked your 'garage' but I don't see a picture of the finished product. Do you have one to share?

I like it without the chrome it makes the rear look a little wider.

Thanks for the pic YarisSedan, I like it! My wifes 09' Corolla has it already body color from the factory. When I'm done, the only chrome will be on the Toyota emblems and the Vios badge. For me, just the right amount of bling.
I'm also thinking about a light smoke on my tail lights, I think it would work well with my Flint Mica paint.
