might be a bit more work, but wouldn't it be easier overall to cut the middle down to size and plastic weld it back together then hit it with primer and a sanding block and paint?

The problem is getting the curves to conform. I don't think you could bend it to conform without heavily modifiying it as the Yaris bumper curves under as well as around the front. I have it attached now, but it is going to need some serious bondo, sandiing, priming and painting for it to look half decent. I will also have to get a bit creative where it ends at the wheel wells.
I been using the heat gun which helps shape it a bit, but it also expands a lot causing it to pop out in other places. This is a major challenge!
