Rear Tow Hook ?
**********New Design***************
Soon, this will be cut and on my car! :D I havnt test fit it on my yaris yet, I have a feeling the downward curve is too sharp. BTW, for all you techies out there this will be merely for looks and serves no towing purpose. It will be made through a plasma cutter and about 9mm thick, unless the material isnt available then it may have to be thinner.... hope not! drawing is not to scale... it was scanned but that odd looking shape at the top of the outline of the lower bumper for reference.

Is it the two loops that come down on the far sides of the rear? If so, those are jack points and also for strapping your car down to a flatbed if needed. I am sure someone could fabricate something, but I never understood rear extended tow hooks. I only use one of those hooks to strap down the kayak to the roof.

hmm.... that I guess that would be what they are.
like I said, they serve no purpose, merely for looks.

The Vitz RS "TRD Racing" model in Japan comes with a rear tow hook: (#2)
I've asked, and I have yet to get a part number for it, they say there is none. |

The Benen or any other "jdm" style tow will work on the yaris .

The universal ones would work you just have to get creative on mounting them :)

The problem I see is that there are no threaded holes to mount in. You could drill into what little material there is and put a bolt through. I might have to go to the shop and see if I have any material around.
I might borrow DandiDani hb and also use my sedan to see if I could come up with something. Would you want something for looks or to be functional also? I only ask because it would depend on the thickness of the material I would use.

Unless you could make it functional and not ridiculously expensive. If you wanted something like that made locally, where could you get it made?

I want to get the TRD rear & front took hood too.......I've ask the same question in Japan, they said that everything in the TRD Racing Version won't sell separately(the took hood, seat belt, roll cage)...only the owner of that car can order spare parts of it

Yeah, it's sorta goofy with the parts from that model. Recaro makes the seat bracket for the driver side (RHD) but TRD makes the seat bracket for the passenger.
