Liftback and Sedan: Interchangeable Front Ends? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Yaris Revenge · 05-09-2007, 01:12 PM

I know each version was developed by a different team, but obviously there are several bits that cross between the two to lower production costs. The overall shape of the front fascias are the same... does anyone know if they could actually interchange? I'd love to see a sedan nose on a liftback!

The fenders may need to swap as well to accommodate the different headlights...

someone did the measurements and comparison before, not really possible, unless you get a good fiberglass shop to hack up the extra stuff and fill in the blanks...

They aren't even close. Frenchy, get your ass on MSN.

Hmm, too bad. I like the Sedan front a lot better than the maniacally happy LB, but I MUST own a hatch. Sedans are a waste of space (JMHO, of course).
