glass hatch? i don't think so!
my car is in the body shop.
I said, "wile it's getting fixed, might as well get the spoiler painted and installed." (factory type S) I brought the spoiler and hardware to the body shop. they called this afternoon and said, "uh, this spoiler and hardware is for the yaris where the glass opens. if we install it, it won't fit right and will look funny." I told them "okay, just paint the spoiler and hardware covers. i'll take care of it." am I wrong? is there ANY yaris that the glass opens independently??? in their defense, it is a European body shop. this is prob the first yaris they've seen... but I've test fit the hardware and held it up to the hatch. I can't even understand how they think it goes. I guess they could be putting the brackets on backwards....it would look funny then :) please let me know if i'm crazy... |

No Yaris (anywhere) has an opening rear glass.

Should be a good story to customer whose car they painted your color.
Or, maybe your spoiler is now on someone else's car. |

well, this shop produces some nice work. that's why I took it there. like I said, it's a European shop, that's mainly all that comes out. I have a few friends with audi's and Volkswagens and bm's and they all came out great! I told them yaris is sometimes made in france, so it's cool...
update* today i got a call from my insurance. seems the body shop found a few more issues that the insurance inspection found. my original estimate was for $1450. they called to inform me it was now $4200. what's under the bumper that costs $2800? Last edited by SirDigby; 10-13-2016 at 12:08 AM. |
