it *is* 2012 after all, the beginning of the end?

But back on topic, I'm liking it!

I like that idea. I have been meaning to shoot my fog trim pieces with 8T0, so I might as well do the ol' triangles as well. I also have a spare front grill that I have been toying with the idea as well.

Upper AND lower grill? Otherwise just one might look a bit off to me.

I am actually against this idea with triangles.. Yaris has a nice window line.. painting this black stuff will change the cars appearance to the worst (imo)

Due to the same reason I chose avs crappy quality sun visors to nicer quality weathertechs which have different shape.. weathertecks sort of divide the car in two parts

With the 4 door you are already losing the length of the door over the 2 door. Painting the triangles makes it look even more "scrunched". =/
