It looks much better in the light. Was raining today though. As you can tell it makes the rear end of the car look a lot wider. Parked next to my brothers corolla from the back they look nearly the same size. Before with the chrome in the center is where your eyes are drawn to it makes the car appear smaller. To me has a more clean look.

Thanks! I like the look too. Must have been the angle on those other pics as the Toyota emblem is not painted. My bad.

One more question, did you replace the turn signal bulb with something other than yellow? In your pictures I don't see the yellow bulb. I recall someone did that but I don't remember who...

Yeah i have chrome tail light bulbs they do flash yellow though when signalling. I have chrome reverse lights too that give a very bright white light when backing up.

If you look up the part number for the bulb just type it in the search on ebay with the word chrome. Or use the search button i think someone had posted a good brand and bulb type before.

Hey guys, I just got my chrome trim for the grill, check it out... I think it looks ok... I was a bit skeptical at first but it turned out ok.




By the way, my grill, is very similar to the one that Cali Yaris is selling, except I had it customized, I had the bottom bump below the toyota logo shaved to make it thinner. I also added black vinyl on the top lip to make it two tone. Added the chrome trim, and viola! it looks totally unique now.

Thanks vios7! I got it off of ebay, its about $14 but shipping to the philippines is like $35 so about $50 but I definatly think its worth it, coz it really stands out, especially if you have a mesh grill.

Just do a search on ebay for yaris and you'll hit one of the auction pages for sure.

I'm not much into chrome, but it really compliments the chrome trims. I thought about it for mine after I saw yours, but I don't think it'll look good on a dark colored car like mine. It really goes well with your silver.

yeah I thought about that before, since I already had the chrome trim on the trunk, it made sense to have it in front as well, heheh it makes my vios look unique too. I like the outcome, I was skeptical at first, I said to myself, I'll buy it, if I dont like it I'll just sell it cheap, but it turned out ok afterall and I'm pretty happy with it :)

Yeah, I like it for that reason too. I have pieces of chrome here and there (well, since the trunk trim was chrome, I went and bought chrome license plate frames). I like the chrome "wing" you have, but I really don't think it'll look nice on mine for the reason I stated earlier

Where did you get that front splitter? And what happened to the eyelids?

The front splitter i got on ebay. I thikn i payed liek 20 bucks for it. It looks like some weatherguard stuff that you could probally get at home depot. The eyelids i took a pic of the other night were held on by masking tape lol. Just to test fitment. I just put them on few minutes ago with 3m mounting tape so now they are held securely. I will take some better pics tomorrow with my digital camera this are just cel phone pics.
