Never noticed that, now I want to do that as well lol

A lot of people have painted this piece. Removal is easy. Remove the liner on the trunk lid and there's four 10mm, I think that's the size, nuts. Then just push it out from behind.

WHo's Vios is that with the scion badge?

RHDVIPbB · 06-02-2010, 09:39 PM

I plan on doing it to mine when I get in the paint booth for the other parts.

Its not hard to remove. You have to remove the plastic liner inside the trunk lid. Theres a few 10mm screws. And the rest are just plastic clips that hold it in place. Then you carefully pry it from the outside and that piece pops off. Then take it to a local body shop and have them paint it for you. I accidentally broke one of the clips prying too hard but it has enough screws that will hold it in place anyways.

If you want to try to paint it yourself you can try this place

I have bought paint in the spray can from them before to do minor bodywork for friends and its always a perfect match. Just make sure you lightly sand it. When i had mine painted i think the guy did no prep work i have a bit of orangepeel on it but you cant tell unless your up close.

I've noticed some local Yarii have this piece in plain black plastic as opposed to the chrome on mine. Chrome wouldn't hold paint well. I'd go to the dealer or wrecker and get a black one, prime it, and colour match paint it. Also need to eliminate the chrome found in the tail-lights and of course the stinking badges.

fnkngrv · 06-03-2010, 06:55 PM

I have covert plans for that piece in my future...just waiting for a phone call from gsr...

JayTee09 · 06-07-2010, 02:01 PM

Brian · 06-07-2010, 02:43 PM

I ordered some carbon fiber yesterday so I can wrap mine.

AdeJong 03 · 06-07-2010, 05:27 PM

my sedan actually came with a black chrome trunk piece instead. i think they started doing it in 09.

you can kinda see it in this pic

JayTee09 · 06-07-2010, 08:31 PM

that must be the s model only cuz mines 09 and it was crome. I think yalls headlights are that way too but not sure

AdeJong 03 · 06-07-2010, 09:07 PM

yea i noticed the s models came with smoked taillights and gunmetal headlight housings as well

im curious to see how carbon fiber will look

Herbicidal · 06-10-2010, 04:41 PM

Did mine too. The only chrome left is on the remaining badges and the exhaust tips. Personally, I like the color matched 'look'. My wifes 09' Corolla S trunk trim piece is color matched to the car as well.

JayTee09 · 06-10-2010, 06:10 PM

thats the best pic I have

yeah im probly gonna color match mine when I get my dents and dings touched up
