Installed "Liftback front sport mesh grill" from MicroImage

Bought this from MicroImage:



Just received this grill today and installed it within 15 minutes. Here's some pics...

Here's an old pic of when I got the car... with the stock grill

New:

On the side note, I noticed someone scratched my car... looks like white car paint. Any idea what to use to get it off?

i was wondering why the grill made the car look so much better; then i realized you have different headlights and fogs installed in the "after" pics.

The grill looks awesome. How easy is it to install? I read in earlier posts that zip-ties had to be used and its not just unscrewing the old and screwing in the new?

Also, how are those projector headlights? Are they better/brighter than stock? Any leaking/fogging issues in snow/rain?

Super easy, drilled 3 holes and only used 3 zip ties on the grill.

The projectors are slightly less bright than stock, so I have foglights to make up for that. No fogging or leaking so far.

that looks great!

sew900i, I am happy to ship overseas from my store. here is the product link:
http://shop.microimageonline.com/Lif...-meshgrill.htm

As for the install, the very small holes you drill are covered up by the grill and would be covered up by the stock one if you ever go back to stock.

OK, this thread may be almost three years old; but I gotta admit the original pics are what motivated me to order one of these from MI. I just found out they finally got back in stock today, so hopefully mine will be on its way tomorrow.

I think this grill adds a lot of depth to the front of the Yaris, and compliments the projector lights nicely. It gives the front a much more aggressive look to it. Now I have to get my new fog lights installed (the old ones' relay melted) and I'll be all set!

Cheers! M2
