What is this? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Can someone tell me what's the name of this plastic part? Is it available? Can it be installed without any alteration?

P.S: Sorry @Freedan for taking your picture as a example, I hope you don't mind

You mean the mudguard?

Murtaza_murti · 11-15-2010, 10:35 PM

No, the little back piece which I've circled.

unnecessary weight?

Kal-El · 11-15-2010, 10:43 PM

Lol. That's what it is, a mudguard.

Murtaza_murti · 11-15-2010, 10:46 PM

I thought it was called a belly fin or something. Well, is it available as a after-market part or something?

It's called the "Plate, rear wheel house".

I think it may be for under-body airflow management (although a mudguard is probably more likely).

I like "belly fin" way better!

Mud/Splash guards go infront of the wheel, those miniature fins are behind it. I believe it blocks shit from going towards the car, but mud/splash guards are put infront of the wheel due to the wheel mostly flicking crap forwards.

Totally backwards there, Kevin. That there is a REAR wheel we're looking at, with the front of the car to the right.

Actually, mud/water splashes backwards mostly. Mud guards almost always go behind wheels. This is not to say that mud/water doesn't splash up and forward at all - it does, but the bulk of it does splash rearward. Do a quick Google search on mud guards.
