Joe this is exactly what I am looking (same color, too)--looks like you did an excellent job of installing the cover! Is there a part # for the cover & shift boot you have (and is there a boot available for the parking brake?)

I ordered the cover based on make/model/year:


For the shift boot, they don't have one specific to the Yaris, so I ordered the "Universal" kit and did a LOT of customizing on it. Fortunately, my wife is real good with sewing (has even done some upholstery), so she was able to sew fresh seams on the boot after we trimmed away a LOT of excess. The "Universal" kit is WAY too big. But I really wanted the boot to match. It's not perfect, but I think this came out pretty good after a couple of hours of mucking with it:
