Opinion on front grill
Just need some opinions of you guys about the front grill...

My front grill is completely messed, so i need a new one no matter what.

should i stick with the 07-08 OEM grill, 09 grill or go aftermarket ??

I chose aftermarket and have been told that the 09 grill isn't a direct swap to an 08 sedan, at least on a USDM Yaris.

Aftermarket looks better anyway so if you can find one I'd get it.

How possible would it be for him to make the grill out of just mesh? But I def vote for aftermarket. Looks way better than stock 08 and stock 09 grills

i need a new grill. OEM 07 grill would fit right in. Some mods are required if i were to go aftermarket.
