TK I really appreciate what you're doing here but I think it's going to be hard to get people to pay up front. Perhaps judging from the success of the Micro Image hood, you could get in touch with Garm to finish the body kit?

I'm still interested in the rear bumper (modified INGS+1).

But...
Then I need to know what the final design will be. Without a hole for the exhaust? (I still think this is the best solution)
Will it fit a EU Yaris without modifications (because a JDM bumper also doesn't fit a US Yaris without extra modifications)
And I also think shipping will be a problem for me.

But...
If I get positive answer to these questions, then count me in.

The final design will be exactly as you describe it. A hole in the bumper may help a few people out, but will annoy everyone else.

Maaayyyybe I can get different variations made later on (with holes in different areas), but it seems unlikely to happen at this point.

The bumper will be guaranteed to fit USDM cars. This means that people will not need to remove the crash bars from the car in order to fit the bumper successfully. It should also fit EU cars without problems, but your car will have a bigger butt than before.

I may have a solution for that problem. I'll ask around and let you know soon.

I agree that getting the full body kit made like this is a stretch, but at least we can get some components made this way while I can figure out how to get the rest of the stuff done.

Plus, it gives this project some traction, which can't be all that bad.
