Obviously you're here to laugh at people's personal modifications that fit their budget rather than appreciate their work. Apparently you're the small percentage of people on YW that have to criticize others. Not everybody would be eager to spend over $20 on something that everyone, especially GUYS.. should be able to do themselves. I'm a girl and I managed to make it work and had the ability to do it in a decent amount of time. The majority of people on this thread even said it's pointless to buy it and to just pick up something and DIY. Don't be so harsh, this isn't a place for that. Thanks.

OWNED.
By a girl... That's gotta hurt. But, let's see a few pictures!

Actually only three people would rather DIY, watch for multiple posts by the same person. ALL the rest have them and love them, or want them.

The fact that you’re a girl isn’t an issue so don’t play that card; of course anybody could make these and the choices for material are endless. Did you want me to say, "WOW, great, nice job, and by a female Yaris owner, we're so proud..." Without discriminating against age, race, or sex, I still think (notice how I said think, this means it is an opinion) dash pads made from a blue yoga mat will look horrendous, hence, post some pics.

Just to be clear, to DIY is great, but, I don't believe anyone can make them as well as these. Sorry if I was to harsh Dory. Heres some points by the manufacturer;

1) All pads are precision cut with steel rule dies which are expensive.

2) You cannot hand cut the console tray and cupholder pads perfectly using scissors or xacto knives.

3) For the DIYers, I have offered on other sites to cut their material for free. Just pay for shipping.

4) My prices are cheap compared to accessories you buy from the dealer. Any OEM accessory is marked up 500% or more.

$25 is a steal, best functional mod I've made to my Yaris.

I have these mats. They are awesome, quality is great, fit is perfect. Yes you could do it yourself without too much trouble.

It was not worth my time to find the material, make templates, and cut the rubber when I could buy something perfect for $25.
