Nice!

Should help keep the paint much more clean.

I think Weathertech now makes a mudguard, but I don't think they are available for the Yaris yet.

how much did u get them from toyota for? i see them on ebay for like 50.
thx...the rims are bsa motorsport...they originally came grey but, i had them media blasted, painted black and then hit with this stuff called nanotech...it's some next level alien technology stuff that sprays on like clear coat but, sticks to anything, has a porous rating of 0, when fully cured is just below diamond on the hardness scale and is completely eco friendly...it was developed by some scientist dudes at m.i.t. for the medical industry (spraying on titanium rods that go into people) but, they're starting to contract it out for other things now...cities are spraying their trucks/billboards with it because since it has no pores, nothing sticks to it so tagging just wipes off of with a little soy based cleaning solvent...nothing will stick to it and it's shiny & hard as all hell...u could spray it on a brick wall n wipe tagging off of it...i never get water spots on my rims because of it and they always look brilliant...i even had the shop buff my headlights and then hit them with it so they'll never fade or turn yellow...my body shop owner buddy sprays it on the front of cars n rv's like a clear bra so they never get road nicks...he even sprayed his stainless kitchen sink with it LOL...the stuff is so sick...has like a 10 year guarantee and they're seeing it go longer in time lapse testing the owner of the body shop i go to just happens to know the guy that is distributing it for the m.i.t. scientist guys so, that's how i was able to get it...i don't think any other body shops have a contract to spray it

the mud gards were $52 from toyota after a 15% discount...i've seen them on ebay for $30 but, i just didn't trust it...

Century Collision Center in Orange is the shop (centurycollisioncenter.com)...Cesar is the owner n the guy you'd want to talk to about it...he knows me by my real name which is Ernie...they're about as good as any other paint/body shop around (although the facility is pretty big) but, i was def impressed with the nanotech...
