OEM accessories fitment manuals

Hi everyone *waves*,

@mods
Please free to delete this thread if it's old news - I'm a noob here - or move it, should this not be the right place for this thread.

I'm not sure if this link has been shared here before, but I've found a really neat website that explains how to fit the OEM accessories and part numbers.

They have manuals (PDF) for all kinds and generations of Toyotas.

I have just decided NOT to add the rear spoiler when I saw the picture of the drill. Yes, I am a little coward when it comes to using a drill on a car.
Almost died of heart failure adding PDC sensors on my (ex) Fiesta.

Darn. I was really hoping to get a "bolt on" blazing blue pearl OEM rear spoiler for my '12 hatch. It would have been a subtle and good-looking addition to an already handsome car.

I won't drill my car, either. I'm with you there.

I just wish it snapped and/or was glued on. Oh well.

I'm going to settle for the chrome fog lamp decals (the local 1.3 XRs have them) and (3dr) side sills, if they are:
a) available locally
b) not a gazillion $s

Had a look at the DRL fitment...
Now my head hurts.
I'm sure it would be no challenge at all to some more seasoned members on here though.

I was so overwhelmingly in joy when I learned the 2012s don't have that daytime running light nonsense.

My lights are for the darkness/overcast skies, not the daytime. I like controlling my lights, and I know when to use them, thanks Auto Manufacturers!

Do the spoiler, it looks mad!
Yeah, I'm gonna do DRLs, but aftermarket ones, not OEM. Too expensive. :(

It does!
Seeing that the 1.3 XR (the only ones locally that come with the spoiler) are almost non-existent due to their price, it would make mine stand out even more.
Just the drilling though...
Maybe I'll ask my buddies Vodka and Gin () to help calm the nerves, but then the end result may vary.

Don't be afraid, just make sure you put paint primer/rust proofing on any bare metal (don't forget the back side of the hole!!). You won't see the holes, so it shouldn't be perfect, but measure twice, cut once. :)

The spoiler is pure sex on the back of the Yaris...but I just cannot/willnot risk it.

I guess I'm a coward.
