I really like how your replacement grill better matches the lower grill on the 2007-2008 Yaris.

Have you had any issues with your Yaris in the 3 years you have had it? All the online data that I have seen (such as at carcomplaints website) seems to suggest that the 2007-2008 versions had more different problems/issues than the 2009-2011 "refresh" versions, so I have been hesitant about including the 2007-2008 model versions in my plans for buying a pre-owned Yaris in 2015.

One of the known (probably because we have CTScott ) flaws of at least the 2007 (and the 2008 IIRC) is the voltage regulator inside the alternator. I've only had 2 repairs (other than regular maintenance items) needed over the life of my Yaris, and replacing the alternator was one of the two....front wheel bearings = the other.
