2012 Yaris SE

[D-Flo]

Thanks for the useful suggestions.

I bought the car and feel 10X better about DIY now that I'm free of the lease restrictions. I could use more tips and suggestions about how to fuse the seams between the plastic bumpers and the metal sides where they meet in the wheel well areas. Specifically, sheekeebut .. can you tell me more about these $3 "bumper clips" and exactly how they fit on?

I don't visit this YarisWorld much, but had to visit today after seeing a racing Yaris with all sorts of sponsorship stickers on it being towed northbound on the I-5 btwn the Grapevine and the 580. One of my brothers races in the 24 Hours of Lemons format and I always drop hints to him and his team members to purchase a used Yaris if and when they can get a good one for cheap. (The Lemons format lets the racing administrator purchase any car entered into a race for $500 as a disincentive for a team to pour too much money into one).

Great to hear that you are enjoying your purchase.
