Regarding the back of my Yaris - Toyota Yaris Forums

yaristhebest · 01-10-2013, 12:11 PM

Hi guys,

I'm happy owner of a Yaris 2012 Sedan (silver). It looks exactly like the one on this picture except for that piece. As you can see, that piece (what is the name of that piece btw?) is finished in chrome while on my car it is simply black ABS plastic like in this picture.

I'd like to replace that piece made of black ABS plastic with a piece like the one displayed on the picture (finished in chrome). But I don't know where to buy it (must be in Internet because I'm from South America) nor how much should I pay for it and I'm also unsure about what do I need because I think that there are people who sell the "chrome paper" with adhesive so I can simply buy that paper and stick it to my current black piece... but there are also people who sell an entire new piece (made also of black ABS plastic I believe) that comes pre-loaded with that "chrome paper".

I don't see the point of buying a replacement piece when I currently own that piece and I only want to give it the chrome look.

Thank you!

Sounds like a trade waiting to happen. Many, many people do not like the chrome and do whatever they can to eradicate it.

While I'm not in the US (I'm from South America) I have a friend in the US (Miami, FL) who can receive that piece in his house and then send it to my country. If anyone here have that piece for sale drop me a pm. I can pay through Paypal.

But I'm not sure how much should I pay for it. Also I'm not sure if the chrome piece that I'm looking for comes made of ABS plastic or comes made by pure metal. Because if it comes made by ABS plastic then I think that it would make more sense to me to simply buy the "chrome paper" adhesive so I can manually stick it to my current black ABS plastic piece.

It's chrome on plastic. Do you want me to get you a Toyota one and ship it to you?

I sent you a pm.

Other people who are looking to sell that piece are also welcome to write me a pm. Thanks!

It was a great eight year run, but it was time to focus on other things. I'm still selling parts on eBay under micro*image seller ID and customers can still make requests for anything specific.
