I can tell you I know for a fact that car washes will not pull off your front plates where they sit. There are bumps where you are supposed to screw in front plates. Also the plural form of Yaris is "Yarii" not Yarises. You cars will definately be different when they are done

Since my second Yaris came from the factory red, that is alreadly true.

If you saw how the Custom Cruiser cover with black frame limits how deep the screws set in the plastic outside of the bumper, you would worry about the plates being pulled off by car wash when held by just 2 screws. That is why I am buying the Bell back mount. The plate which has places for 4 screws in the mounting base and 4 places for screws to mount the tags to the mounting base. Those heavy cloth brushers can slap the front of the car quite hard. I have those heavy cloth brushes shake a car as light weight as a Yaris.

I read some where that Toyota was asked what the plural of Yaris and Toyota responded with Yarises. If true, I question which language Yarii would be the proper plural spelling for Yaris. Any one with a PHD in English wish to settle this discussion? I question that Yarii would be proper spelling in English.
