Are there any hood or battery clearance issues with the Ultra racing strut brace

Imho its isnt beneficial until you have tires that can hold much higher g's in a corner and stiff custom spring rates. Those spring place much more stress on the chassis and that is where the strut brace is beneficial.

Like others said it's just bling for the vast majority if yaris owners as what I said above it not even possible on public roads unless you're trying to get put in jail.

To answer your question though it would be a tight fit if you have a group 35 (or 36, I can't remember) battery as opposed to the 26r that comes with the car which is slightly shorter iirc.
