I'd leave them as is. It looks fine and its functional.

I am sure it is practical.

You can try to do the photoshop on how they look like body color matched.

Maybe you will like it.

As long as you owned a yaris, there is no such thing as a ugly car to me

it looks like it has whiskers....the Yaris a bunny rabbit now. But anyhow, I guess for protection, its worth it, right?

Some moron lady reversed into me w/o looking behind from rear view mirror....so in that case those help. Then again, wish I had them so I wouldnt have gotten 3 small line dents in my front bumper~

It's just my opinion, but I would take the front ones off.

Do these aerodynamic accentuators give you a noticeable increase in fuel mileage?

I'd keep the side mouldings, but I personally don't like the adolf stache on the front or how the back ones create a seperate lower line on your car.

It's your car though and all that matters is that you like it. It's not like it looks bad.

I'd suggest you also get a rear bumper guard to protect from scuffs and scratches when you take things in and out of the car.

Do they stick out further than the body line at the door handle? That's where I worry about dings, stupid SUV's everywhere with doors that will dent my roof

Do they look really bad?

well here's what protection mouldings the dealers are selling here:

thanks for comments - I'll keep the thicker moustace for protection for now - until I'll find the clear transparent type that I like - the ones that are currently available are too small and are only for the corners really
- I'm thinking of putting those on the bodyline on the door handle where it sticks out most - another option is to put those thin strip chrome mouldings all along the side there (could spell a recipe for disaster though!)
apologies for the poor photoshop:

The doors look good. Not for sure about the others. I can see how the side can be of use, but I dont know about the other. It sure would keep ya from having door dings.

Oh my, please take them off!!!! You're embarrassing the poor little guy :(

Just do what I do, find the furthest, emptiest parking spaces and park there. It's worth the extra 15 seconds of walking. Trust me.
