Default looking to change the grille or front and back emblems

Well ive been looking for a new grille for my xA but most prices for the grilles ive seen like the fab, ist, rs1 etc are all pretty pricey...so my first question would be if anybody knows where i can get my hands on a grille for a decent price?

thats my first option but ive also seen xb owners and other cars who change the front and back emblems and i was wondering if i could do that with my stock grille? if so any ideas on wat emblem i can change to and where to buy them? thanks in advance

I got the grille shipped to me from a Japanese Toyota parts dealership. It ran me about $135, plus an extra charge for paint when it arrived because it was the wrong color (its the only one they had in stock). Its from an 06' and doesn't fir perfectly, but a little tramming helps it fall right into place. The difference between yours and mine is the change from 2 bar grille to 3 bar grille, which gives it a very subtle yet unique peice of beauty.

The rear emblem i bought from a local Toyota parts dealership and its from a 05 Yaris, its a little smaller than the original xA JDM emblem, but hardly noticeable. Now the ist emblem was purchased off of eBay and that was about $20. If you like the original rear toyota emblem for the trunk my go to myautofashion.com, they can hook you up with that and other goodies.

Remember anything else, let me know. I was where you are 2 and 1/2 years ago.
