My 4x GX Rim ordered and installed at Toyota Service Centre(SC) in May 2017..
Capture the online umw computer system and part number.
Go and ask for GX Rim at service centre... if they cannot find the part number, provide GX Rim p/n  to spare part person or service advisor person.

I've booked Vios J (white) last unit (rebate) in Kch today tentatively to arrive around 21st Dec.

But I'm contemplating whether to upgrade the DVX or aerokit.
Which is more worth it? Was thinking of installing the body-kit outside.

Will installing OEM GX bodykit externally void anything?

Still need to wait that long? Personally, no need bodykit la cause its just a Vios afterall, no ones gonna be wowed. Id rather reverse cam/ touchscreen.

True true. But too bad in their inventory, it's all but gone.
Anyhow didn't upgrade anything.

About the waiting part, yes. No more stock for my colour. The shipment goes from WM-KK-MIRI-BTU-KCH so that's why it's late.

Bodykit depends.. you can get nice thailand bodykit also.. if u want ur car to look different lah...

If I would, I'd get a reputable brand player. Will it void any warranty if I do decide to install a rear cam as well>

Bodykit is rather straightforward I guess. biggrin.gif

Hey guys, I was wondering the GX bodykit (OEM) is ABS or PU material?

I was quoted RM1800 (PU) incl. paint and installation.

For 1800, pu aerokit material quote? Hmmm... let me ask my Sales or  Service Advisor.
Edited :'- SA said, GX aerokit from SC is PU.. through whatapp replied a while ago.

For me, my GX aerokit cost me 1200 in April 2017 with paint and installation.. I forgotten about the material type.. in mudah, lelong, lazada, GX aerokit price range from 850 - 1400

Hey guys, let say I want to change my single din head-unit into double din with reverse camera function, which portion will be voided? Assuming installation doesn't require any cutting of wires. Same question for suspension springs.

Reputable ones like Pioneer or Kenwood.

People always concern and worry about warranty issue right after modification.
For me, it is quite simple. Forget about any modification if you were worrying about warranty issue and stick to the stock.
As we know, business is always business, profitable is always their priority, the rest of come after. Even plug and play item may become an excuse as well to reject your warranty claim in one day.

For me, I think 1100 is quite reasonable price compared to SC quote, and I go ahead and changed it just 3 months old car, without 2nd thought as my earlier budget entitled it. Should be std aerokit materials and ask for GX aerokit photos if any, from accs shop..

Perhaps you should have add the below to become "real" GX car from exterior design view:-
1. Genuine Front chrome grill bar. 400 from SC, Accs shop 180 - 300 used..
2. G EMBLEM / Logo cost 44, big X EMBLEM /Logo cost 77. Order from SC.
3. Front small headlamp(parking light) and rear number plate bulbs to nice white LED bulbs.

For interior, just remains genuine completely.

Buy touch up paint for RM20++, clear coat RM10++ then touch up yourselves can already. End result all depend on how good your hand and the precision of the brush tip, if everything is good it will barely noticeable from 1m distance.

This. Applying more clear coats won't be a problem also. Can always use compound polish to smoothen out the surface. It is pretty minor to prepair for RM400. ohmy.gif
Heck, I think some detailing centers will do a good job for a lower price. hmm.gif

Philips White vision 3700K with Osram 6000K LEDs
Looking pretty bright for a 60% white halogen light.

The free t10 blue tinted halogens were fixed for the rear license plate but it's still yellow unfortunately.
Ordered another 6000k Osram LED to match the front.

Thanks to @kentbong92 for sharing his similar set-up months back.

It's cheap but you can try the C6 brand. It's a lot more reputable. Get the 4300K ones.

Car about to reach 1 year in another 2 months.. Hands starting to get itchy already. Planning to install sport rims. Contemplating between 16 and 17 inch. What are your view guys? I'm leaning slightly towards 17 inch,  true enough because of poisoning by friends.  Suggestions? Thanks n cheers.
*
16" tyre price isn't that much different than 17s. You will just sacrifice some pickup, fc and comfort.

But 16" is the sweet spot. Rim width should be less than 8jj. Optimal size will be 205/45/R17.

Personally, I'd get gunmetal or black lightweight rims with 195/55/R15 as I'll be planning to lower the car with Tiens/4Flex/Eibach/GAB about 2 fingers width. A sweet spot between acceleration and stability. Thais always use this set-up.

Osram T10 W5Ws 6000k looking the part. I tend to be sceptical of no-name LEDs as I've seen too many cars with dim plate lights or flickering lights so Osram or Philips is my to-go brand.

Similar kelvin rating with the DRLs.

Weekend damage. Oracal 970 series Gloss Black. If you know what it is. biggrin.gif

Also I've just realised the "newer" TRD had its Keli grill painted black.

Wipe it clean. Get turtle wax compound polish in AEON/Parkson/whatever retail shopping outlet.
Buff it with some strength. Do it till it's less visible or till it's gone. Need some elbow grease for sure.
Then you can coat the area again with a sealant/wax.

This is assuming the only damage is to the clearcoat. If you can see the primer/basecoat, you'd need a touch up paint kit. For that, you can check out ez touch up paint Malaysia.

If you have the $, then just send it to a detailer to do it for you.

Keep it emblemless is also fine tbh.
