Am I voiding my car’s warranty if install accessories outside of the casa?

[bler]

Hi guys, we recently bought a Honda City 1.5 vtec and I’m planning to buy wrap around skirts for it outside the casa kc mahal masyado sa casa, and I’m wondering if the 100,000km or the 3 yr warranty of the car will be voided if I decided to install the wrap around skirts that is not from the casa? Since we’re on the topic what shops do you recommend in installing wrap around skirts and how much would it cost me? It would also be great if you give me links to their websites (if there is any)… tnx

You'll only void the body integrity warranty (in regards to rust-proofing and paint), and only if the installer has to drill holes to install the bodykit... and only on the panels where they drill holes... it's not a big deal.

bler, you could check out Cliffords at e.rodriguez sr. ave cor araneta ave. last time i talked to them they quoted me 20K front, side, rear skirts and ducktail spoiler with paint na. its for the facelifted city by the way.

do they have a website so i can preview their work? or do you have pix of ur city with the front side rear skirts? so i can preview their work before going to their shop...

do most of the installers of lower skirts drill holes to the body or dinidikit lng?(sorry baguhan lng me sa mga ganyan bgay... hehehe)

At most you'll need to drill two small holes per side. Just put some touch up paint on the drilled area to avoid rust.

just checked the website you mentioned, and i saw that they are offering kevlar fenders, hoods, etc... is it true kevlar? since the materials are made of kevlar then the products that they mentioned are bullet resistant...

or maybe its just made of fiberglass, or carbon fiber mimiking kevlar or just an immitation... how can you tell the difference?

just making one thing clear i said bullet resistant and not bullet proof...

[userfriendly]

Kevlar ok ito ah. So pag nilagyan mo niyan plus kevlar na subs ala armored car ka na

I may be wrong, but I think for kevlar to become bullet resistant, you need to have a certain thickness.

to be 100% sure, ask your dealer. kung muffler tip lng yan, malamang ok lng.

[OTEP]

Kapag nagpunta ka sa dealer mo complaining na sumabog ang engine mo at sinabi niya 'sorry wala kang warranty nilagyan mo ng skirt, eh' pakisagasaan mo nga para sa akin.

Your warranty is only affected if the dealer proves that the particular modification caused the failure you are claiming warranty work for.

Since that's a Honda I would advise against installing non-Honda-approved anything if you don't want any warranty claim headache... because sooner or later you WILL claim warranty, it's a Honda that's guaranteed :D

[OTEP]

Maybe you should've gotten a Kia or Hyundai. Walang problema sa warranty. hehehe. Ang dali magclaim.

[pepengtom]

kahit sa toyota mahirap mag-claim e. hirap na hirap ako mag claim, kaya i-disregard ko na lang. pagawa na lang sa labas.

[driven]

talk about warranty...

is it true na if you consistently use motor oils from toyota during PMS, they will extend your 3-year warranty to 4 years? anybody heard of that? bagong gimik ba ng toyota to?

Suggest you contact your Service Advisor and discuss the modifications you want in your ride. He is in a better position to advise you whether the warranty will be voided and you can have peace of mind.

[OTEP]

The problem is all service advisors will say that the warranty will be void because they want you to have the accessories installed in-house. Siyempre may bias.

Pero kapag nag-claim ka and the accessories are there already, hindi na nila papansinin iyon most of the time. Unless talagang obvious na yung pinakabit mo ang source ng problem.

[pepengtom]

sounds ko nga anlaki laki ng kahon di pinapansin sa casa e. ok lang yan.
do whatever makes you happy...

Sakin dati bumubusina pa yung sasakyan kapag nagring ang cellphone dun sa loob. Uso pa car phone nun. Wala din problema sa kanila.

[lolo pepe]

how about yung mga anti-theft alarms, immobilizers, kill switch, etc.? me modification sa electrical system, ma void kaya warranty?
