    Personally though, I can't stand the ubiquity of the Vios and I'd gladly pick the Rio over it.
    Are'nt all cars appliances?

    Thanks you guys for your inputs. I called toyota bicutan and they have a pretty nice deal for Vios 1.3 J Limeted. It really looks nice with the mags and fog lamps. The only thing missing the side door bumper (don't know what it's called) that the higher models have. I may opt for the Vios J thou the Rio looks nice.

    Those are side mouldings.

    You can buy them * Banawe any time. They're readily available, I believe.

    Thats good to know. Can I also find the side mirrors of higher models in Banawe as well? I really like the side mirros with the signal light on them.

    You have to look for fenders as well. The side mirror repeaters will make your fender indicators redundant.

    I prefer bare side mirrors. Yun kasi una tinatamaan ng mga pasaway. Replacing those repeaters will be a pain in the a$$

    Mahirap makahanap.

    Yung OEM kasi ng 1.5, powered na rin. So kapag nakahanap ka ng OEM 1.5 side mirrors, kailangan may motor siya bago mo ma-install.

    That's why aftermarket shops thought of an alternative. They offered side mirrors which have signal lights on them, doesn't look OEM. But if it's the lights you're after then it could do.







    Mahal rin kasi yung 1.5 na side mirrors. Kapag napundi yun, you need to change the whole assembly
