April 19th, 2008 06:35 PM #3whats with the a-toy package? hehe. but seriously, thats a hefty sum of money for a package. im thinking it would be wise for toyota to include some TRD engine upgrades too.

I'm not a fan of bodykits for SUVs so if I had the money, I'll just upgrade to the shocks and springs.

pretty steep in for my taste. Kung original TRD package yan they should give you a certificate of authenticity at naka indicate diyan yung part code para ma track mo mismo sa TRD to verify. Pero for P140k itapon nalang ang bodykit kasi ang daming Fortuner nang naka bodykit. Mine just cost P40k and that's a personalized bodykit design. Dapat sa P140k engine, exhaust, suspension, perfromance disc brakes(slotted, drilled) performance tires and gauges upgrade.

I think the package is geared towards more of a 'TRD look' rather than a real TRD package which is Performance.
Any shop can probably replicate that TRD body kit but not everyone can replicate the performance package especially if it is exclusive for the Fort.
Want a good example of a good aftermarket performance package? Check out Overfinch, the company that modifies the Range Rover V8s. Now that's a real bang-for-buck package

Not a fan of body kits as well. I'd upgrade the shocks and springs and aftermarket wheels or go-fast goodies instead.

For all you know, si A-Toy gumawa yan para kay TMPI. And TMPI may have simply rebadged it as TRD. (J/K)
But on a more serious note, TMPI actively evaluates and develop aftermarket accessories (wheels, body kits, interiors, etc...) in tandem with a list of local suppliers. Even, TMPI allocates brand new vehicles solely for this evaluative process.
Btw, this kit is also available in Thailand. Funny thing about this kit, is that its really tuned to bling-bling crowd rather than those crowds who crave performance or tweaks.
Ps: Btw, the TRD shocks/spring will lower the Fort's height. But Toyota claims it will improve the ride quality (good-bye tag-tag, allegedly).

Be careful with channels like "China Observer" on YouTube. There is a clear bias in their posts and...
