There's paint-less dent removal in honda-Libis. I have it done once in my civic. Tried asking for the same service in Toyota Cubao and Toyota Pasig to fix dimple dents in my Innova, kaya lang they dont have this kind of service.

hi, its my first time to post here.

My Innova have small bumps in both front sidedoors caused by my kids. We all know how thin the body of today's cars.

Can it be remedied to get back its smooth & flawless look without undergoing major repair?

Same here. I was supposed to get the E variant of the IMV series, because of the A/T tranny. But I end up getting the G variant instead after months of side by side comparison between the E and G. Better get the higher end if you have the budget, the additional accessories are worth it. The lighter interior is also an advantage, you can easily spot dirt and stains and remove it immediately.

I had my leather seatcover done by Seatmate. Perfect fit...

Pare its better to go to toyota casa and see for your self the innova 2009 version and ask the sales representative regarding sa ang mga details and differences between the E and G variants.

By the way, mine is a 2008 G variant and got it December of that year. There are actually several differences between the E and G variant, and for me, the features of the G variant (hindi nga lang leather and seat cover nya) justifies the price difference between G and E variants...Hope I was able to help you on this....

hi guys for those with vvti automatic what is your fuel consumption city and hi way driving? thanks

As stated above mine is a gas variant and automatic, I got it in December 2008.

City - 7.5km/l
high way- 10km/l

However, some would say that in due time my fuel consumption will get better....Moreover, there are also other factors that affect fuel consumption such as one's driving style, etc....

Probably what you meant was the stick on center console wood panel finish?

You can get it from your dealer or any other shops in Banawe like C3 4x4, or in Malls you can try ACE or Blade.

Hi, thanks for the reply. I'm not really sure pero ito yung circular thing (with nos, etc) around the knobs.

Is that it? Included in the wood panel finish you mentioned?

Sticker lang yon. Probably you can get the OEM sticker at your dealer, go to the parts section and ask for the part number and price.

Strobe light as in like those in fancy motorcyles? You can check them out on malls (Blade or Ace).

But if need was blinkers, I have one installed by AutoBacs - P3000 Blinkers all white.

They have LED blinkers (all white) P2000. - but not very bright.

Note: you need permit to install blinkers.

[roberto_minosa]

Jeez, for the love of God, please don't install bolt-on blinkers unless you're the president. Those things make cars look cheap and seem to be used as backup vehicles for convoys. But if you're looking for the "bad-*$$" look, find ones that can be fitted inside the headlight assy or the foglamps. Now that would look like the headlights of Transformers' Barricade.

And yeah, I still won't make way for a private car with blinkers. Manigas sila sa traffic.

<<Any car, even a Maybach or a Lambo, will look cheap with blinkers. Now, imagine a Suburban or a Pajero or a Fortuner or...every one of those!>>
