Mine is actually black in color. My pix size too large so can't put at the avatar.

Using Falken ZIEX S/TZ01 18R. Getting noisy now.

wah... seems like u did quite some mods.

 

any improvement or recommendation after doing those?

 

i was surprise u didnt go for 20" rims. My previous servicing i saw a white one with 20" rims and twin exhaust. very nice

Maybe u can look out for 2nd hand 2.0L 4WD GV?

Tks for the headsup bro... appreciated.

Leather seats yes

 

Side steps I got it fixed at Pro-Rv at 17 Cuff rd ($600). If u fix at CM, it will cost u $1K for each side (I was told by the servicing staff there)

 

The 2.7L version comes with rear roof spoiler. I fixed mine at the same place above for $250.

 

Sorry to bring up this thread by saw this side step thingy...firstly i agree that installing with AD is exp...my AD quote me more than $1k to fix side step.

Maybe pro-v can help me out...

 

2ndly, how secure is the side step ? I saw on the internet that it's purely secured to the car body using 1 screw on each end of the pole....will it crack my body kit if my kids "jump" on it to get into my ride ??

 

Thanks

Both sides cost $600 in total when I got mine fixed last yr so definitely cheaper than AD's $1k per side. And it is a mere 30 minutes job.

 

I would be lying to you if I said the side step / running board will not give way if tremendous pressure is applied but one thing I can tell u is that when I sent my ride to TuffSeal for PPS, 4 men, 2 on each side, were standing on them as they work on the roof but it nvr gave way or had shown any sign of coming loose. And I have sent my ride there no less than 4 times liao so u say leh

 

As regards whether it will crack yr bodykit if yr kids jumped on the running boards, honestly I won't noe cos I dun have bodykits on my ride...it is almost stock if u leave out the running board and the roof spoiler

 

Assuming tt yr ride is oso a Vitara...Pro RV also have other bling blings for this model that u may consider fixing if budget permits. One of which is the roof-spoiler ($250)...go take a look

hm..thats a interesting point. On the website stated no drilling needed yet can take up to 2 adult weight (>120kg).

 

Nope, not driving a suzuki...but if the side step is a generic model for any SUV, then can consider. Yeah, might drop by to take a look during the weekends.
