Halo Rukus

[MsRukus]

Hey all :) thought I would introduce myself in here. I'm a 24 year old female from the outer eastern suburbs of Melbourne.

I am the proud owner of a 2011 Halo Rukus. I'm looking to get different wheels for it, upgrade the sound system and maybe make the car a bit more... Meaty. I have no idea how to do this, hence being here :)

I'd love to hear from anyone with advice!

Hey msrukus

Welcome to the forums..... I'm sure any questions you have can be answered here..... What kind of wheels where yu looking at?.... Choosing a set of wheels can completely change the look of a car.... When wanting to upgrade the sound system what did y have in mind? Also making the rukus more meaty.... Is that as in performance mods?

Hi, welcome to the forum.. couple things that i may suggest to help your car look abit more "meaty" or unique would be adding a front lip to the bar, its very easy to attach to the front bar, its rubber you can screw it in or just stick it on with double sided tape its more then sufficient, if you're interested just let me know, other mods i have done to my car

Debadged rukus emblem

Removed A pillar vinyl stickers

Tinted front windows

Added oem foglights ( Colour coded )

Colour coded grill

Custom polished engine cover

Mafia series eyelids

Usdm foglights

6000K Hids in lowbeam & foglights

White leds in ( domelight, maps, rear plate, reverse lights, cargo light )

Oznium 3rd brake light

Vinyl wrapped matte black Roof, bonnet, rear bumper sill, side mirrors, fuel cap

I have to say just by finding the right set of wheels can completley change the look of the car, so make sure you really have a look at your options, and remember there are people that can custom spray rims like mine if that interests you, also lowering the car makes a huge difference to its stance, but thats entirely up to you - Jim

Those engine covers and underhood covers they sell for the scion would they fit the rukus?

[cductn]

Yes engines are the same.... Only difference would be if getting the trd cai... You will need to make sure it's for a 2011+ , other then that enginewise they are the same

How do we post pics on this site

[RUK155]

Where did u get ur engine cover from

[cductn]

I use photobucket and use the tag.... It's simple to use.....

As for the engine cover I have seen it at scionpro.com I'm not 100% that's where Jim got it from though...

Woww i am really lovin that Engine Cover ;) another Change on it's way this is what Excites me every time seeing how people change their Rukus into Completely Different Car & that's what

makes a Rukus a Rukus. i am always up for new things to add that Special touch so if anybody has other ideas or can help me would greatly Appreciate it. Welcome MsRukus is so nice to know somebody who Owns a Car just like mine & since owning my Rukus every penny i get has gone into my Halo, even though many Friends are at their Wits end & they keep telling me to Stop Spending money on my Car but i can't help it, there is Just so much you can do to it as long as you are having the funds to make your Baby Look more Sexy & Meaty i have Changed the Wheels 16' Speedy Painted inserts... Repainted Mirrors & Spolier Different Color to match my Personalized Number Plate as i have Aquarius Star Sigh which is Purple is why i chose Purple for the Mirror's & Spoiler, had the Exhaust Changed to Sports few Weeks ago Had a Double Square Stainless Steel Muffler Tip Fitted & may i say it Looks pretty Cool, inside i have Blue Led Lights in the Bottom of all the Doors, in the 2 Front Doors i have Down Lights so when you open the Door of a night the Toyota Emblem Shines on the Road pretty awesome my Car is not far off looking like a Christmas Tree ;) soon to have fitted Under Body Lights all around maybe will get them fitted when i move house as i will be driving & i not wish for the under Body Lights to get Damaged. Yes they are illegal but who says you can't get them fitted, i am too wishing to get my Stereo Head unit replaced looking at the Alpine 8' Double din Touch Screen with Navigation, funny thing was i was going to order it from the States as it is much Cheaper to buy over there but there is a Catch the Navigation is already Programmed & will be of the States & not of Australia is why i now must buy from here but hoping will go down in Price. little by little You will make your Halo into Something Special & once you Get Started there will be no stopping you. i Love my Rukus Halo & now i couldn't imagine my life without it :D

[Couzellion]

Hey Sonia, re: Alpine unit from the states. Can you buy it from there and pay for an update to AUS maps? Not sure if it's possible but might save you a bit of cash still in the end?

[Rukus Son]

@Couzellion... Yes think you are able to buy over there & pay extra to have the Australia maps but haven't really looked into it. i only found out that it is not Compatible when i called into Auto barn & had the man look it up on the net & then he broke my heart ;'( Yes think now i will look into that as an option as i am unable to afford the $2,500 price tag when i can get it over there for half the Price & that's including Postage. will look into it now that you have mentioned it Thank you greatly Appreciate it. if i can save a little money then that will go towards another Project for the Halo

[Rukus Son]

@ Couzellion i have decided to just buy here in Cairns we have quite a few Auto Shops after getting my Halo back from the smash repairs just repainted Mirror & Spoiler also wheel inserts i decided to call in & see the guys at " Sun Air & Sound " they were Quite Helpful even though i must pay a little extra they are Customizing my Dash to fit the 8' Alpine Head unit & also Customizing in the Back with a Sub Woofer as there is a Gap in the back, as my Halo is not having 9 Speakers like the other Builds just plain 6 which is OK but you need to update & make it Modern & not forgetting to your Liking Here Check out my soon to be upcoming Packaged is going to look Pretty Awesome even if i say so myself :D
