yesterday i went to talk to my local dealer. I talked to the manager and he told me that it the car broke down and we put any unauthorized parts, including TRD and Tom's!!!!, this will void the bloody warranty. I wish I was working in New Zealand because there, part from both TRD and Tom's are recognized as the accesoriies. ...sign.....
one of our guys here said that, for instance, if we replace the exhuast system, only this part will be voided BUT what the toyota dealer told me is (the exact words) "anything in your car that we think it might contribute to the stability of the engine will void the warranty on the engine as the whole". so i reckon at this stage, once i recieve my car, i will not do anything. jeese..this is cruel.
