Apparently, the effect was good and there were a few other Toyota Wish owners who decided to follow suit immediately after seeing it when Lim collected the car. James was one of them. However, for clear tail light owners, it's best to stick to the clear version. Much more matching. Here's what it looks like when viewed with the tail lights.

Third Brake Light Modification
The 15 LED scans as well as blink, depending if your parking light is on and if you step on your brakes. Procduces a combination of effects, but obviously works if you have the 15 LED brake light.
If it was up to me to choose, I would like the brake light to scan when I switch on the parking light. Blink when I step on brakes (currently, it blinks then scans). And scans again when I switch off the parking lights.

Toyota Wish add on spoiler
The design is pointed at the two ends, somewhat similar to the Aerosports/Z model spoilers. Cost around NT$3000, it's been around since the begining of the year, but not commonly found in Singapore yet. There is another version that is rounded instead. I'll see if I can get the pictures.

Steering Wheel options
Higher end models (including the likes of Camry, etc) usually have 4 spoke steering wheels. Good finishing too. Seems like it's possible for us to use the Toyota Alphard steering wheel on our car. I can get the steering wheel as well as the SRS airbag.
However, I just got my new steering wheel with the leather wrap and the ash grey wood trims only 2 weeks ago. Might be a bit too early to dump it without attracting too much heat. We'll see.... options, options, options.. it's endless!

Paint protection done......
Toyota Wish Aerosports spoiler again
Here's the top view.

Paint Protection
Currently, here's a few that I've put in consideration. Amazing glaze is a nanotechnology base system that does not seem to last. Not much details on their site either. I think I'll pass for that. Tough seal is a acrylic based treatment that cost about S$500 and now as a 3 year warranty. Tremendous shine uses a patented Teflon Paint Protection System (PPS) technology and seems quite good. But it's a S$698 program and I'll need to add another S$218 to remove the existing swirl marks. Ouch! Should have send it in when I just got the car. Hopefully, the car will look something like this if I send it in to 3mendouz Shine.
After that, I will consider Groomworks or Reflectionwerks for regular maintanence. Both of them have packages that we can sign up.

Aerosports Spoiler up!!

Original Toyota Chrome Handles
Yup. Managed to get the original chrome handles from Toyota. Only S$105 per set. It has the black clip at the end as Alan has indicated. I realised that the new Toyota Camry is also using the same handles too. Anyway, this is a special price that I managed to secure from the boss that owns the Turbo Wish. Subsequent sets should be priced higher, but still less than S$200 per set. A far cry from what they used to charge in the begining. In excess of S$400!!!

Rear Fog Lamp
New Mod for Toyota Wish
Front Grille Garnish
Actually, the pre face lift model version looks even better. But to be honest, this will look great if it's chrome.

KenStyle emblems
Raymond is looking to replace the front logo and Justin mentioned that he wanted to swap out the Netz logo he put on the back.
This original Kenstyle Chrome emblem would actually fit the back portion of the car perfectly. It measures 108 X 70 mm. Only JPY3000. It will also fit the front bonnet garnish as there is already an oval frame. But of course, the black Netz background has to be removed. Otherwise, it will look odd. Personally, I will get the Original Toyota logo or just keep the Netz one. Getting too lazy to change unless it's really something special. Perhaps LX Mode.
Oh.. here's the smaller oval emblem. 80 X 50 mm. Only JPY2500.
Hmm.. I wonder if those not familar with Ken Style will mistake it for "Kiasu"? Most likely.
