If u going JB can get from TRC or TT Motorsports, the shop near to TRC, they have PU lips and bottomline, cheaper than Singapore... Ahhhhh... lol, how did you know I will go JB? I see... Will do that... Thanks a lot... Planning to go once I got my funds ready... Want to install the vacuum and voltmeter gauges leftover from my previous ride and the stebel horns together if possible... Strange.. 2009 RIO don't have water temp... so strange.. not scared engine overheat? My 92 Civic used to overheat... scared this car will overheat if I push it too much...

i think if you read thru all his reviews, you would know that they are all positive. You will definitely feel a difference after you do SJ-CAI. More air driven into your car will allow u 2 hv better combustion and with the heat shield that he does, it'll keep ur ECU cool.

Yup! i did heat shield as well. I did SJ-CAI + drop in K&N filter + heat shield. there's an extra cost for the heat shield. If i'm not mistaken its $9* i tink. ask whitesnail aka Jason for a quote. I can't remb the individual price cuz i did everything @ 1 go.

nopez mine is not DIY. I bought it from E*press M*tion. Not very happy with it tho cuz the frame n the grille are separate. the grille is cable tied to the frame. from far looks nice lah bt when u look closer u will see the flaws.
If you're looking to get a 1 piece grille, Vim auto has. Or you can try mancando. Haha bro u're brave to DIY ur own grille lah. I dun dare.

yeah lah i get what you mean. I 1st time noob. I thought it's gonna b 1 piece. Thn when i went down 2 install tht time and realised its a 2 piece. I felt super cheated. the price i paid 4 the piece of crap was not worth it lah. But oh well, lesson learn.

the lips refer to the front diffusers and the bottomline refers to the additional side diffuser underneath the side skirts.
