Please note: Performing any of these modifications will likely kill you and render your car inoperable and void international warranties that don't even exist. You'll probably even be fined. If you managed to get off with just a debilitating injury, consider yourself lucky. You have been warned, and I am hereby not responsible for you, your children, your wife or your dog.

Mini FAQ: Are you nuts? Doesn't modifying your expensive, irreplaceable vehicle void your warranty?
A: No fair, that's two questions. Modifying any vehicle does NOT automatically void your warranty, though I hear this all the time. Check the Federal Trade Commission website. the Magnuson-Moss Act is what answers this question. A car maker can refuse to repair under warranty any item found to have been damaged by "aftermarket" products or repairs, but they cannot void the warranty just because you had work done by "non-Toyota" people or have aftermarket products installed. If they cannot prove that an item or repair caused the damage, they remain obligated to their warranty. An example: I add a Manzanita conductive charger, and the next week my steering pump fails. That steering pump is still covered, though I've quite obviously modified the vehicle in important ways.
