Those are the largest wheel that will fit without "having problems with the size of the wheel well"?

People are effing incredible, if the dealers are assholes, they are wrong and if they are nice, they are wrong too.


Good job, Headquarter Toyota!

Thanks Sportsguy83. We're glad some people can appreciate a simple video showing off a cool car. We here love cars and love when customers show what they have done with their cars.

We actually are striving to promote a different type of car buying atmosphere and that includes happy customers. We have worked very hard to show that through customer reviews and asking customers to let others know that we are not your traditional type of dealer. We don't play games and we do business differently. Treating customers like family. That's another reason why we share this video.

As far as for negative comments regarding the content, this was a pure and simple video. These are all things we learned about these parts in talking with the owner about what he bought and how he was using them. He continues to work on it and we are excited to see what else he does with it in coming months. He didn't disclose where he got the parts, but only mentioned that they came from companies in Japan or were ordered from Japan. I do not know, however if that applies to all of or only some of those parts. As I said, he didn't get them from us. We just thought it was cool. Thanks Sportsguy

M3- Yes We did mention that decal. We know he hasn't modified the engine yet, although he did say he had plans to do so in the future. At present its only the decal until he does make the modification, but he said that was coming soon. We will see it closer to December from what he told us.

#87 Yes the arm rest is his custom creation and patent pending. He has agreed to make them available through us. Thats the only item that is expected to be available, but isn't just yet.

Travace- The only item like that in the video is the arm rest and that is true only because the customer made it.

ohh and claiming that the sharkfin will give better radio? funny i read that its the opposite

it dont matter dude... you can come on here and say all you want... its right there floating around on the screen... its a promotion video for the dealership. Call it what you want but if you just wanted to show off dudes car then there is no need for all the adverts.

I think we can agree a salesman in general is not the most knowledgeable person with cars (unfortunately). But I see the bigger picture here (since I know the backstory and mind you, I don't know it through Headquarter Toyota, I know it through the car owner).

It is a dealer being friendly with a customer and recognizing a customer who put his signature in the car.

Ok Travace, you don't like the video, I think the point has been well taken. Now move on since you have nothing else to say about it.

What adverts are you talking about. We clearly were just pointing out the stuff he did for his vheicle. So we mention who we are and that this was filmed at our dealership. We say it twice. Otherwise we thought it was a fun way to show off his custom job cause its nice and will be going to the Auto show.

Headquarter, no need to keep the discussion going. travace made up his mind, and nothing will change it. Some people will not like the video others will appreciate it. That's the way the internet goes. I say again, good job and hope you guys can keep growing the dealer/customer relationship.
