Put in my Toyota Premium Horn set!
Figure about 1.5 hours to install.
I used both of the standoffs included in the kit. Some complain the horn will hit the grill. But if you place it in the correct hole it WILL fit! Also, you have to make sure the horn "trumpets" are level so this way they JUST fit. I did'nt want my horns either blocking or touching the radiator, so I followed the instructions sheets and used all the included parts. They are NOT in English. But, the pics are good. They sound exactly like they do on the Toyota JP website too. A great product, and worthy mod...

Good to "hear" you got them in. How much did you pay and where
did you get them? I recently had to lay on the horn when a female driver tried to make a left turn from the right lane. If my Mom wasn't in the car at the time, I would have yelled a few choice words as well. So, I have been thinking about this mod for that instance. Hey, in the third pic, the Toyota name isn't straight! j/k Where's the mod to get the instructions in English? |

This car definitely needs a horn upgrade.
I want to do one for sure. Just trying to figure which one. I want a loud one, but don't want to pay a lot. I know a lot of people seem to like that 139 dB Stebel Nautilus one. Actually I found one of those *HIDDEN* at O'Reilly Auto Parts. The packaging is generic. It just says Ultimate Blast Horn or some crap on it, but if you look inside the plastic packaging it says Stebel Nautilus right on it! $52 in the store though. Seems kinda pricey.

Got the horns from JDMpit on Ebay, about $120. Ships from HK. It came to NY in only 4 days though...

I think I'll just "tootle them melodiously" with my standard horn. Don't use horns a lot here. Leaning on a really loud horn would likely be the start of a gunfight.

Here in Philly they come out shooting after fender benders. Who knows what theyd do for getting honked at? Actually the stock horn is pretty loud.

In any case, gunfight shmunfight, this is DETROIT and I still want a louder horn. Here people shoot children in the face for looking at them the wrong way. That's a true and recent story.
