I did ask for TRD parts when i first called the insurance company for the CAI. Cosmetic TRD are allowed, except TRD parts that boost the engine performance. Those TRD items are also prohibited by their in-house policies.

A TRD intake kit, even if it has been installed by toyota will void my insurance (not the warranty)

The warranty is not really a problem. I only have 25k miles left on the engine warranty (about a year left) anyway. The problem is with the insurance company.


Anyway, tomorrow i'll just replace the stock paper filter and put a K&N one... I may also add a rear rally spoiler.
