Enjoy the customization of an adult car that is not too flashy

Even cars with genuine customization have many compromises made to keep costs down because they are mass-produced cars. Therefore, you may feel that something is missing or want to pursue even more coolness. The appeal of a Custom is that you can pursue your ideals and create a one-of-a-kind vehicle that is different from other cars. Amutan”, a Daihatsu “Tanto Custom” driver introduced here, enjoys his customization in a mature atmosphere. 

The body was painted in Porsche’s original color, Platinum Silver

“Amutan” participated in the “King of K-Car Meeting vol. 9” held at Okayama International Circuit on June 9, 2024, and his Daihatsu L375 “Tanto Custom” was built with an emphasis on casual customization. The car looks as sleek as the factory model but is not. Although it looks as smart as the factory model, it is not, in fact, the factory model, and the way it is dressed up and tweaked differentiates it from the standard model.

The body color is all painted in Platinum Silver, a genuine Porsche color with beautiful transparency. The front bumper, side steps, and rear bumper are based on the Pregia Tissimo bumper and were originally modified and installed. A front-mounted intercooler was installed behind the center duct. The piping is mounted as part of the bumper’s left and right duct design, not just installed.

The muffler will be a WALD muffler cutter. As for the engine, it is in stock for now, but the air cleaner has been replaced with a power filter.

The interior creates a brilliant atmosphere

The interior is not as simple as the exterior and is coordinated with bright camel and black mesh fabric. The pillars and roof are black Alcantara, creating a gorgeous atmosphere.

Because this car is also used for commuting and shopping, there is no audio box or other equipment in the rear seats, as is common in custom cars, and the car is built to accommodate four people securely.

“Amutan’s customization may not be as flashy as a dress-up car. However, this kind of remake is full of elements that are appealing to owners who are not interested in flashy customization.

Although the standard Tanto Custom is called a “Custom,” there are many compromises that have been made to keep costs down because it is a mass-produced vehicle. By customizing these areas to your taste, your car will shine brighter and satisfy your desire for ownership even more. Amutan’s Tanto Custom is a car that can be a great reference from such a point of view.
