That looks pretty good. I wonder where the spare goes?

If you read further down the page - there is a disclaimer in "Engrish":
Spare Tyre Less Rear Gate will take off the spare tyre from the rear gate. Please carry puncture repair kit or anything similar for it. We are now planning fitting kit which to fit the spare tyre inside the compartment.


...and very, very expensive.  The "Spare Tyre Less Rear Gate" alone lists for ¥285,000.  At todays exchange rate of $1.00 = ¥112, that comes out to $2,544.65. Installation and painting not included.

I could not find prices on the bumper or the imitation dual exhaust, but if they are priced anywhere near as what the spare tire less rear gate is, your looking at $4,000 to $6,000 easy for the new look.  Hardly worth it in my opinion.

'06 Jeep Liberty - Light Khaki Metallic - Auto - 4WD
'06 Suzuki Grand Vitara - Beige Metallic - Auto - 2WD (SOLD)
'04 Chrysler Crossfire - Shaphire Silver Blue - 6 Speed
'99 Jeep TJ - Chili Pepper Red - 5 Speed - 4WD
'94 Honda Civic SI - Milano Red - 5 Speed

Price aside - have to admit it adds a clean-line to the back end.  Hopefully Suzuki will offer this as an option package for future models.  Personally, I'd like to see a "true" dual exhaust kit - one that adds more horsepower instead of the cosmetic version offered through Suzuki.  If you want to see what a heavily-modded GV can do - check out this 1000 bhp twin-turbo rally edition GV:

Now that's my kinda' off-road monster!

I like the rally car, but not as much as the Dune concept... http://www.conceptcarz.com/vehicle/z10368/default.aspx
