JAKARTA - The GIIAS 2025 Exhibition which ended on August 3 presents a myriad of innovations, not to forget that many modified cars are also stuck and quite attracting attention.

As presented by Daihatsu at GIIAS, by cooperating with local modifiers, namely Gofar Hilman and NMAA (National Modificator & Aftermarket Association) resulted in three modified units, and two became the main magnets.

There is Gran Max Taft Guy carrying an off-road style with a modified front view which includes engine hood, headlamp, grip, front bumper, front turn signal, lower grille cover, turbo bastard wheel turbo, front feder R/L, and rooftop rack.

On the back view, the modification includes a very iconic mirror wing and is suitable for the road trip, a turbo plate bastard wheel R16, and not to forget the addition of a spare tie on the back to reinforce the strong impression. For the interior, modifications are made on the seat with a matching color and comfortable to use.

In addition, Gran Max City Pop also comes with modifications to the interior and exterior. The interior of the car is brown enriched by a typical Daihatsu Hijet element, while the front display is modified on the front turn signal, bumper, engine hood, bottom grip, upper grip bracket, front bumper, and headlamp.

In the back view, modifications were made to the front fender, turbo turbo bastard wheel, sideskirt L/R, rim turbo bastard wheel R16, GT radial savero SUV 215/65 R16 tires, ramp cover, rear combination lamp, rear bumper, tail gate handle add-on, and rear brake light. This car is dedicated as a DMASIV travel companion in his work.

The reason Daihatsu chose the Gran Max model is a modification base is because it is both a favorite customer model that has proven successful in the market. Gran Max has recorded sales of more than 870,000 units since it was first launched in 2007, making it the most popular semi-commercial car in Indonesia.

The process of modifying these three cars also involves NMAA. As a national-scale modified association, NMAA deployed its network and resources, including more than 8,000 MSMEs that are members of it. As many as 85 percent of the process of working on this modified unit involves local collaborators, as a tangible form of support for the growth of the automotive creative industry in the country.

In addition to aesthetics, modifications also strengthen car owners' character and lifestyle. Daihatsu is seen as an affordable car brand, very flexible, and can be adapted to various needs.
