Giving the Hijet light truck a "armor"! The impression has dramatically changed with double-sided tape installation customizations

The light truck is gaining presence as a leisure vehicle for farming and camping. Just a slight change to the front allows for considerable customization to your liking. Let's upgrade to a distinctive and powerful ride!

Customize the face of the light truck to suit your preferences

It's the Daihatsu "Hijet Truck," which can carry a heavy load and has great maneuverability. It's not only useful for work but also a fun vehicle to take along for hobbies like camping and fishing. If you're using it almost every day, you’ll naturally want to express your individuality. However, serious modifications like bodywork can be quite a challenge. That's where FE WORKS' "TACK SERIES" caught my attention.

Creating a tough expression with horizontal and vertical lines.

The lineup consists of four types. The first thing that catches the eye is the "Headlight Garnish," which tightens the area around the headlight. It adds an accent to the usual eye area, enhancing the presence of the front mask.

The "Top Protector Panel" adds horizontal lines to the upper front. In contrast, the "Bumper Side Garnish" emphasizes vertical lines, allowing for a three-dimensional expression when combined.

And then, the "Under Garnish" tightens the lower area. By adding a black accent at a low position, it maintains a tool-like feel characteristic of mini trucks while creating a tough atmosphere. It’s great to install all four types together, of course, but it’s also nice to enjoy changing the expression by incorporating just your favorite parts.

No drilling needed; it's applied with double-sided tape and the skills of a local factory.

The installation is primarily based on special double-sided tape, requiring almost no modifications to the vehicle body. Bolts are only used for two points on the Under Garnish. The ease of doing it on a weekend afternoon as an extension of car washing is appealing.

Produced by FE WORKS, a local factory in Zama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, which has engaged in vacuum forming (a molding method that adheres heated and softened resin to a mold) for nearly 60 years. The material is AES resin, which is strong against outdoor conditions, lightweight yet has a three-dimensional feel. Hearing that the finishing edges, inspection, and fitting confirmation are all done by skilled artisans by hand conveys the meticulousness behind the convenience.

Transform your usual light truck into a unique ride

Compatible models include Daihatsu "Hijet Truck" and "Jumbo" S500P and S510P later models. Depending on the presence of fog lamps, you can choose between a 3-point set and a 4-point set. Some parts may have compatibility issues with aftermarket components, so it's reassuring to check before purchasing.

Since it’s the partner you ride every day, just a little modification can deepen your affection for it. Whether it’s a morning heading to work or a day out camping, seeing your light truck in the parking lot lifts your spirits. Why not try out such a custom?
