What mods won’t void warranty?

[Krillin]

By the way, do you know if they are coming out with carbon mirror caps? That is the only piece that they don’t have. Seems like an obvious one to make.

I believe there is a company out there that makes them carbon88? I think?

That would be great. No rush. Let me know whenever is convenient for you. Don’t trouble yourself too much. I really appreciate it.

I saw them at Carbon Cartel, but I’m just worried they won’t match the Anderson carbon fiber pieces. Don’t know much about carbon fiber other than it’s light weight and great looking. Just assuming that different manufacturers use different materials or coatings.

If Anderson isn’t going to make them I’ll pick them up and if they don’t match just go without. Hoping I can find matching pieces for interior since mine already has the carbon fiber. Not even sur what pieces I would get inside. Carbon fiber is nice, but I don’t want to over do it. Thanks though. I check out that site as well.

I heard back from them today. At this moment they have no plans to make them.

Let me know if you are interested in the other items they offer or anything else as we offer just about everything!

Will do. Already making a list. First I need to get a few things fixed under warranty. Then I’m ordering the mods and after install getting everything ceramic coated. I appreciate you checking on that for me Nick. I’ll be sure to ask for you when I call bud.

Not sure if the same law carries to all other states, but here, It is on the dealer to prove that your mods caused the failure in order to void warranty. Always better to check with dealer first, but nonetheless Burden of Proof lies with them.

Don't know where you are at but the Mag. Moss Act. does state that the modification has to cause said failure. That means if FOMOCO states failure was caused by said modification it is up to the customer to prove it did NOT in fact cause the failure. The preponderance of evidence is on the customer not FOMOCO. That can be a lengthy process and incur timely litigation.

Yes, Mangnuson-Moss Warranty Act is federal law, and does require proof that aftermarket part caused failure/voiding of warranty coverage. The burden initially is on the dealer to prove that the aftermarket part caused the damage to the part(s) they are denying warranty coverage for. But, as pointed out, it can be an expensive uphill battle for the consumer, as misuse in general can be grounds to deny warranty service. The Act also only applies to the part's manufacturing defect(s). If you, say, mod your ECU, and you then have engine failure or driveline issues, it's pretty easy for the dealer/manufacturer to deny coverage due to use in excess of the specified/stock parameters. Caveat emptor.

Here's a something SEMA got the FTC to put out in 2010:

Spot on. It is amazing how many use the MM act as a point of refuge.
