Changing to cold air intake and issurance problem

A TRD intake kit, even if it has been installed by toyota will void my insurance (not the warranty)

You already have all the answers you need. You can't mod your car with any aftermarket part, even if it's made by Toyota, and keep your current insurance.

Any questions? Am I missing something? This sounds pretty crazy to me.

So, you can't put different wheels on it? How about new tires?

Exactly. He loses his insurance if he modifies his car so he shouldn't. He should just drop in the k&n filter like he said he wants to do and maybe buy some lower weight parts for the car in the future like lighter rims, battery or hood/trunk lid. . Anything else won't give him what he wants and will void his insurance.

Yea, wheels, performance mag, suspension shocks, or any "normal" cosmetic changes to the body are allowed. Except this insurance company only cover up to $2000 if im not mistake.... (or maybe 5k) i will have to double check.

Any changes to the engine will void the insurance. I can add a trailler hitch and pull a camping trailer and i will still be covered even if the Yaris isn't meant to pull a trailer and that by doing so you are more prone to a car accident than changing "say" the Intake. That is the illogical part of the deal. This insurance company just don't want performance modded tunned cars Fast & Furious type of cars if you know what i mean.
But minor cosmetic and basic quality changes (like tires+mag) is ok with them. That's what they told me anyway.

By the way, in case someone is wondering about adding roofrack, here's a pic of my Hatchback with a Roofrack fairing combined with a rally spoiler just don't look at the dirts..
