The Isuzu Genuine Accessories consist of:
- Skirt, headlight garnish, and roof rail set for Isuzu D-Max: The skirt adds more urban to the car’s look while the headlight garnish brings a cleaner look. Additionally, the roof rail with options of black, dark grey or silver colors is capable of 400kg of load, requiring no holes for installation.
- Sports bar for D-Max with two options of color (Chrome and matte black): this connects with the under rail bed liner. Markedly, there’s an installation kit, which means no worries for extra hole punches on the body.
- Nudge bar for D-Max with two options of color (black and silver): it looks simple but performs a great work to protect the bumper and grille if confronting collisions.
- Side bar for D-Max with two options of color (black and silver): with the side bar, the rocker panel is safer to unforeseen collisions This rust-resistant bar also secures occupants’ safety when getting in or out of the vehicle with non-slip steps.
- Fog Ring chrome, over fender, and door handle trim for Isuzu MU-X: The Fog Ring chrome only works to beautify the fascia; the over fender works as a shield which keeps the stones and road objects away; the Door handle trim makes sure no scratches come on the door handle.
- Illuminated Rocker Plate for MU-X: used to make the steps more visible.
- Tonneau Organizer and Cover Box for MU-X: While the Cover is there to conceal stuff in the rear, the Organizer works as something to pave a way for a loading floor with the 3rd-row seat folded. The organizer also offers another layer for the cargo area so that we can gather small items such as those for emergency circumstances.
- Bull bar for MU-X: Made of steel and aluminum alloy to boost the tough look.
