Do you recall the Toyota Lite Ace van Atoy Customs customized a few months ago? Another van was made by the shop, and boy is it a looker. Not only were there added seats in the back, but it also received a redesign that transforms it from a utility vehicle into a legitimate minivan.
To start, why did Atoy Llave and his team undertake this project? The local Lite Ace, though, isn’t exactly what one would call family-friendly. First off, there aren’t any back seats, and there aren’t any windows either. air conditioner in the back? Disregard it.

The Lite Ace, however, is a fantastic canvas for any bespoke project. The van itself is excellent for various sticker (in this case, vinyl) jobs, and the space at the back allows up a ton of possibilities. Atoy Llave and company precisely altered the van in that manner.
What makes this vehicle different, then? In the second row, there are two captains’ chairs, and for good measure, there is also a third row. This Lite Ace now technically has six seats. Everyone on board is secure because seatbelts are also present. Those chairs weren’t just there by accident, according to Atoy Customs.
If you’re unsure whether the van can accommodate it, you should know that it can carry 790kg in payload. It still falls short of the maximum rating even when six passengers weighing 80kg apiece are added to it. Of course, don’t anticipate a quick van.

Perhaps the windows on this specific Lite Ace caught your attention. Llave claims that in order to make it as sturdy as possible, including those windows required more study and development. In order to preserve rigidity and increase the strength of the frames, it uses double mold construction. The development of such windows took the build team more than six months, according to Llave.
Being Atoy Customs, the remainder of the inside also receives a slight makeover. The sliding doors now have trims, and the panels in the lower portion of the cabin have been improved. The vehicle includes air conditioning in the back, so rear passengers won’t have to sweat. The majority of the lower part of the body is covered in stickers on the outside, and the tailgate spoiler adds some style.
So, how much is the total cost? You’ll have to pay P300,000. Llave asserts that you can combine and contrast the components you like for greater customization. You have the option of leaving the stripes off or only adding the second and third rows of captain seats. The customer has complete freedom of choice.
