Toyota LC200 restyling kit: checklist before you pay

Why you need a checklist before buying a facelift kit

A Toyota Land Cruiser 200 facelift kit — is an expensive, bulky set of parts. A mistake in the комплект can stop the install, increase the budget, or force you to buy parts after the car has already been taken apart at the workshop.

Before paying, it’s better to go through a short checklist. It helps you assemble the right kit for your exact vehicle and the desired final look right away.

What to clarify

1. Model year: 2007–2015, 2016–2021, or already converted.
2. Engine: petrol or 4.5 BiTurbo diesel.
3. Which look you want: Comfort, 2016 Executive, 2019 Executive, or 2021 Executive.
4. Whether the car has been in an accident.
5. Whether you need standard headlights or Black Edition / Lexus / Bugatti.
6. Which rear lights you need: Standard, Sequential Red, Red Plus, or Black.
7. Whether you need LED side steps.
8. Whether you need mirror caps or complete mirrors.
9. Whether you need moldings, a chrome package, a spoiler, or interior accessories.
10. Whether you have a workshop that will do a test fit before painting.

Which kit to choose

Don’t forget this for the diesel

If the vehicle is a 4.5 BiTurbo diesel, you need to add the intercooler lower plastic for diesel. Read more about this detail in the article LC200 4.5 diesel and facelift.

What to ask the installer

• Whether the first test fit will be done before painting.
• Whether they will check panel gaps between the hood, fenders, headlights, and bumpers.
• Whether they will check the fitment of the tailgate, tail lights, and rear bumper.
• Whether the installer has worked with large facelift kits before.
