Toyota Land Cruiser 200 2007-2021 Facelift conversion kit from LC200 2008-2015 to 2021 Executive

Description

The 2021 Executive facelift kit (manufacturer 1234 Upgrade, China) converts the pre-facelift Toyota Land Cruiser 200 2007–2015 into the look of the LC200 2021 Executive: both bumpers, the hood, fenders, headlights, taillights, and the tailgate are replaced, while the 2021-design grille and black Executive trims fit the 2016+ facelift base. Compared to the 2016 Executive and 2019 Executive kits, it differs by the grille and the front trim in the 2021 design, and compared to the 2016 Comfort it also has Executive trims; for LC200 2016–2021 a full facelift is not required.

The bumpers, hood, fenders, and tailgate come unpainted, and installation is into factory mounting points.

For Land Cruiser 200 ("200"), there is a clear cutoff — the 2016 facelift. Before and after it, the bumper, headlights, grille, hood, and tailgate differ, so individual parts of the new design are not fitted to the old body: the bumper or trims alone are not enough, they switch with a complete set where all elements are matched to each other. Buyers also call this switch "changing clothes" into the new 200. Note: the vehicle’s model year and the parts’ design year are different things, so selection is based on the body and what is currently installed on it.

What’s included in the kit

Front end:

• front bumper 2016–2021 for painting and fog lights assembled (2 pcs);
• front Executive 2021 trim (black color);

• headlight "eyebrow" trims for 2016–2021 that go from the grille and overlap the headlights;

Installation: a fastening kit for conversion to facelift — bumper and fender mounts and other installation elements.

The tailgate glass is not included: it is the same for pre-facelift and facelift, so it is transferred from your vehicle to the new tailgate. The kit is shipped in nine packages with a total weight of about 121 kg, the largest box is 230 × 50 × 50 cm.

Painting and trim color

The bumpers, hood, fenders, and tailgate come unpainted. The front and rear Executive trims come already in color — the configuration on the website specifies black. Please confirm the trim color with the manager when ordering; if your vehicle color is different, the trims will also need to be painted to match the body color.

For which vehicles

• Land Cruiser 200 2007–2015 — the main purpose of the kit: a full conversion of the pre-facelift body to the 2021 Executive look. It is also appropriate when after an accident you still need to replace the bumper, hood, or fenders: instead of restoring the old look, you can switch to the new one right away.
• Land Cruiser 200 2016–2021 — a full facelift is not required because the body is already in the new design. To get the 2021 Executive look, the Executive 2021 body kit is enough, and the 2021-design grille can be purchased separately.
• A vehicle that has already been partially converted — for example, after a front-end repair. Here they ориентate not by the year in the registration, but by the bumpers, hood, and fenders actually installed: send the manager photos of the vehicle from the front and rear so they can confirm which items from the kit are needed.
• A vehicle with a tow bar — mention this when ordering: the rear bumper and trim are checked against the tow bar cutout and the exhaust location.
• Diesel 4.5 BiTurbo — the kit includes intercooler ducting for the gasoline version; for the diesel a different part is needed: intercooler ducting for 4.5 diesel. It’s better to order it together with the kit so installation does not stop halfway.

How LC200 facelift kits differ

All kits convert Land Cruiser 200 2007–2015 to the post-2016 design, but the final look differs. The main difference is in the Executive trims and the grille design:

• 2016 Comfort — a basic facelift without Executive trims, grille in the stock 2016 design. For those who simply want to refresh the vehicle.
• 2016 Executive — facelift base plus front and rear Executive 2016 trims, grille in the 2016 design. A classic premium look for 2016–2018.
• 2019 Executive — grille in the 2019 design, front Executive 2019 trim and rear Executive 2019/2021 with chrome. A fresher but restrained option.
• 2021 Executive (this kit) — grille in the 2021 design, front Executive 2021 trim and rear Executive 2019/2021 with chrome. The closest to the final production years of the LC200 before the Land Cruiser 300 appeared.

You can choose Comfort and later buy the Executive 2021 body kit and the grille separately. But if you already know you want the 2021 Executive look, the ready set is simpler: one purchase, one selection, and less risk of forgetting a part — all items are already bundled in the configuration.

How to install

This is not a decorative trim on tape, but a full body facelift: bumpers, hood, fenders, lights, tailgate, plastics, and mounts are replaced. Parts install into factory mounting points, but the quality of the result depends on fitting, so the work is entrusted to a service shop with a painter and body technician. Bumpers usually fit close to OEM, while large stamped parts — hood, fenders — may require gap adjustment. You can install the kit at the network of certified DD Tuning service centers — the manager will advise the nearest center.

The main rule is do not paint the parts before the first test fit. The correct sequence:

1. Remove the old vehicle parts.
2. Test-fit the new parts without painting.
3. Check the fitment of the hood, fenders, headlights, grille, bumpers, tailgate, and Executive trims.
4. Set the gaps between parts, check mounts, plastics, and lighting.
5. Paint the parts to match the vehicle color.
6. Do the final installation and connect the lighting.

If you paint first and then adjust gaps, the risk of repainting and extra costs increases.

What to combine it with

The kit changes the front and rear of the vehicle. To make the sides and interior match the 2016+ style as well, it is often complemented with:

• mirror caps with turn signal in the 2016 style;
• door moldings 2016–2021 and door handles in the NEW design for the 2008–2015 body;
• side steps with LED illumination;
• front fender liners 2015–2021 — facelift liners differ from pre-facelift ones, so for the new bumpers and fenders they usually buy new ones;
• R20 alloy wheels in the 2016 design;
• interior upgrade kit to 2016;
• a spoiler — the tailgate is painted anyway, so it’s convenient to paint it together with it.

Some parts of the kit can be replaced with tuning options: Black Edition front headlights instead of standard ones, Sequential Red or Sequential Black rear lights, 2016+ LED rear fog lights instead of regular ones. Such substitutions are agreed with the manager when ordering. Other options are in the section facelift kits for Land Cruiser 200.
