    Not my taste, but from the pictures it does appear the Lexusesque conversion is pretty good

    I was expecting to hate it. But, I was too busy being impressed by how clean it was.

    I'm sure it cost more to do that conversion than just selling the truck for a GX. Lol

    But hey not my money on the conversion or buying it.

    I managed to both hate it and be impressed at the same time :p

    It really does seem to be very well implemented doubling down of a bad idea lol.

    Wouldnt these and the lexus plastic cowcatchers crack if you bump that front end against anything? If a kid kicks a soccer ball at it, etc? It’s quite an expansive piece of plastic to have to replace.

    It appears to have been done well but the question is should it have been done?

    Question might be who sells a 4xus / Lexunner conversion kit?

    Whew. Makes you wonder if whoever buys it will say, "Oh I love this honeycomb grill!" and have no clue...

    It's like the 4Runner had an incest kid with a GX460 and only the parents think that the kid is good-looking.

    You better not park them unsupervised in the same garage. You might wake up to one of those in the morning.

    Not sure how you could have such a disliking for the 10-13 front end. Maybe I’m biased since simple is sometimes better. This lexus abomination is hideous
