Terrible.
Lowers the entry and departure angles meaning it's gonna be ripped off pretty quick when off-road.
Grille looks tacked on.
Not sure if it would even fit an AU prado as rear mud flaps look like they aren't there. Or would fit.
AU Prado don't have twin exhaust. No towbar hole.
It's a no from me. -
well that white prado photo is the car with just the grill from the package. It might lower the entry and think it depends on the owner decision if he/she wants the car for looks or for off road. The attention of the kit is not for off road use. its meant to be for city use.Comment

I think you will find most of the users of this site will hate it, as I would take a stab in the dark that 95% of the user base get off the black top.
That said, I am not a fan either. :P The front bumper cover looks like a fake bullbar.[B][2007 GXL 120 3.0L D4[COLOR="#FF0000"]D[/COLOR] Auto][/B] [I]Mods:[/I] [COLOR="#DAA520"]Bilstein [/COLOR][COLOR="#0000FF"]Shocks [/COLOR]& [COLOR="#DAA520"]King [/COLOR]2" Lift Springs - 265/70/17 [COLOR="#3366ff"]Cooper [/COLOR]AT/3s Tyres - [COLOR="#FF0000"]ARB [/COLOR]Deluxe bullbar - LED Spotlights & Worklights - Snorkel - [COLOR="#008000"]BushSkinz [/COLOR]bash plates - 2.2m Alloy Overlander Full Rack - 2.5m [COLOR="#8B4513"]Wanderer [/COLOR]Awning - [COLOR="#FF0000"]GME [/COLOR]TX3120S UHF & [COLOR="#FF0000"]GME [/COLOR]AE4703 6.6dBi - [COLOR="#FF8C00"]Milford [/COLOR]Cargo Barrier - [COLOR="#FF0000"]JVC [/COLOR]indash DVD - [COLOR="#FF8C00"]Maxtrax [/COLOR]- Pulling a heavily modified [COLOR="#3366ff"]Jayco [/COLOR]Dove Pop Top CamperComment

yep looks crap. If you want car like looks buy a car.Comment

Nothing to do with the effect on angles or off-roadability but it looks amateurish or home made.
It doesn't look like it has a purpose;
It doesn't make it look bold and butch
It doesn't make it look elegant
It is certainly not stylish and it has no flair.
And most importantly, it doesn't look integrated. The grill is unspeakable and would only have merit if it could be detached and used as a campfire grill.
It will have the effect of making your Parado stand out but I suspect not for the reasons you hoped for.

well i see what you mean. The front bumper support is stock from the dealer and the kit requires the bumper support (fake bullbar as you called it) to be removed.Originally posted by Killswitch View PostI think you will find most of the users of this site will hate it, as I would take a stab in the dark that 95% of the user base get off the black top.

So let me understand you guys in Aus dont stance out your 4x4 vehicles? its been a common thing in Asia and the US where 4x4 are lowered and stanced out. i know they are not practical for off-road use but there are owners who like these setups.Comment

You are correct sweatpea. The purpose of a 4x4 is to have clearance when it comes to off roading and this kit doesnt support that. i didnt know that you guys are hardcore off-raoders.Originally posted by sweetpea View Post

See Killswitch post above. Our cars go off road. A day in the dirt would see all of that tacky crap fall off.Comment

Stanced.... a Prado....Originally posted by pradocoupe View Post
I presume you signed up here to try and sell these kits, based on Piggys post yesterday.
We like getting our cars dirty, not making them look pretty.

Looks very conservative to me. I don't hate it, but I don't think it adds anything either.Greg - 08 D4D Prado,
