I did that too on my former '13. Pretty easy and inexpensive to do. I like the look too. I didn't live the hokey way I had to attach the badge though - it was a bit agricultural if you looked at it up close.

Nice. Did you paint your front recovery points or did you replace them with red ones?
 
Those were ARB recovery points. They came in red. I got them from Cruiser Outfitters.
 
Finally completed a few small cosmetic mods on my LC200 to offer a personal homage to some Land Cruiser heritage:
1) grill change for a glimpse of the FJ60 grill lettering (hints of LC300 grill too)
2) side badge from the FJ40
3) color matched chrome emblem in back for letters to pop like either the LC100 or the LC300

i really wanted to - but ended up with the GCC spec grille which I love

any details on your lighting in bumper install? over heating issues?

That looks great! The only thing I would change is trying to paint match the outside border of the front grill (green), but the black still looks great as it is.

I had a few folks contact me about where I purchased the grill. The photo in the link below shows a non-U.S. version of the LC200, but it turned out to fit the US LC200 just a fine. It has a couple clips less than the OEM grill but made no difference. I painted some of the trim and the GR badge to keep it black. They also sell a version that light up which I passed on.

If you plan to do this project, just wanted to share a couple learnings. There are 2 clips on the top of each side and about 6 clips across the bottom. For the 2 top clips on the side, there's a female receiving clip that can pop out and drop to the bottom so be careful (see photo). For the bottom clips, it's difficult to push and release the clips on the bottom left, but I found you can see it through a slot in the filter enclosure above it (see photo).

@rtong1234 Thanks for the inspiration on this new grille. I just installed mine. Covered the side bars with gloss black vinyl, painted the Toyota letters in flat aluminum, and added some monochrome vintage Toyota racing stripes over the GR emblem. Looks even better in person than in the photo.

Great job! That black and monotone look with the black CO plates is fantastic! Enjoy! Every time I turn the corner and see my LC with that grill it makes me smile.

I really dig this TRD Pro/Heritage style grille for the 2016+ 200, they black out the 'Toyota' in the listing I guess for copyright reasons but it's there. The illuminated/integrated running light section is kinda cool but I could take it or leave it. The main drawback to these Chicom grilles is that they don't accommodate the front facing camera so you still have to modify it for that mount. I keep hoping that they will eventually integrate the camera mount because it would satisfy the look and blacking out the grille without having to paint.


Here is a pic of one on a well known @IG account. Notice that he modified the grille to mount the front facing camera.

This is still available on eBay
too bad there is no workaround for the radar, but I love how this brings in the 300 GR Sport look
