2023 to 2019 grill swap?

[HeadacheManNYC]

Hi all,

Apologies if there is already a thread on this..considering picking up a 2023 GX460 and wondering if the new grill can be swapped with the 2019 and older style without too much modification. Anyone done this?

Quite a few people have swapped the 2020+ grille onto older GX's so I assume the opposite would work, I just haven't seen it.

Why in the world would you want to do this? I can’t wait to swap to the newer style grill

For me its a more OG vibe and the black lower panel makes the front end seem more compact/cohesive.
Not sold on the idea yet - just musing.

Someone would trade with you the parts I am sure.

Look through Mr. Torque's build. I believe he has one on his rig.

I've got a ton of plans, but I started off small and cheap-ish first since I am also building up our 470 too. Here's a link to the products purchased: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/mr-torgues-2010-gx460-build.1236381/post-13558055 Here she is on Day 1 all nice and clean... The first...

Because he wants it to look better.

A subjective thing, obviously. But I agree with him.

Did this backdate grill swap every happen? I want to do the same.
