These are not car parts. These are wall art
Like this wall at my office?
And I have another one hanging as well.

I thought the same thing but it's their sales tax collected at point of purchase. Can't fight it
Not interested in one but I appreciate the ambition, good luck with the importation process.
I'm with @GA Architect, aren't all fj40's and their parts a work of art.. @1971Cruiser good luck and thanks , keep us updated.

Just discovered this thread and impressed with your willingness to serve your fellow Land Cruiser addicts! Did you make it thru? Bummed i didn't see it earlier but if anyone changes their mind and doesn't want one i would buy for wall art. Am in Greenville SC!
I don't know the exact rule but I think you can fill out a form to get that 16% back from the government later. Same thing with the 16% tax you pay for your hotel stay:

Disclaimer: I have never been to Colombia but similar measures apply when traveling to UK so I looked it up.

Not all 63 had them and not even sure any 63s made in 63 had them. Finding accurate information for early Land Cruisers is hard to do. SOR has VIN back to 64 but have always list mid 63 as the date the three speed changed. Have very limited info on changes made by VIN not date. But nothing on bezels.
Finding the correct expanded metal grill with no provisions for the Toyota emblem is harder to do than finding a stamped bezel. Bought one from a member five six many more years ago. One of these days I need to open the box to be sure that's what's inside.
Instead of the T-bird thought one of the repo oval TOYOTA hood emblems would be cool. Instead of Toyota in the grill with it on the hood it would read Toyota
Land Cruiser
instead of
Land Cruiser
Toyota
Ya I know I have a problem
These are not car parts. These are wall art
To do it really do it right need to have a early bib to go with it. @Landpimp had one in his driveway. Believe it was on a motion sensor that turned on the head lights. Always thought it would be cool to do a complete front end with a couple inches of the hood and fenders. Mount to the a frame cut off just behind the front frame member. If I had any art talent would mount it on the garage wall and with pieces of drywall to make it look like it drove thru the wall.

Thank you for your efforts! I hope you made it home okay!
Love that idea!! I'll have to tell my daughter about this as she is real good with art (didn't come from me!). I don't have the money to do this, but I can sure dream.

Don't need money just the parts to do. Really want to go crazy add a PTO winch, front license plate bracket and factory fog lights. Adding the winch would require some extra bracing off the frame to help with the weight and leverage with the winch being off the wall further. That part not really art and could figure out. It's making the drywall looking like the cruiser broke thru it that's the problem. I think I might have cruiser pieces needed if I looked hard enough
My problem is that I don't have all the parts setting around like you do. I would have to spend money I don't have to get the parts I don't have. Plus, I don't have a garage or man cave to put it in. I would have a very difficult time getting my wife to go for that in the living room. I described your idea to my daughter, she liked it.

On the same lines, I was going to take the last two feet of a tub and frame and put them over the entry door of the shop. Rig the taillights to turn on with the counter lights so you could tell from the street if I was open for business.
did you make it back? any extras?
