Very nice for sure. A few odd things; someone put those accordion split plastic wire loom covers over a few of the hoses and part of the accelerator cable. The port/dealer installed roof rack is painted in a ?silver/gold-ish metallic paint, all I've seen were painted satin black. The rear hatch door lock is gold plated, the US models (with the Gold package) that I've seen where chromed. The front of the valve cover appears to have had something on it that wasn't cleaned off completely; did it have a 1FZFE label on it that came off and the adhesive was left behind??
Then there's non-OEM Fuel Injection emblem along with a multi-country flag emblem on the tailgate (from a GM vehicle??) and a Limited emblem that doesn't belong on the right front fender.
Either way, no doubt, a near perfect example.
Someone should download all the photos from BAT and place them in the FAQs for future reference ie: so others can check how this model looked when it left the factory with all the original installer/inspector paint marks, correct yellow chromate nuts and bolts, etc, etc. In fifty years they'll be less people around who will remember.
