Default Rebadging GX to Landcruiser Prado - Will It Work?

What's up everyone... long time lurker, first time poster.

I am currently driving my 2015 GX and absolutely love it and look forward to building a capable rig to take me out exploring. As someone who doesn't like having to say I drive a "Lexus" (I drive this car for what it is capable of and not because of the emblem on the grill), I am really looking to rebadge my GX with Toyota Landcruiser Prado badges to let those who aren't in the know, think i'm just driving a Toyota.

My question is... has anyone done this before? My GX does not have the forward radar built into front emblem so hoping that there is a Toyota badge for the grill that would be somewhat plug-and-play (i'm assuming that there might be a little tweaking needed to make it fit properly).

Thanks all,
Chris

Default Rebadging

Well there is at least one thread over on the ih8mud forum where some folks took on the re-badging project.

It can be done if you buy the whole kit or parts for it. I had changed the badges out on my 2013 and plasti-dipped the grill and factory wheels to change the look. It will get questions from 4 runner drivers.

You’ll need to make sure you get the correct size emblem as the size of the emblem is not a straight up swap due to sizes.

To get a 15 to look like a Parado, you’ll need the full parts swap.
