Toyota Harrier

The Toyota Harrier has been a staple of the Toyota lineup for decades. The Harrier had been the Japanese market's equivalent of North America's Lexus RX, until recently. Starting from the 2020 model year, the Harrier's American counterpart is the Toyota Venza. Built on the same GA-K platform as the RAV-4, the new Harrier gets a sleeker, more sporty attitude.

Sportier Character

Given the sportier nature of the Harrier/Venza, it's so surprising that various aftermarket tuners have tried their hands at creating custom kits for the crossover. Even Toyota's own TRD built a GR version of the Harrier. The Wald International build may be slightly more tamed than the TRD, but it possesses just as much character.

Black and Chrome

The Wald build features a satin black paint which is nicely contrasted by the chrome trim. And the chrome is the most prominent aspect of the design of the kit, graphically creating a powerful stance. It also accentuates the lower ride height of the Harrier. And the larger custom chrome wheels compliment the rest of the design.

Modified Front Fascia

The kit is comprised of a custom chrome three-slat grille piece up above, which replaces the dark grey, single opening stock grille. Down below, the front bumper cover extension features more chrome trim, balancing the grille design and creating a visual point of interest and more aggressive ground effects.

Homogenous Design

The chrome trim visually continues through the extended side skirts and all the way back to the rear bumper cover, providing a homogenous aesthetic. At the back, the lower bumper cover features an aggressive diffusor design that also houses cosmetic quad exit exhausts. The design is similar to the iconic IS F design, but with the two pipes on either side overlapping.
