Hmm...looks like the round lights down in the corners are fog-only, not blinkers. If you don't have the new style headlights with integrated directionals, then you have to get a bumper with those ugly rectangular indicators cut into them...close, but no see-gar.

Baruta is what I see it called. Not sure if that's the company or model name.

In this shot it makes it look like it has an overbite.

And braces to address it.

I had to fight the urge to suggest swapping front bumpers to the 2017 Toyota style in a certain thread soliciting what a n00b should mod first...

Then the intake wouldn't fit and the pulleys weight savings would be wasted.

I didn't care for the front end on the MY17s either, but it has grown on me since I've had one for awhile now. The biggest problem with the 860s is the chrome Toyota badges with the matte black stripes ending right at the badge (especially the front since it points right to the badge). I swapped mine to the matte black and it looks a lot better now.

I'm glad to have not gotten the stripes, and immediately changed the badges to gloss black.

I believe you can request the dealers to remove the stripes?

Tokay444 11-28-2017 09:31 AM

I don't think Canadian cars got the stripes at all. They dealers knew their customers couldn't be swayed by such gimmickery.
