New Fortuner with blacked out grill

[Stealth Fortuner]

Toyota Sydney in Glebe do some great work modifying standard cars - ruggedizing or just painting out chrome. I got my new car on saturday with most of the chrome painted black..including the chrome around the headlights...stealth-like. It would look even better with black mags but that was a bit expensive.

Very nice.

Hi Stealth Fortuner and welcome to the forum!

Very fresh look on that Fortuner! Hope it serves you well and cheers for sharing a pic of your unique looking vehicle.

Cool.

I was wondering if the grey trim on my white GX would look better painted black or white. I have the black steel bar so was wondering about a whole black and white theme.

I love the "black theme" especially on a white car. Have not purchased 4tuna yet but am also looking at all black. Black alloy wheels, black Kaymar rear bar, would also like the ARB Safari bar if they ever make one or perhaps the TJM T3? bar - with either of these I want the chrome hoop also blacked out either painted or powder coated, same for the alloy checker plate on the ARB/TJM side steps.
One day soon.

Hi Stealth Fortuner,

Are u aware if Toyota Glebe does it as an aftermarket option?

If I wanted to get my grille painted black as well, would they be willing to do it?

Can any of the others recommend places in or around Sydney that might do this type of work?

Thanks.

does anyone know what is required to get the paint to stick to the chrome and toyota grill? wife is picking up a white gxl fortuner and i'd love change everything that is chrome to black! (and my hilux too!)
what can and cant be done?
- front grill
- the key less door handles (i dont want a stick on cover)
- side mirrors
- hilux badging
can it be as tough as the original chrome?
as a side note i've heard its about a 6 month for the factory fitted black bits from the rugged x to become available... easy fix for my hilux but still need to sort the front of the fortuner out

Save your original grille and replace it with one of these types off eBay.
