Long time viewer, just joined. Glad to be a member on the forum.
Please excuse my question if it is a repeat or in the wrong forum as I did not find too much information pertaining to my question.
My question is aimed at those who have done it or have knowledge of it.
Do you guys know if GX 460 2nd generation (2011-2013) can be facelifted with (2015-2017) Prado's entire front (including front lights, bumper, and grille) and rear taillights? I do understand that in addition to Prado's side fenders & items listed above, front hood will also be needed for the facelift.
Since they use similar panels, I was of the impression that it might be a possibility but I was looking online at some parts and noticed that it had stated that Prado's taillights were not compatible with GX 460 (not sure if it was due to wiring being a little different or some other factor). Just wondering if compatibility will also be an issue even with the replaced parts mentioned in previous paragraphs.
Thank you guys much and look forward to hearing some informative answers.

Welcome to CL. Sorry but I haven’t seen anyone do a full Prado swap here. There is a member here that did a Prodo tail light swap. May I ask why you want the Prado look?
Never mind, I looked at the pics you posted and the Prado looks better than the GX....
good luck with the project. Let me know if you find a good source for the prado parts. I’m thinking about getting rid of the side steps and putting on the prado rocker panel.

Thanks for the link mate. I have found the conversion kit (including front and back lights, grille, and bumper) online but it comes without side fenders and hood and is overpriced.
I frequently travel a lot and will try to find the parts either in person myself, or through someone overseas and have them ship it here (unless I find a cheaper option online). For the gap that is present under goodtogo's taillight, I am thinking that using GX 460 taillight as sample, I can probably have someone attach a chrome or black bar underneath to fill in the gap. I can probably have them add the chrome/black to match GX 460's taillight shape so that it doesn't look odd when installed. I find this to be a cheaper solution than buying prado's entire back just to replace taillights.
