Where i can get the stuff from? Panel house on moss st in brisbane
Whats needed? plastic apron, chrome bumper, Sr5 Grill, radiator support, bonnet, headlights if you want SR5 style
Prices? shouldnt be any more than $800 for the kit
If its a DIY? Yes quite easily done yourself.
I recently put Sr5 lights in
Old lights, and stock side door mirrors

new lights and SR5 side door mirrors

synergy what did those lights set you back? also you should strip the black off your grill and paint your badge black, i did and it looks sweet as.

hey synergy got a question for you. are those mirrors you put on go on the actual door or are they where the quarter glass is on some hilux's?
does that make sense haha
and mate to go from a 2000 model to a 02 model front youll also need a new bonnet and front quarters as the whole lot is different
so i guess youll need bonnet,front quarters, lights, parkers, bar, apron, grill and rad support. im sure there would be a few more things. just hunt wreckers, forums and panel house to gather all the different parts
