We have covered numerous Fortuner modifications including Lexus kit, Legender conversions and generation changes. Today, we will cover one such Fortuner which is modified to feature a unique theme along with the classy Lexus. The project is carried out and shown on YouTube by popular automotive workshop, Autorounders.

The host shows the before condition of the car which was an accidental type 2 Fortuner. The car had to be restored and repainted. Hence, the customer decided to give the car a makeover by opting for the Lexus kit along with a different exterior color combination. The car had suffered great damage from the accident and the entire front profile of the SUV was destroyed.

Now, let’s discuss what’s unique in this Fortuner which makes it different from other modified Fortuners. The color combination chosen by the customer for this SUV is light blue with bright orange. This theme is inspired from Gulf Racing cars which feature the same theme. The entire body of the car is painted in blue with a orange strip in the middle. The strip starts at the bonnet and ends at the tailgate.

Additionally, the front bumper, doors and the rear bumper get a sleek orange line. The overall color combination is complimented by theOEM alloy wheels painted in black with orange hub cap. Multiple stickers with round white background and a 6 are added.

The Lexus kit for Toyota Fortuner comes with a bolt on fitment which means that the parts can be directly installed without the need for fabrication. The Lexus body kit includes front bumper, grille, headlight, fog lamps, taillights and rear bumper.

The video highlights how work is done in Autorounders. The details about each project are carefully discussed and only then a decision is made. The entire work process is shown in the video as well which starts with the stripping down of parts, repairing, painting and then finally the assembling to give the SUV the final look. The host adds that this is the first car they have done in the Gulf Racing theme and all the paint materials used by them are imported from Germany.

The theme of the cabin has been changed as well to match the exterior. The interior of this Toyota Fortuner gets a light blue and black theme with orange inserts. The team has given their best which can be easily seen from the work. The door pads are surrounded with a orange border which looks stunning and premium.

Additionally, multiple orange elements are added all over the cabin. The host specially highlights the seat covers which are made in house by them.

The seat covers, finished in suede, also follow the same theme of blue and orange. The video beautifully shows the final look of the car with some cinematic shots in the mountains. These shots show the Toyota Fortuner in its true essence.
