Just like in any other case, the workshop starts by taking down the stock bumper, headlamp, grille of the SUV. Once this was taken down, all the small dents and scratches on the SUV were marked and corrected using a dent puller machine. Once the dents were pulled out, a thin coat of putty is applied on the body panels to achieve shape and even look. Excess putty was then removed from the panels and then the car was taken to the paint booth.

A coat of primer was applied on the car here. Once the primer had dried out, a coat of pearl white paint was sprayed on to the car. A clear coat was also applied to achieve a glossy finish. The front grille and the bumper was replaced with an aftermarket Legender unit. The stock headlamps were also replaced with Legender LED lamps. The fog lamps are LED too. Coming to the side profile, the dual-tone finish on the car was not there anymore, the car is now done in single-tone and the alloy wheels are the same as pre-facelift models.

At the rear, the bumper was replaced with a Legender unit and the tail lamps are also LED units. There is a chrome garnish on the tail gate with illuminated Fortuner branding in it. As mentioned above, the owner of this car also wanted the interior to be customised. The stock interior was all-black and was giving the cabin a cramped look. The seat covers and door pads were all removed and all these areas were wrapped in genuine Italian leather. The beige colour seat covers were custom made and they were fitting perfectly. The roof liner was changed and it also gets starlight roof. The intensity of the light and the colour can be changed using a mobile application. Overall, the car was looking brilliant with all the modifications outside and customisations inside.
