Outside of the interior, it's sometimes not actually that hard to know that a car has been facelifted, especially for some car models like the Lexus ES, it's relatively easy to spot it with the Lexus ES, the front always looks slightly wider than the door areas, like two sections that were not suppose to fit together. What annoys me is when car dealers try selling a facelift as a newer model for the same price as the actual newer model; like bro, do you think everybody is stupid or what?. I can't imagine how many people would have bought old model cars thinking it was a newer model.
i swear my brother, infact this video gives me a huge clue to know that some of the cars many of our Nigerians dealers called newest versions are probably face-lift of older one and they will still go ahead and sell at very expensive price. is it not better to go buy those old cars and do the facelift myself to save some fund?
I just stumbled upon this channel and I must say I'm impressed, as a car enthusiast I've been watching top gear (UK car TV show) for about 20 years and this lovely work from a domestic production in Nigeria. More grease to your elbows. One thing though; speaking about interior upgrades, I have a 2008 Lexus IS250 (upgraded to 2014) and I installed the android infotainment system while watching the process on RUclips, and it was straight forward without any issues, I think it just depends on the product and the technician. If you plug the right wires into the right socket, everything should work perfectly fine.
Nice one bro.. facelift and Upgrade are two different things Sha. Facelift is when the car is redesigned and mended by the Brand Company itself which has been going on since the 70s, it's their own way of keeping the predecessor in market even when the successor is released. Upgrade is when you buy the facelifted model parts and fix it on the pre-facelifted model. it'll also be nice to mention that so people will know.
Again, great delivery. Love the way you 'Nigerianised' your reviews. Made it easier for an average Nigerian car owner/enthusiast to relate. Lots of useful info. You really are a breath of fresh air. On a lighter note, you don't seem to believe in OUR mechatronics/ auto electronics technicians in Naija! Why????😂😂
How to you take care of the paperwork. I mean when you upgrade a GX470 2007 to a Land cruiser Prado 2020 for example. How do you explain to a road safety officer that stops you on the road?
What a way to chill with " the boys " without breaking the bank. Then again them car kits can break your bank. It almost like buying that car you are face lifting twice 🤣
Pls Crank, c you do a video on electric gear shifter vs the traditional gear shifter? The prons and cons pls. God bless you for the great job you are doing Bro..
You said to be careful when buying an older version of cars facelifted to the price of a modern vehicle. So what are the things to check out for when buying a car to know if the interior and exterior were upgraded???
Kudos bro. Please help to announce some ladipo guys upgrading and body lifting camry to Lexus biko. This news should not go out to the world. How can they be cutting, welding and reshaping Camry to Lexus es350. Even oyibo wey do motor. Na robot join am o.
This is a good content. Can you make a list of good companies that do the face lifting and the prices they charge for doing it for different cars? That should be a vital infomation.
I saw an Highlander recently and the upgrade was maddd... Like very mad... It has longer horizontal tail lights and additional fog lights...bro I wish I snapped it that day
0:16 : That is not a facelift either, but rather a new model release that you showed. The car you first showed is actually a facelifted version of the 2010 RX. Nonetheless, nice concept. Would be sweet to come back to this channel in a year, and see you be a staple of RUclips auto review in Africa!
Hi 234drive exclusive if Corolla 2004 ( Uber car) which other car would you recommend for Uber that’s kinda sweeter and economical (fuel and maintenance) among Toyota Matrix 04, Toyota Corolla 08/10, Big daddy, Muscle
You didn't add glk..... As for the gwagon... The new body is wider and Cuvier than the old body. Well I know some upgraded cars from a far. Like upgraded lx570, old Prado, gwagon etc but I don't know about the Honda and camaro. Thanks for teaching
I drive a 2010 Lexus ES350, and I so much hate when people facelift this already perfect car. It's devalued when a car of older model is altered in the front to look new, while the back look still remains the older model, infact, from the look of it, it becomes funny and childish when I see a Lexus that is facelift because definitely the back still tell what year it is. Mine is left clean and sharp without any Upgrades, I focus on making it cleaner and solid. If I want a later year model, I will sell this one, add money and buy another year's model
Im an arab living in Canada but I love watching this channel.. lol
Just came across the channel! Great content I must say…I’m impressed we have this kinda channel available for Nigerians!
Glad you enjoy it! We are here to serve you o
This is what I opened the comments section to say.
Man Nigerians are something else 😂👏🏽 Love from the U.S ❤️
