The Toyota C-HR is not a huge sales success in America, but it's still pretty common. However, like everything Toyota makes, the model is quite popular in Japan, where the funky styling we have problems with is going down a treat.
Many tuners have pasted their ideas onto the C-HR since its debut over two years ago. And one of them is Rowen International. The company that became famous for its Ferrari and Lamborghini packages also targets regular models and has been going into crossovers as well.

The latest piece to be added to this crossover is the markless grille, as they call it. It replaces the factory nose and makes the C-HR look much more pointy. The tricky part about this product and why it took so long to develop is that the ABS plastic inserts needed to be compatible with Toyota Safety Sense, allowing the millimeter wave radar pass. However, Rowen says it can't guarantee the range of the radar is the same.

This piece alone is about $400 including color-matching paint. However, a variety of other parts are available for this crossover, as you can probably tell from the photos. At the front, we see a new hood with lots of vents, a new lower bumper with a gigantic chin and LED lights and inserts for the lights.

Every skirt and spoiler has a bunch of little winglets or meshes to make it look more muscular. The stance is also adjusted, and extra LED lights have been added. Side skirts and fender flares can also be tailored, while the back sports an available Lexus F-style quad exhaust tip setup and a new diffuser. We bet you're really curious how a 120 horsepower 1.2-liter turbo engine sounds when it has as many tips as cylinders, so here you go.
