Up front, the Mahindra Thar Black Hawk gets a custom-made grille and bumper. The grille features a mesh with vertical fins finished in red placed behind it. This red and black theme extends on to the bonnet and the rest of the bodywork.
Aftermarket additions also include projector headlamps with circular LED DRLs, front tow hooks finished in red, LED turn signals, roof-mounted LED auxiliary lights, a snorkel, and LED tail lamps. The custom Mahindra Thar rides on Maxxis Bravo all-terrain tires wrapped around 5-spoke alloy wheels in black with red highlights.
The custom job replaces the stock Thar's soft top with an FRP hardtop. The rear windows have grown in size as well. Inside, the rear jump seats have bee removed to free up space for cargo. The roof gets a Y-shape light, and a black with red highlights sheet covers the floor. There are no performance-oriented changes.
According to Cartoq, the total cost of the modification is INR 4.99 lakhs. The job takes 21 days to finish, and all parts are available individually making replacement easy if needed. The stock Mahindra Thar CRDe is priced at INR 9.25 lakhs (ex-showroom Delhi).
