It looks like the 95-96 has two thick slats instead of 3 thinner ones. Never really noticed that, although I thought someone once mentioned that the grille changed in 95, along with the headlight housings, fogs, trunk badge, and tails.

okay cool.

I think the grill for the windom 20 looks better and costs less. They both kind of look the same.

I found a couple of other grills but all thats listed is phone numbers.

That eBay one appears to be the stock 97-99 grille, rather than a 92-96 grille that has the same look. So, I'm not sure if it will fit a 92-96. But if somebody picks it up for cheap and wants to experiment, let us know how it works.

i've always wondered on the compatibility of the 97-2001 grille on a 92-96 lexus. maybe i'll try it with my grandpa's Lexus sometime. since he has a '99 and i have a '93.

i wonder how well the bolts actually work together. it'd suck if they don't match...

but i'm gonna have to wait until the car gets back from the body shop. i hate people who think they can make a left turn, but end up causing this huge accident. they caused at least $15k of damage to my grandpa's Lexus. me and my bro are looking at a call for "total loss" but who knows.
