Not that any of you will really care.....
.....but last year I did an ES300 front end swap on my Camry. Wasn't too bad, except the bondo job I did on the fenders looked like a 4 year old with playdo. So I'm finally teaching myself body work and in the process of making it look better.
1st set of pics are form last year. 2nd set is me currently trying to make it look better. And this is my 1st ever "real" attemp at body work, with no clue what I'm doing. haha I'm so screwed.

^WTF are you doing up? Go to bed and go help Joe finish his 250ES front end swap, lol. Not sure if you knew but he has the lights, grill, hood, and fender on. Fenders should be a lot easier then mine. He;s looking for a good bumper, since every one he has seen has been damagaed or beat. Maybe I;ll get luckey and pull one when I;m in Florida next week.

I care! It doesn't look too bad, based on the fact that you literally taught yourself. It's nice to have such a prominent TN member here to show that the Camry isn't the ES300's half retarded brother. Well done!

Thanks guys. I hope to have it painted semi decent on Tues or Wed. I went to a Toyota Only show at a dealership last year. they sent me to spectator parking. I walked back to the entrance and said I came to be IN the show. He asked me if I had the ES300, lol.
BWA HAHAHAH! That SERIOUSLY made me LOL

Everyone asks me that, lol. Several reasons.
1: I like the ES300 front end, and the Camry rear end.
2: I don't like body kits, but wanted something different.
3: Dual Projector headlights. I live in the woods with no streetlights, and they are great with HID low beams.
4: I was told it body lines would not match up, so kind of wanted to prove everyone wrong, lol.
5: It just flat out confuses the crap out of people. It makes things quite funny.

That came out really good. I've wanted to see how this looked ever since I heard of the conversion. Does everything really bolt up perfectly other than the fenders?
This would be really cool to do on a V6 5spd Camry coupe!

It bolts up better on the 92-94 Camry. The 95/96 had the brackets for the headlights change where they the radiator support assembly. And ther eis a diffewrent bracket on the body for the fender mounting too. ALL bumper components are a direct bolt on swap.
