Default Is the front bumper cover interchangeable between 2001 Lexus es300 and 1999 model?

I have a 2001 lexus es 300. I need to replace my front bumper cover. I am finding it hard to find a replacement bumper anywhere. But I found quiet a few good deals on front bumper covers from the 97-99 model. Can I buy the 97-99 and fit it on my 01 without changing the fog lights ?

It's possible, but you will need to modify the fog light mounts

Have you had luck in finding 01 es300 front bumper anywhere? I am trying hard to get hold of one for a while now.

haven't really looked but i'm sure there are junkyards that have it.. it wouldn't be cheap...250-500 for the bumper i'm guessing and buy fog lights and repaint and install...not going to be cheap

If you don't mind it being OEM, have you considered the front bumper of the "Evo" style body kit(s) from Duraflex/VIS? If you do your research, it's priced fairly and it comes out to under 250 w/ shipping.

Just a thought and throwing it out there.

fitment issues!! either it'll look horrible or cost more to make it fit correctly...i've dealt with alot of modding back in the day so i know how this goes
