Rod Millen was asked to work on the IS platform, not LS.

I think he was asking if body kit pieces (e.g. side skirts/bumper valances) would fit on the '04. I don't think the sheetmetal changed that far down on the car, aren't the only changes on the front clip (a la the '98 facelift)?

So, I take it the new 04 headlight units will not fit 01-03 models? Someone on this forum said (a long time ago) the 04 taillights with the clear/silver center could fit a 01-03? How can we confirm this to be true? Check with Lexus parts? I wonder about other 04 options that might retrofit into a 01-03, such as backup camera or keyless entry system?

look at the headlights, they are different shapes. just from the pictures i can tell you they wont directly and easily fit. If you saw that thing a long time ago, then it was definitely wrong... almost no one knew what it looked like....
