Hi so my brother wrecked my 98 ES300 and it was all front end damage. I went and bought a cheap 98 Camry to take at least headlight, radiator, etc. Looking at the hoods and fenders I don't think I can replace those with the Camry parts but the bumper looks the same. Can anybody help me figure this out? The ES300 was considered totaled out. My brother can't pay me at this time so I'm looking to do this myself. It's pretty much just aesthetically damaged except for the radiator. Do you think i can use some of these parts off the Camry on the Lexus?

Headlights will not fit, bumper will very likely not fit.

The Camry-ES duality is less cosmetic than it is mechanic.
If the Camry is the V6 model, the radiator should work. (On RockAuto, they are the same part numbers.)

To be frank, buying a Camry for this purpose was not a sound financial decision.

Are there any pick-and-pulls near you that have ESs in store?

According to picknpull.com:
Tumwater location has 2 97s which should work.
Tacoma location has a 99 which should work.
Vancouver location has an 01 which may help (headlights, hood, fenders; bumper unlikely).

For the Camry or es300?

Not sure where the confusion, but I will restate.

Body parts (including the headlights) from a 98 Camry WILL NOT fit a 98 ES300.
Engine parts (from a V6, 1MZ-FE engine) from a 98 Camry SHOULD fit a 98 ES300.

The PickNPull links I have found for you show ES300s in Washington that can be salvaged from.

The Gen 3 Camry and 92-96 ES300 had interchangeable body parts, but not the Gen 4 Camry.

You're better off finding an ES300 as a parts car if you want to swap over parts.
