this has been discussed numerous times, but since im bored, ill go ahead and humor you

none of them will fit.. a few of us: me, georgehsieh, and mcv20 have put on the trd camry lip kit - 6 pieces..it somewhat fits - side skirts come up half an inch too short - easily extendable if you go to any body shop. www.extremedimensions.com has a kit for the 97-01 es300 for $750 i think. its a knockoff of the jdm executive kit (if memory serves me correctly).. and theres also the pure jdm ones available through: www.zippmedia.com or for the wise sports kit (my personal favorite and i also plan to get it) is available at www.wisesports.co.jp

if you want the 6 piece trd kit, good luck finding it: its been out of production for a few years and retails for $1300... luckily we 3 bought it at roughly $300-400 each through ebay..

you can see pics at: www.cardomain.com/id/hoebag
or look in the es300 gallery, i think there are a few pics of mcv20s ride.. and george is also on cardomain


edit: oh yea... youre gonna have to shell out major $$ for the kits (other than the trd) because they all cost roughly $2500+ without shipping from japan O_O

well... cheap is not the way to go.. i speak from experience
get what you want the first time around.. even if it means saving up for months.. im only 18 and i think ive come a long way from when i first got the car...

so if cheap is the way you wanna go.. the trd lip kit is your best option

heres a few pics of my car so you can see how it looks... sometimes cardomain acts up on me







yea im showin off

If you ever do and I still don't have one yet, consider it SOLD.
