Yeah, what Doug said... I think it is a lip kit, because the website lists "spoiler" (aka lip). Not sure about the fogs up front, not too familiar with the 97-01 gen front bumpers.

From the pics shown, the Auto Couture fogs for the '97-'01 ES appear to be made of a different construction than the stock ES fogs. This is also because they are on a different location of the front bumper (i.e. more inwards to the middle).

Lexus007, I hope you have a reputable and reliable body shop helping you out with the installation of the body kit when it comes

congrats on the purchase 007!! Can't wait to see it. The ES w/AC kit has always been one of my fav. Lex.

Are you gonna slam your car once you get the kit?

Not slam it but a conservative drop.

007, can you cancel that order?

It appears that the auto couture kit is at a low $2300 bucks on www.ltuned.com wich I believe is now being managed by Carson toyota.
