Default Camry Body Kits Compatibility

I don't know for sure if this has been asked here before but I'm looking at Camry body kits. I figured its gonna cost me just as much to buy a new bumper for my smashed es that I might as well get a body kit. has anyone here tried putting on a full camry body kit on a 97 es300. Also what do you guys think if I put a kit on my white 97 would it look better if I kept it two tone or went monotone white.

Here's a white ES with (what I believe is a Camry) kit that stayed two tone if that helps you decide at all:

I'll see what else I have too.

I was thinking like this kit http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/97-98...spagenameZWDVW. The only thing is if it goes up in bettween the headlights then it won't fit.

Yikes! A little busy and ostentatious for my tastes for a Lexus, or a Camry for that matter. But I'm just an old fart and it's your ride, so go for what you like, right?

Yea I thought about it last night and decided against the full mit due to it possibly making it harder to sell when I decide to. I would like to get a lip kit tho slooooow do you know where I could get those lip kits or any lip kit.

  • Memoryfab seems to be a site favorite - at least it's most mentioned.
  • L-tunedParts has them as well.
  • You don't have to buy the whole kit; you can get just parts from most of them.
  • I found this on LuxuryParts.com too. (Not a preference, just trying to give you plenty of options)
  • Some place called "My Auto Fashion" where I know several folks have bought various parts
Hope that helps.

Yea that helps out a lot. I'm not sure what i'm gonna do I might just fix it back to stock and sell it. It has 205k on it now so I might get a newer es or a gs300/400.

Nothing its just got some body damage that needs to get fixed (i.e. bring it back to stock. Read my thread on it https://www.clublexus.com/forums/showthread.php?t=285615.I'm driving my Subaru Outback Limited now untill I fix it.
