The '00-'01 grille is a nice upgrade item for your '97 ES. Lucky mine already has that

Looks good, gato!

man you've done so many 97 to 01 conversions on your car, maybe you should've just bought an 00-01!

car is lookin really nice, one of my favorite ES's on CL.

Looks really good! I found something similar on ebay, Its 3 pieces of chrome strips that you put on top of the old black pieces. looks the same as mr lexus grill except it doesn't have a chrome strip going up. For anybody that wants it the seller was autogrilles and it was around $25.

that thing is nothing more than that cheap chrome door edge cover thing... not worth $25 and looks cheesy as hell
