Default ES300 Body Kit

I have a 92 es300. I would like to know if anyone knows if a camry body kit of the same generation will fit on an es300. I have asked a few retailers but they do not know. If anyone has any information on this please help me out.

Default kit

There is a body kit for the es300 (92-96 I think) that is sold in the states. It is made by tsunami. If I were you I would try and do a little research on the kit and consider that as an alternative. I am not sure if a camery kit will fit without having to mod it to the es. Sorry if I was of no help.

the tsunami kit is pretty nice, but very expensive. If anyone knows where i can get it in separate pieces and cheaper that would be nice. The main reason i want to know if the camry bumper is the same is because their are many kits, and they are cheaper. I dont want anything too extreme, just a little change, i plan on getting either an sc300 or an is300 in a few years so i dont want to spend too much. Thanks for the info about the tsunami kit.

i doubt the camry lines are smooth enough to match the ES lines. the curves would be different i would think.
i may be wrong, but putting a camry kit on an ES would have different curves to it, since the body exterior shape is different.

None of the Camry kits for ANY year will work on any of the ES's without a good deal of custom re-working of the kit. That doesn't mean it won't work (just look at Sugi!)....it's just that it's not a simple bolt/clip on job.

I agree that the lines of the camry are not the same as an es, i would never buy any kit without knowing how it would look of course. Thanks mezoom for the info about the bumper. The only mod, if you can even call it that, that i have is a mesh grill i made myself. It gives it a more agressive and distint look from the stock version, it also looks good with the yellow fog lights. I also bought super white headlights which look ok, but i wish they had more of a blueish tint. Any mods i do are things i have made myself because of a tight budget. Does anyone know anything, besides clear corners, that adds a personal touch to the 92-96 es3s. I know not much can be done but i enjoy a good project every now and then. Anyone who has opinions about this or has done something themselves, please share with me, i would like to see what other owners think looks good. I realize the es is more a classy sedan that it is a sport sedan, there isnt much you can do for it, but anyone with info or expierence with their own engine/exterior mods please add your input. Thanks
