ok i have a next door neighbor who has a 97-01 es 300 and my car being parked buy it the two car look identical what i was thing is if the frone end of that car can be fitted on to a 96? The headlights look the same shape except the 97+ has 2 pieces and the tailight's look the same I bet you it will work.

 

Why would you want to?



The gorgeous 2nd gen (92-96) front end with the headlights is one of the hallmarks of the ES heritage, as is the overall shape and form of the 3rd gen (97-01) ESs.

You'll remove the key beauty factor of a 2nd gen, while having none of the 3rd gen's shape (on the rest of the car).

Would it be a snap-on switch? Negative.
Would it be POSSIBLE? Maybe with enough money and an extremely skilled body professional with fabrication skills.
Is it advisable? Negative.

 

Yeah I would leave it alone, the only thing I would consider is somehow chroming the outer lip around the front of the grill like the 3rd gens have, that would look killer on a gen2 but thats it. Anything else would look kinda

 

If you want your car to look similar to the 3rd gen ES, take out the orange reflectors in your headlights and taillamps. That is about all that I would do.

Your car is not compatible with the 3rd gen.

If you are still not satisfied, Buy a 3rd gen.

 

just something i was thinking about
