Hey everyone!
Looking to possibly get a 2015 Lexus ES300H with some front damage(grill and bumper). I really like the 2016 grill, would it fit the same or are the dimensions different? Does anyone have an idea or would this question be better suited for Lexus parts?
Thanks

 

This is the perfect way to "update" any car, when getting it at a salvage auction. However, due to it being soooo new, you're kinda screwed - in the sense that the STEALER has to get all the parts for you... now being they're so new, you're waiting weeks at a time. It's not a matter of swapping bumpers, you're going to need the wiring/harnesses which will be different for sure, due to "led strip fog" things for staters. The side profile LOOKS like it may be the same fender but it's not, so budget for those and possibly hood too, but if you do decide budget for a new set of fender & hood. This direction - you'll be paying what the insurance estimated damage at, which brings you to a full retail value of the car; aka get a new 2016 from a dealership...

You're BEST case? You get a FULL front clip for 5-6k from a '16 car from a salvage yard and use those parts... you mentioned it's a front end wreck, well, the clip might be the best idea in case you need an apron, rad support, etc. By the looks of the front end - it *may* be slightly different [rad support] to accommodate the more slouching/elongated front end.
The downside here is that 2016 parts will be very tough to source since it's so damn new.

Even looking for NX parts the other week, I couldn't source much for it, especially in Canada!

 

With the sensors, air bags, etc, I'd say you'd save by just trading and taking the hit. If not save the exact same money, would in irritation and future 'bugs' from the changout.

 

^ it's not even the sensors/airbags. Those are the same, it's the little things like pigtails for bulbs, or "new" harnesses that add up QUICK to make this $$$ lol

 

Very true, that was an option but I've been shopping around and I think I might just go for a new 2015 ES300H from the dealership, thanks guys
