Default 95-97 Sideskirts/Rear bumpers compatible with a 98+ LS400 ???

Its so hard to find affordable aero for a 98+ LS400. Will the 95-97 Aero parts work at all? Or is the body completely different from the 95-97's. I thought it was just a front end facelift.

sideskirts should fit but the rear bumper won't just bolt on. You'll need a talented body guy to massage it to fit, but if you're trying to save money it's not worth it since anything you save on the parts you lose in the labor.

hope you aren't hunting for knockoff parts, most of the cheap crap available doesnt fit properly anyway.

98 external facelift included new trim, glass (but interchangeable), fenders, grill, hood, front AND rear bumpers, taillights trunk, and wheels. (off the top of my head)

Thanks for that. Its so hard to find proper information. Sooo much conflicting info while searching. Are the tail lights also different? Or do 95-00 All share a similar tail light? They look close in pictures, but everyone lists them as 95-97 tail lights.

they're different enough to not interchange without redrilling the trunk lid. they don't line up otherwise.

the lenses are different too
