Default 1993 Lexus es300 compatible with Camry parts?

I just got into an accident today. The bumper, fender hood and lights are all basically shot. Can I replace this with Toyota Camry parts? Im looking on ebay and the name changes the price ALOT. thank you!

Everything under the hood and drivetrain should work. A Lexus is a Toyota. Your model except for the minor body changes is a Camry V6.

body parts are not interchangeable. Under hood parts and drivetrain should be compatible as long as it's made for a v6 camry. I've changed my struts to coilovers, and if your old strut is still in good condition it's almost as simple as putting it on and torqueing to spec and getting an alignment (if you don't want to pay a mechanic to do this). Is it an alloy wheel that comes stock with the car? If yes, try www.taprecycling.com to see if they have some in stock off totaled cars. E-mail them with your year/model and part that's required, they're staff is usually quick to reply. Get your strut from them too if needed and whatever body part!

To answer your main question, fender, bumper, hood, and lights CAN NOT be changed from a toyota to a Lexus. Axle, YES.
