Default Differences between the model years

What are the body differences between the model years for the SC300? I'm browsing through pictues of used SC300s, and the 97's seem to have a more refined front end than the 92's.

Also how much would it cost to replace the front end on these cars to the stock front end on a 97?

Taillights were revised 3 times across the entire run. 92-94, 95-96, 97 & up. The spoiler was changed in '97, along with the front bumper, and side skirts. The engine outputs were increased in '96 for the 1UZ-FE, and again in '98 for both engines, as well as a gated shifter with chrome/wood/leather ****. (Much better than that big pushbutton pole affair) In '98 the manual option was deleted on the 2JZ-GE. '95 & up cars got R-134a refrigerant. That's all I can think of at the moment.....

Ooops. I couldn't remember exactly which....RX-7s got it in '95....I think that was the year it was required. But my statement is still true.
