05 Es Grille On A 02-04 Es

[steviej]

I was thinking of swapping out the grille on my 02 ES with grille from an 05 ES.

anyone know if this is a direct bolt in replacement. It looks like it is.

From my examinations it is, but you never know, I thought the 05 tails would fit too.

It might fit, but the screw holes might be in a different place on the '05. Just a thought.

Let us know if it's do-able Steve.......I wonder however if your going to run into the same type problem as with the 05 tails as sw & amf mention. How much is the grille?

Perhaps next time your at the Lexus dealer.......park yours right beside an 05 & open the hoods to see how things look.

Alan- I looked at them side by side and it doesn't LOOK any different...

I will compare this saturday at my dealership and I can get it for about 125.

SW, you are absolutely right, I don't want to go through the taillight fiasco again.

steviej, if the '05 grille fits with your car, you should go with the mod. It'll make the front of your '02 look different than the rest of the '02-'04 ones out there :D

I agree Doug! B) Keep us posted Steve as that mod will look sharp if it's easily do-able. ;)
