SpeedRacer959 Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 Probably, knowing lexus, they wouldn't have changed the mounts just to "freshen" the bumper cover. Be careful though, your car will start to look like the ones on eBay where It's got a 2001 front end, 1998 body, and 2001 rear end, etc. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 there was a guy once who said he had to change his fenders hood and bumpers to update his 97 i can't remember if it was all perfect bolt on but the rear lights are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted August 3, 2003 Share Posted August 3, 2003 Yeah the whole front clip should bolt right up. The hood, grille and headlamps are all new, I think the fenders carry over. Gonna cost you though. I know someone that just did this to his 96 LS400, updated to the 98-00 front clip and it cost him upwards of $8,000, the ES wont be much cheaper. You may find that you could get out of your 98 and into a 00 for the same amount, or not much more. Then you wouldn't have the issue of degredated value like you'd have with the 98 updated to the 00, it'd be worthless on trade. If you owe money on it you'd be really in the hole. I also agree, I like my generation the best but I think the 00s and 01s were a big improvement over the 97-99. Amazing what a few really minor tweaks can do.
