shizgriff Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Hi all i'm looking to pick up a 01-06 ls430. I like the look of the 04-06 but love the price of the 01-03. My ? is can I fit the front end from the 04-06 on a 01-03? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amcdonal86 Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 For the price it would cost you to do that, you might as well just buy the 04-06.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizgriff Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 Dam I see like a 10 grand difference in price between the 01 and 05 a front end is gonna cost that much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1990LS400 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Anyone else? Anyone else what? It's a silly and expensive idea. Why bother when a fairly low mileage 04 LS430 can be had for less than the price of a well equipped new Corolla. Besides, I like the styling of the 01-03 LS430 more than the 04-06.

I just wanted to know if it could be done no need to be rude. What's silly about trying to get information about something it's just a question.

jainla Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 I think someone on Club Lexus actually did this; you'll need new fenders, new bumper cover, new grille, new headlights etc. And a great deal of that will have to be painted as the 01-03 and 04-06 colors don't exactly match (except maybe black and white). Also some of the wiring harness is different; if you do a search you might be able to find the post on CL. If you found a wrecked LS430 with all those pieces intact it might be reasonable but I agree it will probably cost less than just buying the 04+ For the price it would cost you to do that, you might as well just buy the 04-06....
