Well -- I think I found the answer to my own question. I pulled up pictures of both models on Ebay and there appears to be some fundamental design differences that would keep them from interchanging

I bought a nice 1995 LS400 from State Farm Insurance that is hit in the left front headlight -- I have a good LF fender - hood - headlight - corner light that I can paint black and install. But the front bumper cover I have is from a 1994 LS400. When I go to places like www.car-part.com it tells me that the 1995,96 and 97 are not the same as the 1990 - 1994. But sometimes the difference is cosmetic and doesn't really affect whether it will fit and work. My impact bar is undamaged. Has anyone actually tried to install a 1994 bumper on a 1995? If it won't work I will find a good used one of the correct vintage.

I just took my car to exact performance to see what is recomended for my susspinsion and PS system. They said I need a new rack and pinion ($790 P&L) my PS high pressure hose($609 P&L if done with rack and pinion) Both front tie rod ends need to be replaced ($114 left $94 right P&L)BTW why is the left more than the right? ?They also recommended strongly that Both rear upper control arms be replaced for $886 P&L. I was wondering if I could do any of ths myself, and how these prices compare. Of course I will need 4-wheel alignment for $85. Should I buy the parts from carson, oreilly, or just let them take care of it? BTW they will install parts I bring in. THX

If you are still looking for that trim piece email me at casterman1@sbcglobal.net -- I think we have a Gold 92 LS400 that we are going to part out and it has this color trim piece
