the front bumper looks pretty bad with the difference in ground clearance to the side skirts. if only the f/b were 3" lower!! and that isnt the 92-9x ES300 front end, its the headlights from a later model ES? maybe the one thats equivalent to the gen 3.5?

i could cream myself thinking about that front end conversion with a jdm ES300 lip....

^--i think it's the side skirt that makes the FB look high...

and yeah, late model ES front on a Gen.3 wagon...

My friend in the SCEP Kansai club in Japan said he'd look for a Camry Dolphin aero lip for me.

He said you really can't find them any more but he'd look.

Funny thing is they're all into USDM the way we're all into JDM, I bet someone might trade for an RMM lip or something if you could get over the language barrier.

That is one sweet toyota! I would have badged it as windom and have the people guessign what it was!

ok...I agree with you guys that if there was a front lip to mount underneath that ES300 front, then it would look much better to suit the side skirts and low profile of the car. HOWEVER, in the state it was shown in the pic, the ES300 front end conversion on the Scpeter wagon makes the car look too damn long. Like it's got a huge nose or something. Just doesn't seem right. Overall, the car is really clean tho...definitely would catch my attention.

to be honest....i really dont like it too much....its jus the back and everything......eww

I love it..reminds me of the Toyota Crown station wagons or even the Nissan Cedric station wagons...those were classic!

Just getting things strait. Since the body of the camrys and lexus's are the same 1992-2001, does that mean I can put the next to most recent(1997-2001) ES300 front on my Gen 3? Or just 1992-1996 ES300 on my gen 3?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the wagon is a gen 3 with 1997+ ES300 front right?

Also, if anyone know an exact list of part I need to aquire to do the swap?

Most importantly, what year headlights can you use with the Gen 3's wiring, and are mods needed for them to work? ES300 started to use HID's when? They obviously wouldn't be compatible.
