I was on Ebay looking for a body kit for my 98' Lexus and I could not find any so i typed in Camery Body Kits. A few of them came up, but now which year of the Camery bodyt kit will fit my '98 Lexus?

this has been discussed numerous times, but since im bored, ill go ahead and humor you

none of them will fit.. a few of us: me, georgehsieh, and mcv20 have put on the trd camry lip kit - 6 pieces..it somewhat fits - side skirts come up half an inch too short - easily extendable if you go to any body shop. www.extremedimensions.com has a kit for the 97-01 es300 for $750 i think. its a knockoff of the jdm executive kit (if memory serves me correctly).. and theres also the pure jdm ones available through: www.zippmedia.com or for the wise sports kit (my personal favorite and i also plan to get it) is available at www.wisesports.co.jp

if you want the 6 piece trd kit, good luck finding it: its been out of production for a few years and retails for $1300... luckily we 3 bought it at roughly $300-400 each through ebay..

you can see pics at: www.cardomain.com/id/hoebag
or look in the es300 gallery, i think there are a few pics of mcv20s ride.. and george is also on cardomain


edit: oh yea... youre gonna have to shell out major $$ for the kits (other than the trd) because they all cost roughly $2500+ without shipping from japan O_O

well... cheap is not the way to go.. i speak from experience
get what you want the first time around.. even if it means saving up for months.. im only 18 and i think ive come a long way from when i first got the car...

so if cheap is the way you wanna go.. the trd lip kit is your best option

heres a few pics of my car so you can see how it looks... sometimes cardomain acts up on me







yea im showin off

If you ever do and I still don't have one yet, consider it SOLD.
